Hi up for sale is my 1984 Toyota Camry LE Liftback.  This is a rare model of this car, I have only seen maybe one or two other lift-backs still driving around.  I currently drive this car 100 miles a day back and forth to work and am only getting rid of it since my employer is relocating me back into Manhattan so I no longer need to own a car.


I absolutely love this car.  I have previously owned an '84 Corolla and am very familiar with these cars and can attest to their reliability and how fun they are to drive.

This car is from California and was shipped over early in 2012 by the previous owner.  With that in mind she has little to no rust to be found and has almost all original equipment in working order.

Here is a log of what I have done to this car:

Purchase Date: 6/5/2012
Miles Driven: 16211
Average MPG: 31.41 (I track every tank of gas and this is an average since purchase)

49,500: Transmission Filter Replaced, Fluid Drain and Fill
49,500: Fuel Filter
49,500: Crafted Battery holder bar using threaded rod to replacce missing one
49,900: Drained and Filled Transmission Differential
50,500: Rear Windshield Wiper
50,863: Timing Belt, Crankshaft Seal, Camshaft Seal, Oil Pump Seal, Water Pump, Power Steering Belt, Alternator Belt, Radiator Cap
51,000: 2 New Tires, Balancing of all 4 tires, Wheel Alignment
52,000: Oil Change (10W-30) with Castrol High Mileage and Puralator Gold Filters
56,200 :Oil Change (10W-30) with Castrol High Mileage and Puralator Gold Filters - Transmission Drain and Fill
59,200: Replaced bad O2 Sensor, spark plugs (iridium replacements), PCV valve and Grommet
60,200 - Replaced Bad Thermostat and old Valve Grommets
61,200: Tire Rotation
61,200: Oil Change (10W-30) with Castrol High Mileage and Puralator Gold Filters - Transmission Drain and Fill
62,000: Drum brakes, pads and springs replaced
65,200: Air Filter
66,300: Replace master brake cylinder and bled entire system out (original brake cylinder will come with the car)
66,300: Oil Change (10W-30) with Castrol High Mileage and Puralator Gold Filters - Transmission Drain and Fill

The headliner is coming down in the back of the car.  I've meant to replace but haven't gotten around to it but, it seems to be holding up fine and hasn't fallen any more since I originally purchased it.  A replacement kit can be had for ~$100.

The distributor cap looks good and shows minimal wear which is why I never replace it.  

All CV joints look good and show no signs of breaking.

Transmission shifts well and I have been changing out the fluid every time I do an oil change to keep fresh fluid in her.

There are small dings which are in my pictures but overall the paint is in great condition.

Coming with the car will be:

2 Puralator Gold Oil Filters
Box of Dorman Oil Plug Washers (note this car uses rubber washing instead of crush washers from the factory - IF YOU USE CRUSH WASHERS IT WILL SLOWLY LEAK OIL)
Set of 4 Rim Hubcaps (see the trunk picture below - I took them off because some of the clips are broken and as a result the caps make noise as you drive - replacement clips should fix the problem)
Toyota Factory Shop manual (Green Book in trunk Picture)
Haynes Repair Guide
Old Master Brake Cylinder (just pulled out of the car this week and replaced - I cleaned the old one and it can be reused if you get a rebuild kit)

I have attempted to list any deficiencies this car has.  The cruise control works great but on steep hills will downshift aggressively.  The power antenna as I said no longer works but I lift it up with my hand before driving. Econ and Power transmission modes still work.  Interior is in great condition aside from a few stains as noted in the pictures.  The exterior door handles are a little pitted but will clean up with some metal polish (see picture).

I hate to part with this car - but it is too hard to keep it parked where I live and it will better serve someone else.  I tend to get 2-3 compliments a month on the car it it really is a head turner - is is extremely rare to still see one of these rolling around.

Good luck and feel free to ask any questions.

2014 Toyota Camry to get 'significant' attention?

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

With competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan mounting, Toyota is getting set to unveil a refreshed version of its Camry sedan a mere two years after it was fully redesigned.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its US sales crown in the midsize segment. That desperation has lead to increased incentives and fleet sales in a bid to keep its title, all while trying to keep pace with a slew of very competent competitors.
"It's safe to say we'll be doing something with it," Bill Fay, group vice president of the Toyota brand in the US, told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show. "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."

Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners

Thu, 16 May 2013

A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.

Toyota Prius line may not reach 2013 sales target

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

2012 was a good year for the Toyota Prius line, the hybrid that started it all moving 236,659 units, being the best-selling model in California for the year and the Prius C (pictured) being deemed the most reliable car of 2012 by Consumer Reports. Then 2013 happened, and gas prices dropped more than expected, and people haven't been buying the little hybrids like they used to.
A report in Bloomberg says Toyota set 250,000 units as the Prius family's sales target for this year, but hits like the double-digit drop in year-on-year performance in February have helped lower 2013 sales by 8.4 percent compared to 2012, making the objective "a challenge" to reach. The declines in Prius sales come even as hybrid sales overall were up in the first couple of months this year, including sales of other Toyota and Lexus hybrids. Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American chief, said the Prius target would be adjusted if necessary.
