this lady at work is looking for a car for her kid. her and her husband have narrowed it down to a toyota or a honda.
he's not into super upgrading or anything so they'er just looking for a good car. i personally have had an 88 camery and a 91 camery and they worked great as beginer cars. so i'm looking for an UN-molested camery or honda (civic) that's in good condition. they're looking at milage between 80,000 and 100,000 and a cost of $5k or less -------------------- it's not a dsm unless it's leaking something

I had a buddy who bought a 93 camry with 115k on it 8 years ago. He drove it for 5 years and sold it to another buddy when it had 215k on the odometer. It's still running smooth as the day it was made. No smoking. No engine rebuild. at 150k he replaced the belts and hoses. Never cracked the block open (or head) for anything. No experience with the Honduhs.
MY .02 Also, has anyone ever realized the "factory smell" on toyota's remain for the life of the car? that 93 had the same showroom smell when he bought it. And it remained the whole time he had it. How is that? -------------------- -The original (member) 007. Stop looking at me Spy!!
-98 S-10 P/U creepin' low on stock 15s!! -You come off just a little more intelligent if you know how to spell the insults in addition to saying them |
