We estimated that Toyota produced 6 Camries with manual transmissions for that generation.
I own one autotragic Camry and one of the few times that I drove my newer, lower-mileage, and prettier Toyota, instead of my Honda with a dented roof, Gorilla Tape adhesive all over the front bumper, paint peeling off the back bumper, and other signs of individualism someone totaled my Camry.
I am still trying to make my core support look more like Mom's:
I just want to straighten it some more and pull it about 1/3". I had planned on getting Mom's car out of the way, parking my Accord sideways, locking pliers on the end of the core support, putting some tension on it with a cargo strap attached to the Honda tow hook, and using C-clamps and angle iron to straighten and stretch the core support.
Then I would have someone redo some spot welds.
I bought a new radiator; the old one didn't seem to start leaking until well after the accident.
I fear that I hit a rock driving to see a tiny house for sale down a dirt road and the splash shields that got ripped out shortly before the accident weren't there to protect my radiator, but I haven't taken the time to find the leak.
I replaced my hood, bumper, headlight, and 3 brackets for $200, but I couldn't find ones the right color, although the paint, even though it is the wrong color, is in much better shape than the original components.
I didn't have the time to straighten the core support with Christmas and everything and now I don't have the Accord to use as an anchor. I don't know how else to pull on it, reinstall the old radiator, turn my car around, and run my strap around the tree, then drain and remove the radiator again?
As always this seems like one of those things that would be easy with 2 people. If, for example, my brother ever held something when I asked him to, I could wrap that ratchet strap around a 2x4 with the bottom wedged against the wheel, and just have him lean back.
As far as I know, Camries don't have tow hooks.
My sister wants me to look at this Honda with 200,000 miles near the New Mexican border. It seems to be the only Honda or Toyota posted within the last week in my area and Enterprise doesn't allow one-way rentals, but I could rent a 10-foot box truck for almost $200.
Facebook Marketplace just shows some Civics the wrong generation in the Phoenix area. I don't have any idea why they are only asking $1,250 for
this one, or why they took the time to write "Miles: XYZ."
