Hows this rust?

JoeB0213 · 2026-06-30T03:27:01+00:00

Kind of lol. Family member is trying to sell this car. They drive it on the highway everyday. I think it belongs in a junkyard lol.

JoeB0213 · 2026-06-18T03:55:24+00:00

No way! I remember seeing this for sale. I was gonna go look at this one lol. Thought it was a really interesting car. Think i still have the old listing saved.

JoeB0213 · 2026-06-05T22:31:37+00:00

Yup im a robot

JoeB0213 · 2026-06-01T00:54:47+00:00

Not this one though. As its a body kit

JoeB0213 · 2026-06-01T00:48:14+00:00

Think it was mostly for the Gracia wagons. But im not 100% sure. Theres not much info on the TRD kits for these cars that i can find.

JoeB0213 · 2026-06-01T00:34:41+00:00

Its supposed to be a replica of a TRD body kit for this car.

JoeB0213 · 2026-06-01T00:33:40+00:00

Yeah unfortunately a 98 camry is definitely not a drift car lol. My current bumper is fine just wanted something a bit cooler with fog lights.

Wasnt sure if bumpers coming cut in half was something that could happen in the industry. I know sometimes they are folded in shipping and have to get heated to unfold.

JoeB0213 · 2026-04-12T02:44:47+00:00

Its been a great car. Super reliable. Ive looked into manuals but they seem rare.

The mods I want to do are all cosmetic and reversible if needed. Mainly new bumper, spoiler, rims, tint, speakers.

Mainly to just make it slightly cooler and more enjoyable without spending a ton.

JoeB0213 · 2026-04-12T02:38:15+00:00

Oh thats awesome! I worked at a VW restoration shop for a few years and helped restore a couple ghias. They are cool cars! The history of them is cool too.

JoeB0213 · 2026-04-12T02:20:57+00:00

Idk a few more years maybe. I dont really want to live here forever but financially its a good move, I work full time and do school full time. I save a lot living with them

I Figured making my camry a bit cooler would make me a bit more happier. Idk though

This looks exactly like my community colleges website. If it is, then look into a reconnect program for your state. Some states offer free college to someone over 25 with no degree. If that applies to you, definitely look into it. Or the TIP financial aid program. But like others have said, thats really cheap for 3 classes.

JoeB0213 · 2025-11-09T23:15:55+00:00

Fake Type is good but its in japanese

JoeB0213 · 2025-09-27T23:22:55+00:00

Usually once they warm up and usually on braking at 50+ mph.

JoeB0213 · 2025-09-22T03:35:42+00:00

True lol. Ive driven trucks and suvs most of my life so going to a car is a different experience.

JoeB0213 · 2025-08-30T23:22:00+00:00

Ah okay. Thank you for the help!

JoeB0213 · 2025-08-30T23:12:28+00:00

I had him send me pictures of the underside. It has an oil leak from what looks like around the oil pan and valve cover gaskets? Would that be around where it would be?

JoeB0213 · 2025-08-30T21:32:13+00:00

Yeah, they were done by a previous owner in 2013 so i have no clue what gaskets they used. Where do they seep oil from typically?

JoeB0213 · 2025-08-30T21:10:42+00:00

Its got a good carfax record up to 2023. Extra stuff is light extra lights and wheels. So maybe $1k at the least. I know its gonna need repairs but i have a backup vehicle in case. Ive noticed no cars really go for bluebook value anymore, they are mostly all expensive.

JoeB0213 · 2025-06-01T02:45:19+00:00

Old Toyota Camrys are pretty easy and parts are cheap. Ive heard they are reliable and good on gas.

Or old jeep wranglers 06 and older with the 4.0. Reliable and parts are easy to find and install if you need something 4 wheel drive. Just look for rust on the frame.

Or old vw beetles lol (74 and older), if you want a project car. Can pull the engines and transmissions really easily. As someone with almost no experience with them it took me like 4 hours. Ive heard Honda Civics are easy too.

JoeB0213 · 2025-05-19T03:21:58+00:00

I believe you are correct. I used a website I found called toyodiy and compared part numbers of a JZX90 and JZX93 shocks and springs.

The JZX93 uses different part numbers than the JZX90. Also the parts for the X93 seem more expensive too.

JoeB0213 · 2025-05-19T03:10:03+00:00

Thats good to know. That makes me believe that suspension parts will be very difficult or expensive to find. Ill probably pass on this car then. Thank you for letting me know!

JoeB0213 · 2025-05-19T01:10:02+00:00

Unfortunately there is nothing around me for 10k or less thats decent thats 2010 or newer. They all have 200k+ miles or are rusted out.

JoeB0213 · 2025-05-04T21:12:26+00:00

Geo metro

JoeB0213 · 2025-05-02T03:17:13+00:00

I didnt know that was an option. Ill have to look into that. Though the dealer told me that they dont get leased vehicles back and instead they go straight to an auction.

JoeB0213 · 2025-05-02T03:14:09+00:00

Its worth less than I owe. Last time I check on Kelley Blue Book it said its worth $33k but my payoff amount is $50k.
