    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

2001 Toyota Camry - Anyone familiar with these?

I owned a Lexus years ago. I bought it with over 200,000 miles. I took it to 320,000 miles. The engine/transmission worked flawlessly. The body was in decent condition. However the dash lights kept burning out one by one till I could hardly see the speedometer at night! Another thing, the headlights were so yellowed, it was hard to see at night. When the seat deteriorate it was finally time to scrap the car.
So yeah, it may run great, but all the little things just keep adding up. IMG_20110807_134356.jpg

A little digging suggests that car uses an 5S-FE engine. About 135hp. Under stressed. I'm not positive, but google suggests there may be a timing belt in play, and if so, it will pay to inspect and/or replace that thing.

At least it's a non-interference engine.
 
My friend had one from about that era... he donated it. They fixed it up (to get it smogged) and moved it on for about 5 grand or something. It was probably a couple years newer & a bit less miles but not pretty as it had lived in the Wet/snow followed by the sun by the beach all it's life.

All car prices are pretty crazy right now. $300 with some vague idea of history is definitely a steal. :)
