We have a 93 Camry 4cyl with 193,000km on it and it is the most reliable car I have ever had. I have no idea what the engine noise could be but I do that they have a tendancy for the exhaust heat shields to come loose and can make a few different noises. If you've had the noise since new I doubt it is this though. Our car is due for new shocks and makes a clunk sometimes when you first step on the brake. Again, not a possibility if its been there since new. I'm not sure about the driveshaft boots longevity but it should not cost anywhere near that unless they are replacing the entire driveshaft itself. If so, that is ridiculous. A 4cyl Camry hasn't got a hope in hell of damaging a shaft let alone 2. The brake noise is normal as others have mentioned. Ours does it when I first get in the car but goes away once the pads heat up a little. Its a pain but you live with it. The faulty indicators sounds like a leftover from the accident. I'd check the wiring to see if it is shorting and blowing the globe. Alos check that no water is getting into the lights. As for the battery, I work for a battery company and this is what I found from searching on our site. For your Camry you are after a 359 as per the first url.(see below) http://apollobatteries.com.au/TCar.pdf Then, if you check the specs of the 359 it has a 510CCA rating which is higher than what the RACQ has given you. And this will most definately make starting more lethargic. (see below) http://www.apollobatteries.com.au/BatSpecs.pdf [Report message to a moderator]
