Well I finally picked it up today! Drove it back home today (80 miles). I am very impressed. The car rides very smoothly and has very good pickup / acceleration. The V6 is a nice engine, and the leather interior is a huge plus. All and all I am VERY happy with my decision, and plan on being a Camry owner for years to come. I will post better pictures later or tomorrow.
The car needs minor TLC. Hopefully you guys can direct me in the right direction. First off the driverside door handle is cracked and not held on tight, so I need a new handle (just handle). Also the red light on the driverside door doesn't work (going to pick up some bulbs tomorrow). The dome light doesn't seem to want to turn on when the driverside door is open as well, but will when the passenger side is.
The rear passenger side door lock doesn't work either. I'm guessing it's the actuator or motor?
Also when I turn on the headunit (aftermarket Kenwood CD player), the speakers make a cracking/popping noise. IDK if I should re-wire the speakers or what, that would be a PITA.
The headlight fixtures on car are brand new (the previous owner had a minor fender bender, I know it was minor because the previous owner was my girlfriends brother), so I obviously want to maximize that. Anybody have any suggestions? I was going to swing by Wal-Fart tomorrow and pick up some silverstars and maybe a set of fog lights. Also the current bulbs are literally facing the ground, I have to align them.
The car has 4 vent shades on it, and I will probably end up getting it tinted as well (I like my privacy). I'm pretty sure I'm going to order this remote starter / alarm as well. Please let me know what you guys think! http://commandoalarms.com/itm30032.htm
I noticed the A/C / Heat dials (and everything included) do not light up, and also the gears [P], [R], [N], etc. don't light up either. Is this simply bulbs or a fuse?
The hood shocks are also shot, as the hood doesn't stay up. Where is a good place to get new ones?
This weekend I plan on devoting pretty much an entire day or 2 to the car. I'm going to swing by home-depot and pick up some materials for a CAI, and maybe even wire up that alarm / starter if I can't find a decent price from anybody.
One last question. Would it be worth it to switch to synthetic oil? The car has 153,000 miles on it.
I know that is a lot of questions and information, but I'm pretty excited about this car. I feel as though it will last another 150,000 miles. Thanks in advance to everybody!
