Message: <blockquote data-quote="zan" data-source="post: 1207724" data-attributes="member: 9632">camry 96 or technically known as SXV10 is actually a good buy considering its big size and sheer luxury and comfort. not the most comfortable sedan, but even proton has yet to come to such level.only one model available locally which was the SXV10R (R for right hand drive) and powered by the 5S 2.2 straight fours from the famous S series engine which also powers the Corona ST171, the RAV4 and MR2 SXA20.very 1st model in 1994 was either SXV10R-DEMEK (for manual) or SXV10R-DEPEK for auto. i strongly advise not to buy these because it doesnt come with ABS.for additional few thousand RM, get the facelifted 1995 SXV10R-DEPEKQ which comes with ABS and better looks. these Camrys are actually very 'manja' and they required serious attention in maintenance esspecially the automatic transmission.many owners thrashed and treated their cars wrongly, then sold it off for a newer car. and its the next buyer who suffers (ppl like us).very common with used and thrashed Camrys are1. automatic transmission that lagged or suffered from delays.2. faulty driveshafts (they come with ABS pick up sensors which make the price high).3. worn engine mountings4. badly maintained cooling system. see radiator top casing for signs of cracks. change immediately if needed so.here are the plus points though1. soft suspension make long journey trips non tiring unlike Honda Accord SV4. BUT, Camrys cant turn in corners as sharp as SV4 Accords due to same reason.2. Stabil upon high speed drive and braking.3. if timing belt snapped, engine can be use back - advantages of Toyota's 16 valve engines.4. not popular amongst car thieves.other minus points1. too big for size.2. spare parts not easy to get, what more non - genuine. be prepared to fork out more money from ur ATMs becoz they are not that cheap also.3. engines sounds rough during idle, clatter like a diesel but that is a characteristic for every S family engines - thats normal but embarassingmy personal advice - get the owner to prove his record of service. if his service book says the car is maintained at UMW Toyota, then go for it even though u pay more than market average. its worth it and u do know the previous history.</blockquote>
