Ummm.... why??? Why would you drive an antique Camry? This thing should be parted out to owners that need the parts and then crushed. It served it’s time, but now other cars do the job oh, so much better.

I wonder... is it possible to actually put a SUPRA engine in a new Supra? Nah, why bother...
Wait a minute... The Pantera was manufactured in 3 different decades???
I’ll never get it. I’m sure a god-load of money and time was spent to make this fakery thing and it’s just so, so sad. I mean, why??? It’s not a Ferrari. It’ll never be a Ferrari and I’m sure drives like crap and sounds like crap and handles like crap.
Yep, I think you’d regret buying this. If you can put together $10k more, you can get a 3rd gen with higher miles or a solid 2nd gen with none of the drama of the custom paint and crap. This car will be a tough sell and will only get tougher and so the price will drop. If you could get it for < $20k then sure, but…
No, no one is buying it and no one will. The cars that sell are the ones that it doesn’t really matter what the model NAME of the car is, people point to that and say “I want that!”. That was the 4th gen Supra. Every kid wanted it (decades before F&F) and those kids are adults now. But, would people buy it other than…
In terms of the first question, my assumption (have no idea for sure) is that the dealer isn’t betting on your selling car - in fact, quite the reverse. I’m sure the requirements to meet the “lifetime warranty” mean doing every possible add-on service they can think of “5k service”, “10k service” and changing and…
Yep, but the REAL people who are screwed are those that then buy that 2 year old Accord for $17,000 which is what Carvana offers them at now. You immediately lose $3,500 vs what the owner before you sold it before and then you add taxes on top of that. THAT is the real loser. People that say that they want a “recent…
I think it was a great idea, but certainly doesn’t make sense to try it again. If you want people to get in EVs then reset the incentives for companies like Tesla and get them back up to $7500 again. Make additional incentives for states who provide them and/or power companies.
At $4k for a car that looks like it’d be a lot of fun, is relatively recent and safe and parts are domestic with no German Engineers, I’d say “sure, why not”. As long as you don’t fall in love with it and are prepared to dump it if an expensive repair comes your way, there’s no reason not to consider it. 124k miles…
Yep, NOTHING is more fun than EV torque. Not being sarcastic. I drove a Leaf for a couple years and even with it’s small motor, it was a blast to drive.
Definitely NOT reliable. Wasn’t reliable new, can’t imagine it now.
Oh dear god, those things were unreliable from the factory and that was even back then when cars weren’t nearly as reliable as today.
A Century??? a 10 year old 370z??? Do you guys want to give good advice based on what THEY want or what YOU want? There’s a whole ton of good options out there at the 5 year age mark for $15k.
Yes, clean and LOW MILEAGE. Not 150k mileage examples. Only the best increase in value.
1995. 148,000 miles. $8,750. Gee, which one is not like the others. I mean, if you want to buy this and keep it forever, that’s great, but realize that you aren’t going to sell this thing for more than a few grand in most areas and that’s only if you find the right buyer. You are just about to the antique state.
Yep. Instead, make a $100k Surburban-sized SUV electric vehicle and us Americans will be all over it. I’m only half joking.
Guys, you aren’t thinking like Musk. I can PROMISE you that this wasn’t some engineer’s fault. Musk DEMANDED it. Think about it. When a Tesla gets in an accident or catches fire or whatever, Tesla wants to know EVERYTHING about those seconds leading up to the incident. Not only about what Autopilot is doing, but what…
They won’t. This has been a known issue for a long time now (started in 2012 models) and they will absolutely quote you $4k if you are out of warranty.
I would compare this to the transmission failures that Toyota had in the early 2000s. Tesla should issue a TSB covering them 8-10 years from purchase. Having one fail right after the warranty conveniently ends in which case your car is inoperable and your only solution is a Tesla part that costs you $4,000 is…
