Well well well, we closed one chapter and now we hopped onto the next! What you see below is the final purchase I made since no one had the decency to sell me a good X110 Mark 2 (My birdie is raised at y'all forever) so I decided (with a chuttak lot coercion from my parents) "Hey!, I need a car fast" so I thought what was really worth it and bought this car. So what is this car really? You're looking at a 2.4 Liter XV30 Camry in Black Onyx. Imported in 2004 by the MD of a "Strawberry Company in Sri Lanka" (You know what it is) and owned by him ever since I laid my grubby hands on it. (Single Owner car, well it was registered to the company, car MFD and Reg in 2004). Car has 216k kms on the clock. This time I'm 100% sure its genuine, because the car was a Brand New Import bought from Toy#ta L#nka and was maintained ever since from them, car still carries a tag of the last service done in October, 2020 , also the plethora of old Eco Test reports also helps me sleep better at night. Additionally typing the Cars chassis code to ToyotaDIY shows me as the Market Destination of this car as Europe and a friend told me that's why the speedo goes upto 240kmph What features does the car have you say? I honestly don't know since I pivoted from Mark 2s to Camry's really fast once I saw this car. The only thing notable is Auto Wipers (Imagine my shock when it started raining today and it started to be busy at work, didn't know the car had this feature) and the light up ring next to the keyhole and that's about it me thinks yeah. I don't know the options of these cars so if you tell me what to look at I will tell you whether it is present or not. Electric Seats and the Antenna that automatically goes up and down is also a thing. How does the car drive? Exactly how it looks, pulls like a boat on the straight road with a nice roar and plenty of power but has the craziest amount of body roll you'll get sea-sick if you took it to a track. It's a nice comfy plushy ride and as a cruiser that will get you comfortably from A to B it'll do its job but in terms of road feel and fun to drive its quite rock bottom (In comparison to my experience with a EP91 Starlet). Also looks like Toyota made a 'Feedback-delete' to the damn steering cause I feel absolutely nothing.

Merry christmas everyone . Need some advice, Planning to go for a used mid sized car. Trying to choose between camry, accord and mark x. Fuel economy is not a major concern. Looking for a reliable, comfortable car with decent driving experience. Budget is 4-5 mil. Anyone with experience using above vehicles? Any known technical issues?

Hi Experts, I'm looking for a 2007 Toyota Camry (to buy in mid of 2016 ). I know the fuel economy figures are bad but I'm more interested in driving pleasure and the features of the car. As of the current market it can be bought less than 3.5m. I've googled about the 2007 2.4L model and found that the engine (2AZ-FE) exhibit excessive oil consumption after 130k miles (reference). As of the reports it is not cheap to repair the engine. Camry owners/experts please let me know your experience on this problem. And also I would like to know other maintenance details of the car. I will not go for the Camry if the above issue is common in SL. Thanks.

Hi Guys, I got a problem with my car stereo, (toyota camry 2012). Couple of times it was interrupted due to some reason . But it worked until last Sunday. Now it is not working at all ( no radio, no navigation, no Bluetooth, no reverse camera). When I start the car it gives a message saying , " version up ! insert USB ". Before taking this to a technician, can anyone of you help me to figure out what this could be ? Thank You

i have been looking into buying a toyota camry 2002-05 model, it comes with a 2.0l or 2.4l petrol engine. I considered this cos i prefer a slightly bigger car and its fully loaded and this seems pretty reasonably priced at around 2.7mil. And also has e toyota reliability. Want everybodys opinion about its pros and cons? Also if anybody knows its fuel economy in the city and outstation for both engine versions, obviously i dont expect anything much. Thanks in advance..
