There is a Camry where the C30 was.

Have you taken the airbox/air cleaner housing off to see how much louder it is yet?

I went to a music festival with 3 other people in one of these. Even though they are uninteresting it peformed perfectly.

Even with more weight than it probably wanted it in.

And that sag was without the 4 people in it...

Will you polish the headlights?
If I had it I would be proud of it and put a beaded seat cover on the drivers side and possibly some custom doilies for the dash and parcel tray.

Does it have a Camry Dent? If not, you must fix this problem immediately.

Was planning on buying new. The side markers have a little water in them. I can get all new for both sides for $50

Yes, rear driver side of bumper. Not major but it’s there.

Funny thing is you are the third person to ask this!

Nothing wrong with those 14's. You have any idea how cheap tires are for those? Lol

I love the Camry and Corolla for what they are. They just work. They might not be exciting, but they aren't the boremobile that people make them out to be.

I hate to say it, but it’s really no where near as bad as I expected. I was pleasantly surprised.

dang thats cheap, but is it what grandma would do? It makes me angry cars still use plastic headlights. Why not glass?

How faded is the rear bumper?

We had one of these for 13 years from new. Boring, but awesome cars. And well built, too.

Just like a totally different shade.

Mom thought it might be accident damage.I said that it’s just what they do.

not the Camry’s fault the tires are loud lol. But when people put CAI on our Elise, they sound pretty nice!

It’s really not a bad car.

Very comfy. Ok power.

Only has 115k miles on it. Nothing for a 97

I can confirm, that is what they do. Especially Cashmere Beige (4M9) cars.

It’s much better than I expected. Only has 115k miles too so it’s barely broken in.

Way back before I got the Civic, almost had a Camry coupe. Kind of wonder what happened to that car.

JQJ213- Now With An Extra Cylinder! > Decay buys too many beaters 02/22/2016 at 15:46

Not really. Although ABS is acting up so if I slam the brakes I kind of do one.

Need to go “borrow” some trays from school now

I think it’s the only color the car came in. The whole interior is beige too.

Nothing against the Camry.

You should take her to an autocross, one of the most terrifying experiences I’ve had was wrestling my girlfriends rusty subframe, expired bushings, pretty sure broken sway bar XV10 through the cones. So much roll that I had to initiate each corner about 10 feet sooner than I do in my FR-S just to let the car settle.

JQJ213- Now With An Extra Cylinder! > Slant6 02/22/2016 at 16:01

It’s a stupidly over complicated plan

Buying the Camry lets me get an S60 that I really want

I’ll leave it at that. The rest is a surprise.

Either way more details will be in another post :)

Easier to break. It’ll stay clear longer, but think of how easy windshields are to crack from flying stones and then imagine it being even lower and closer to the firing line.

No, glass headlights will need replacement.

Well, since entire headlight assembies are now a wear item, we might as well make a universally shaped headlight to keep costs down... wait shit we’re back to sealed beams

Nope! I’ve still been looking for a car for grandpa. We got this in on trade. Working at a dealer means they just throw me dealer tags and tell me to bring it back by the end of the day.

However, the Volvo will probably be gone by the end of the month. Wish I was kidding there.

Having some financial issues with it. I guess that’s why you don’t get involved with money and family.

And some new problems amount to about $1k or so in repairs

I’m looking at a dirt cheap 24 month lease. Don’t know what yet. Have to go test drive things today.
