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.

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Thu, 08 May 2014What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck."
Ford, General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra, we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers.
But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different - or at least a more fully realized - opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.
