This 1998 Toyota Camry was originally bought by me 10 years ago. Most of the mileage was highway miles. I traveled the NYS Thruway from Buffalo to Syracuse and occassionaly to Albany in my business. Later my son drove it to back and forth to college and most recently my 82 year old mother drove it until she just recently gave up her license. It was a great car and the engine runs as good as it did when I bought it and the transmission shifts fine. I have changed the timing belt twice over the last 10 years so it should be good for many more miles and I have always run Slick 50 at every oil change. It has newer tires, had exhaust work, and was NYS inspected about 5 months ago. The truth is you could slap a plate on it today and drive it anywhere. There is very little rust and I've pictured most of it. Thats the Good! Now the bad. The air condition worked until last summer and slowly got warmer. I've never had it charged up, so my guess is that the problem. I don't smoke and I use to be able to call it a non smoking vehicle but my son and his friends smoked in it when he took it to college about 4 years ago now, though it really doesn't smell, there are a few cig. burn spots here and there, but not too bad and the same kid broke the rt. side rear view mirror. I started to repair it but its not finished and that will be your project. The rear struts need to be replaced. I hear them rattling in the trunk area and its starting to boat a little over bumps, the check engine lite is on but it didn't stop the NYS inspection and finally I have been nursing the shifting cable for years. It should be replaced. I have toggled it so it works but It drove my 82 year old mother crazy the shifter doesn't really line up correctly with the P R and D..lol. There are the usual scratches, dings and rubs of an older car. It sells free and clear and "as is" but if you or your kids need a dependable pretty good looking ride with minimal repairs, that also by the way also gets great gas milegage, then this is your car.
The car is available to be viewed locally and is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction should it sell. Read my feedback, and bid with confidence. I will guarantee the car is as described.

Consumer Reports calls on Toyota to recall older Camry Hybrid models
Thu, 31 Jul 2014Consumer Reports is calling on Toyota to issue an official recall of 178,000 Camry Hybrid sedans from model years 2007 to 2011, claiming that a pair of issues affecting the brakes are so dire they demand a more official action than what the company has undertaken so far.
The first issue, as CR tells it, relates to a clog in the brake-fluid reservoir filter, which if left untreated could lead to a number of dashboard warning lights. The "front brake assist could be temporarily lost," too, according to Toyota's own notice to dealers and owners of affected models. The company has issued a "service campaign" that will fit a new brake-fluid reservoir free of charge to any affected model brought to a dealer by June 30, 2017.
The other issue plaguing the fuel-sipping Camrys is being treated via a warranty extension, and focuses on the ABS brake actuator, a particularly expensive (both in terms of parts, at $1,000, and labor, around $3,000) item that is necessary for the anti-lock braking to function. There's also a related issue with the brake pedal's "stroke sensor," which like the actuator can lead to a very difficult-to-depress brake pedal. The warranty extension increases the coverage of the actuator to 10 years or 150,000 miles (whichever comes first).
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
Union to launch Toyota organization drive in Canada
Sun, 12 Jan 2014Toyota may be heading toward some labor issues in the Great White North, as employees at a pair of Canadian Toyota factories may be set for a certification vote. The Unifor union, which was the result of a merger last year between the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union, will be holding the vote.
Over 40 percent of the employees at the Woodstock and Cambridge, Ontario factories have signed union cards, cresting the minimum percentage required to instigate a legal certification vote, according to Reuters. The Woodstock factory is responsible for RAV4 production, while Cambridge builds the Lexus RX350 and RX450h, as well as the Toyota Corolla. The two factories employ nearly 7,000 people.
It's unclear when the union will hold a certification vote at the two factories, but what is rather clear are the worker complaints. Employees are concerned about workers being hired on temporary contracts which lack the benefits of full employment, John Aman, head of organizing for Unifor, told Reuters.
