That Camry would probably still be running fine with 200,169 miles on it too.

I work with an older guy who has a 1985 Camaro with only 600 miles on it. He bought it brand new, drove it home and parked it in his garage. He washes it every week by manually backing it out and pushing it back in when he's done.

Looks like his shoes are from 1989 also.

Nice car though. My mom had similar one overseas. A 1991 Toyota Cressida, which I believe is the Latin American version of the Camry.

Actually it has 1,000,169 miles but the odometer rolled over

I was dating a girl in HS whose mom bought the nicer Cressida, an 89 model. I didn't even know such a car existed. I still remember her dad saying how it had the same motor as the Supra, which he was proud of I just looked it up and sure enough, same motor. 161 violent HP.

My dad bought it for me and my mom liked it so much she would drive it and I would have to drive her suburban.

Would love to have that ride.



Slightly better bet would be that 1992 (or so) Camry you can see parked next to it.

In terms of refinement and quality, it's probably the finest car Toyota ever built with the Toyota badge (the Lexus LS is probably the overall finest). You still see them on the road today.

The next generation was cheapened to separate it further from the Lexus ES and it hasn't been the same since.

Girl, you went from fitting 7 in the Camry to 13 in the Suburban though. Instant party bus.
