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.

Report: Daihatsu leaving European market
Sun, 16 Jan 2011More than any other, two carmaking giants sit at the top of the industry: Toyota and General Motors. But while GM sells under a (shrinking but still) expansive range of brands, the Toyota Motor Corporation sells most of its vehicles under its own name. That doesn't mean that Toyota, however, doesn't have its own portfolio of subsidiaries. Here in the United States we have the youth-oriented Scion division, while Lexus handles its upscale offerings, and overseas there's Daihatsu.
The budget brand offers a range of small cars under its own name; most are hatchbacks, but there's also the Copen roadster and even a rebadged Camry called the Altis. You may have come across some of their offerings while traveling overseas, particularly in Europe, but that last part is about to come to an end, according to reports.
Word from across the pond is that Toyota plans to withdraw Daihatsu from the European market altogether. The move would reportedly take effect in 2013, and if it comes to pass, would follow similar withdrawals from the North American (1992) and Australian (2006) markets. Thanks for the tip, William!
Lexus LX to get diesel engine?
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Australian consumers appear poised to get another diesel-burning luxury SUV in the near future, and word is it's coming from Lexus, of all automakers. Sean Hanley, chief executive of the company's branch in Oz, recently told Aussie website Drive that he's "pretty confident" that the new engine for the LX is getting the green light.
Like in the US, the LX in Australia is currently only offered with a 5.7-liter, gasoline-burning V8. However, sales of the big SUV are presently minuscule Down Under, with Drive reporting just 153 LX570s sold in all of Oz last year. Hanley is negotiating with Japan to get the new diesel in hopes of boosting flagging sales. If his efforts are successful, it would be the first diesel engine offered in a Lexus there. Hanley didn't specify exactly which mill the SUV would get. However, given the LX's close relationship with Toyota Land Cruiser, the diesel 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 already available in the Toyota in markets outside of North America seems like a natural choice.
Don't expect the variant to be hopping across the Pacific, though. Lexus spokesperson Allison Takahashi tells Autoblog she has heard "nothing" about an oil-burning LX coming to the US. That's not a huge surprise, though, because neither Toyota nor Lexus offer any diesels in their lineups today. Also, Lexus has only sold 1,981 LX570s through June, which only placed it ahead of the LFA supercar in the brand's sales. It's probably just not worth certifying the engine for such a low-volume model.
Toyota plans biggest stock buyback in over a decade
Tue, 01 Apr 2014At the end of December, 2013 Toyota had a cash stockpile of 1.8 trillion yen ($17.5B US). As of March 31, at the end of its current financial year, company coffers are expected to swallow another 1.9 trillion yen ($18.4B US) in net profit - said to be a record sum for the Japanese automaker. In a gesture signaling a turnaround from the horrors of the global recession, Bloomberg reports that Toyota will buy back 60 million shares of its stock, as much as 1.89 percent of the company, for something like 360 billion yen ($3.5B US). It's the first buyback since 2009 and the largest buyback since 2003, when it spent roughly 390 billion yen ($3.8B US) repurchasing shares.
Company president Akio Toyoda founded the Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF), a non-profit that will support international groups working on transportation issues in emerging markets. Half of the stock that Toyota buys, 30 million shares, will be sold to the foundation via the Japanese Trustee Services Bank for one yen per share, the dividend providing the foundation's initial funding. The other 30 million shares will be canceled, a company spokesman telling Reuters that the company wants to reward shareholders.
Industry analysts have been asking Toyota to either return money to shareholders or invest in new factories, but Toyota has ruled out the latter. After getting burned with excess capacity when the financial crisis came, the company is focused on extracting efficiencies from the plants it already has. Toyota has said it plans to complete the buyback by June of this year.
