so, there is a 92 camry SE 4 door at a local dealrship around here, and i've really gotten acustomed to driving a bigger car then the celi thanks to my now totaled accord, and I stumbled across this... It's a 92, 140 thousand miles, dark blue, V6, 4 door, and a stick. the dealership is asking 4800ish, and I'm thinking this could be a decently fun/roomy daily driver. does anybody have experecne with these things? I've never seen a v6 stick camry in person, so I dont know what to expect... If i like it, its in dec. shape, and I can get it for about 4G's, i'll prolly bite smile.gif what do you all think?

Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driver

Well, after checking it out, I think it's a decent car, but I agree with you all, its not worth anything more than 3 grand in my eyes... Decent shape inside and out, just a couple iffy rust spots. Kinda stripped in terms of equippment (which suprised me).The engine tranny combo was quite a good suprise, however... That thing is REALLY smooth... You can bounce it off the redline with hardly any vibration, and not much noise. Very refined... Also pulls quite strong trouought the powerband... But it handles like a big old camry.... owell, Kinda cool to see what it was like though rolleyes.gif

For handling, all you need is a nice drop and it does wonders. TRD RSB is a nice addition as well smile.gif.

Rust spots on a Gen 3? Uh oh. Something happened cause that ain't normal.
