They camery is a good economical car to get you from a to b.

Just dont expect to get away cheaply when the
a) power steering stops working (bahaha dont try and get the rack out of 1 of these things without a large back pocket and many cans of coke/beer Laughing

)
b) head gasket goes (the heads on the Sv21's are pritty crappy compaired to some of the others in the toyota range, and dont like the heat_at_all.. they warp nice and easily)
c) timing chain descides to have a spazum and break / Needs to be replaced becase its old.... this is a bitch of a job, im not going to even start.

but apart from the featureless under-designed exteriour, mass-produced general grey cheap plastic interiour and watered down 3S motor, they are a good car.

Take all the pin striping / bump stops / sticker crap off the side of them, get some nice wheels and tint them, and they actually come up pritty nicely! Such a shame that most of them are frekin auto's... but you get that in a family/granparents transporter vehicle.

$0.02

Oh btw, good luck with your car - like all toyotas, you look after it, and it will look after you Smile

.. Just dont expect a 10+ yr old car to be faultless Smile

I know of two examples that have gone more then 400,000kms and never had to have the head gasket replaced. mines copped a hiding at times and it has never overheated. (did you check your oil and water? no. then what do you expect) I do happen too have owned one which I have had for the past 2 years and have done 41,000kms with the car all still runs well.

Timming belts are ment too be servied every 100,000kms as written in service manuals. if you didn't know timming belts have too be replaced every now and again. the older toyotas have to have theres replaced at 80,000km

they didn't all come out with a grey interior mines brown. mum and dads is brown. and there are ones with blue interiors.
I have grown up with these cars and can tell you now you don't where problems go wrong with them.

Look for things like rust in window sils, manauls cruching into second gear when changing down from thrid, Air con can be dear to get fixed, oh and the problem every SV20,SV21 and SV22 seems too have bent needles in the dash, always look for a history of servicing as with any car

my two cents

and the SV21 is abit older them 10 years old and there are more manuals getting around

Editted for the Comments I made I am truely sorry
