Yeah, you could be onto something, I think its definately an old camry. I think its red too.

Wheels are shockers, needs to lose that spoiler, they are a good run around car and tend to last forever if you service them occasionally.

I'm having trouble seeing a car... just looks like an empty space... hang on, there it ...........Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Lol reminds me of some Camry. Same model as that. Had mags on the back stockies on the front, a bonnet scoop, smashed up front bar and a cannon. Was the biggest POS ive ever seen probably. And worst of all he drove it as if it was cool.

That one however looks like a good run about car.

Sourbastard · 17-07-2005, 06:42 PM

Are you looking for something that will burn well in the fire place?

It kinda says mums car gone to p-plate racer, no service, had its dinga thashed ou for 3 year given back to mum now for sale.

Any shopping car with dodgy spoilers etc are generally ones to avoid

The Mighty Red · 17-07-2005, 06:44 PM

yep it looks like a red camry to me too.

Atleast i can tolerate that model camry , the new model and the sportivo ............ makes me wanna puke.

FRDXR6 · 17-07-2005, 06:49 PM

Looks like an alright runaround those spoilers are factory items i think, i have seen a few with that little lip spoiler.

Mmmm I wish it looked like that already!

I agree with those who have said that the wheels don't look right on it, and that spoiler is a bit much. It's only a Camry, somebody obviously never told the owner a Camry is not a performance car, lol.

Sourbastard, if I was looking for something that would burn well in the fireplace, I wouldn't get that thing - I doubt even the fire would go near it LOL!

Bucknaked · 17-07-2005, 07:16 PM

Its an 85 Camry. SV20 or SV21 model. I owned one of these cars last year. For a 2.0 litre, its got some go. Didn't matter how much abuse you gave it, it never gave up. even when my EF futura gave up the ghost, the camry was there. Nothing wrong with those camry's. Around town, econmoy, would get about 630 to a tank. Ultra reliable and economical and they don't look too bad either.

Great car if your thinking about. Will outlast any ford on the road today. Of course I don't have any facts to back that up, so ner

AUXRVIII · 17-07-2005, 07:19 PM

MMMM Red with spoiler & globe lookin wheels, gotta be faster than your average Camry.

I thought they were self lighting, like jiffy Heat Beads.

Nah, not thinking about buying it, I'm broke after buying the XF, besides, I'm happy with the XF and can't wait to make a few improvements to it.

I just saw it and thought "I have to get some pictures of THAT"

mcflux · 17-07-2005, 08:49 PM

I like the oldskool rims

**Peuty** · 17-07-2005, 09:47 PM

That does it, I'm selling my AU and trading up to that fine specimen!

Casper · 17-07-2005, 09:50 PM

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzz

Bossxr8 · 17-07-2005, 09:52 PM

Gotta be said.

Its fully sick.
Just needs a fart cannon exhaust to finish it off as well as some performance stickers to make it go faster than his cousins fully sick Lancer.

Dave_au · 17-07-2005, 10:46 PM

At least its not a falcon.

jk

montyv8 · 17-07-2005, 11:41 PM

NO!!!! I wanna trade my BA in for it!!!! I love Camrys! They are such beasty cars. Only problem with that one is that it is not white, my favourite colour!!!! White just suits Camrys!

My personal favourite is the Camry in the recent ad on tv. The one where it says "test your reflexes" with the fly buzzing around - the guy grabs the fly when he does the remote control thing... when I first saw the ad I thought it was "like a fly to " type of thing.... I was wrong!

White Camry, lovely 14 inch wheels, tacky spoiler - all I would need is a grandpa to drive it for me with his hat on the back parcel shelf at 30kmh in the fast lane of the freeway next to a bus! PERFECT!

Im off to bed to dream about owning such a car!

Unfortunately that fact never stopped Hyundai Excel owners putting ridiculous body kits and alloys on them along with exhausts that would be too big for V8 engines 3 times the size.

Speaking of stupid Camrys - my Mum said a friend of hers traded up to a new RAV4 from a well kept 13 year old Camry. Her friend was stupid by not getting an idea of what it was worth and buying a little impulsively. She got $1000 for the Camry. Drive website says trade value should be closer to $4000

This thread brings up the classic internal debate..

Do I..

a) Ignore this thread, hoping that by not posting in it and ignoring it that it will move to page two...which I never, never, ever, read.

b) Post on this thread advising others of how pointless my reading of it was

Go on! You know you wanna!!!

The MaDDeSTMaN · 18-07-2005, 01:15 PM

I wouldn't say this thread was pointless, at first I thought someone had spent good money on a Camry, but now I know it might have always been like that:
