1993 Camry 105k Miles Runs Superbly Power Windows Locks & Sun Roof on 2040-cars

Year:1993 Mileage:105461

Red Bank, New Jersey, United States

Selling my lovely granny owned (from 0 - 98,000 miles) 93 Toyota Camry, I bought her for likely the same reason you are here now, she's strong reliable and fuel economical,
Some things I'd never expected were how responsive she is, how smooth the ride is, smart cruise control, that she has an Overdrive mode, and a sports mode, and finally how incredibly easy to work on she was.

 My partner (a qualified mechanic) has replaced the old battery with a brand new one, replaced the old and fraying alternator belt with a crisp brand new one, replaced the old and weary air filter with a brand new one, replaced the down pipes and exhaust system with completely new parts front to back, The oil and filter have been swapped out for fresh and new.

Yes she may have 105,500 miles on the clock and not be the prettiest but anyone who knows their cars will know this is nowhere near half the lifetime expectancy of a 93 Camry and she has AT LEAST another 10 years to go, Toyota are renowned for being the duracell bunny of the car world and with the least love and attention possible they last forever, my parents still have the same Toyota Hilux they've had for more than 25-30 years and it still hasn't missed a beat. 

The love and attention that this lovely car has received from us will see her onwards for at least another 50,000 miles without any consideration (oil change tire check etc) and way beyond, but we would like her to go to a loving home, she never failed us whatever we asked of her and served us a fantastic few months, she doesn't need love and attention but if you can provide it we'd like you to have her. 

For anyone wondering why we are selling a car we have grown so attached to it is very simple, we are getting hitched and moving to Europe to live in 3 countries and simply can't take her with us, and believe me we considered it, but my partner already has a car there waiting for us, so we wish you happy bidding and good luck, she's a wonderful car and we will both miss her.

Toyota FT-1 Concept presents a future we want to live in [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Toyota has brought its A game to the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, showing off the striking FT-1 Concept. Short for "Future Toyota," the FT-1 is, we're imagining, the supposed Supra Concept we reported on early in December.
Penned by the Calty Design Research team, the FT-1 draws inspirations from the FT-HS and the Lexus LF-LC concepts from 2007 and 2012, respectively. We certainly see a bit of Lexus LF-A in the design, while there's more than a hint of Formula One in the FT-1's pointed nose.
"Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe," said Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer.

How many Toyotas are potentially affected by seat fabric problem?

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

When we reported yesterday on Toyota's stop-sale order of certain 2013 and 2014 models due to an issue with the fabrics on models with heated seats not conforming to flammability regulations, one of our many questions was how many vehicles were affected? More importantly, how many of those cars have already found homes?
Kelley Blue Book has the troubling statistics. Every 2013 and 2014 Avalon features heated seats. 6.2-percent of 2013 and 4.5-percent of 2014 Camry sedans, meanwhile, were sold with heated seats. That doesn't seem as bad as 100-percent of the larger Avalon, until you consider the Camry's huge volume - the 5.6-percent average still accounts for a lot of cars. Sienna minivans are heavily affected as well, with a total of 37-percent of 2013s and 46-percent of 2014s fitted with butt warmers. The stop-sale only affects 7-percent of 2014 Corolla models, but like the Camry, that number is rather misleading due to the sheer volume of cars Toyota moves. You can see the entire breakdown of percentages by clicking on the inset image.
According to Karl Brauer, a senior analyst for KBB, this problem comes at the worst possible time. "Given that much of the US is currently in the grips of a record cold snap, there's sure to be high demand for models with seat heaters," Brauer notes. The stop-sale order is a good first step, but it doesn't do anything to inform consumers who currently own the affected models and may, in these frosty temperatures, want to use their seat heaters. "Should owners of those vehicles stop using the seat heaters?" Brauer asked.

Toyota temporarily idles pair of Indian plants due to labor unrest

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

The Detroit News reported today that Toyota will restart production at two Indian plants, following a shutdown on Monday.
Factory labor, management and police in Asia engage in the kind of violent altercations that we're not used to, having almost entirely walked away from the overtly brutal relations epitomized by the Pinkerton Detective Agency and the Flint Sit-Down Strike. In India, a plant owned by a Ford transmission supplier plant was shut down in 2009 after incidents between workers and armed men around the same time as Ssangyong workers occupied a factory in South Korea, in 2012 Suzuki Maruti workers rioted over wages around the same time upset employees beat a ceramics factory president to death in retaliation for a labor leader's killing.
Toyota is the latest to company trying to avoid that road. The Detroit Free Press reported earlier this week that it shut down two plants in India after 11 months of acrimonious wage negotiations and arbitration have gone nowhere. Toyota said the plant workers in Bidadi, near Bangalore, had deliberately stopped production at times over the past 45 days and threatened management. The workers said they wanted their wages raised by an amount already agreed to by management, but that management had reneged; news reports weren't clear on the amount, some saying nearly 10,000 rupees ($165 US) more per month, another saying 4,000 rupees ($65 US), but reports agree that Toyota has said it will only go as high as 3,050 rupees ($50 US).
