Anything look wrong with this car? I'm considering buying it
>>28118547It's a 2001 Toyota Camry with about 222k miles on itThey're asking for about $2300 for it
>>28118553that thing is worth $500 man2001 is in the fucking dinosaur ages, stop pretending anything before 2010 is viable
>>28118553I know the problem, it's fucking $2'000 for a Toyota lol, but in all seriousness, plug in a ob2 scanner and check for code and test drive it to see after if it leaks oil. check all liquid levels of coolant, oil, breaks, power steering, etc.
>>28118573>plug in a ob2 scanner and check for code What's that? I already left the place. I know jack shit about cars >and test drive it to see after if it leaks oil. check all liquid levels of coolant, oil, breaks, power steering, etc.Took it for a test drive. Seemed ok. Reddish looking liquid in the left was low, no idea what that stuff is
>>28118569Toyotas last long. $2000 isn't that bad considering most used cars are like 5-8k these days
>>28118579>What's that?A $50 tool that can save you $1000s later on.
>>28118594If I ran a scan with this tool, how long would it take to get results back or is it instantaneous?
>>28118622Its instant. Plug it into the obdii port and you can see what codes there are or if any were cleared recently.
>>28118641Interestdating will have to check that out, mucho thanks
>>28118641Where exactly is the obd2 port? Google and chatgpt says it's buy the barkes on toyota camry, but do i need to pull something out or off to access the port or is it just there?Just don't want to be fiddling around for too long when i next go to check it out
>>28118547Why is the engine sideways?
>>28118741Nope the port is just there. You should find it pretty easily but you can use your phone flashlight if its difficult. Just look up a video. If the seller doesn't want you to read the codes, that's a bad sign.
>>28118569>stop pretending anything before 2010 is viableironic because I literally would never own a car made after 2010
>>28118547Not a bad price all things considered. Definitely could’ve got it for less years ago but I digress. That’s a V6 car, the 1mz-fe to be exact. The V6 Camrys are more of a pain to work on than the I4s and they aren’t as fuel efficient but they’re pretty reliable. They are an interference engine so plan for a timing belt change if it hasn’t been done in a while or ever. Those are also prone to sludge buildup if you let the oil change intervals run long. I just bought a 2004 Camry with the 3mz-fe V6 and so far I’ve done a thermostat and driver side cv axle. There are going to be issues with cars this old but they’re pretty darn solid. As other folks has recommended, get a code reader off Amazon and see if there are any stored codes.
>>28118547What’s that clean looking threaded spot face near the engine mount.>>28118553You should be able to get a 2011 for that.
