ya know the all trac toyota's require a special fluid in their all trac
units or they literally fail! toyota type "T" fluid is ungodly expensive
but specially formulated for the all trac unit. it's marketed by the
gallon only! also all trac camry's are notorious killers of rear axle
joint boots. they are slick as can be if properly maintained but area
nightmare if let go! i saw them condemed to salvage yard hell over and
over by neglect that vehicles fall into over time and age when owners stop
taking routine care of the "old car". the engines run for ever but
toyota's are not imune to rust!

>For the lists info, this sounds like a decent deal to me. The all-trac
Camrys were made '88-'91 IIRC, and were 4 clyinder seans only. With a 5
speed it should be a good ride. (the 4 cyl with the slushbox feels rather
gutless, IMO)

June, with 142K on it. It's now at 167K and shows no signs of stopping.
