Hi all,
I am a prospective owner of a late model 240 wagon. I have also been
looking for a good mid-90's Camry wagon (they stopped selling them in
N-A after 1996 so are rather rare). I know what I can expect with the
Camry (relatively trouble-free ownership, comfortable, roomy), as I
have previously owned one. The 240 comes with a well earned reputation, and I
know it's a very durable and long-lived vehicle. But I gather it will
likely require more fiddling with, troubleshooting little electrical
issues, preventative maintenance, etc. I'm trying to factor what I
would gain/lose with either option, before I make the decision to go
with the 240. I need a solid, reliable car for year-round
transportation, commuting, the odd hauling or camping, etc. I know my
way around cars and can use tools/manuals -as long as the
maintenance/repair requirements aren't excessive, or get in the way of
driving the vehicle, I actually like it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
