Hoping to join some Toyota car meets !!! Bought my first Camry back in 2006, identical to this one except a 97, took it off the road in 2014 as needed a commuter car quick (suspension and exhaust gone) - then followed job after job of company cars, vowing to put it back on the road. I used to start and move it every month, everything still worked including air con, it had covered 198,000, and engine was perfect - but rust was slowly creeping in. My wife inherited some money and looked forward to getting it back - and then this one came up locally to me - the maintenance record is like nothing I've ever seen - it's just clicked over 70,700 miles - now the family laugh at me coz i won't use it !!!!

That's a stunning looking Camry. It's gems like these that are the best, with excellent service history, it has to be used, just don't take it out in the rain. Can you post some pictures of interior

Much cleaner than old one - think I'll just shrink wrap the whole thing and get a Yaris to run about in

You can buy leather die treatment for the seats , it will fill in the cracks and make it look like new . I done it on a Lexus SC430 I had a few years back . Your car looks excellent inside and out . Has the timing belt been changed ? Sticker on the inner wing says 08-10-2009, think due every 10 years .

yes I have added that to list of things to do, for the mo used nourishing stuff on them. The last timing belt change was november 2020, haven't applied the sticker - only (kind of) problem with it is it's been waxed protected - during these hot days its leaked wax onto the floor, its coated underneath and has an unique whiff, especially when hot !!!

This is the company I used ….. gliptoneeurope.com/ you’ll need the leather trim colour or the code off the chassis plate 👍🏻
