[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3156377, member: 9374"] Umm.... well, that's old enough it might be ok. My mechanic helped us pick out a Camry ('99 version) for my niece to drive while she was in college. Ran it hours a day for 5 years and still running like a top when we sold it. Problem is, he kept saying what a great car it was, but he bought a newer one for his wife and they have had NOTHING but trouble out of it. I think his is newer.... 2012+, I believe. He swears by those older ones (and so do I), but he won't recommend the newer ones. :( In fact, I don't think he recommends MUCH that is newer these days. On another note, my elderly neighbor's Acadia burned out a headlight - the stealership was gonna charge something like $700+ to replace it??? So my mechanic, as honest as the day is long, he took care of it and said yes, it WAS a stone-cold b|tch to replace, but only charged her something like $250. Some of this sh|te is just crazy, you just can't make it up. [/QUOTE]
