      @@RobertP-kk5ou Indeed! Only design flaw in mine is the valve stems got too hot & ate up all the valve seals. So she uses a little oil, maybe half qt to 1 qt between oil changes. Past 331,000 miles with only 1 rebuild, got about 220,000 miles on the rebuild! Nope, none of that computer 🐂💩 for me, I'm a girl who wants to do her own work underhood & I like to SEE the spark plugs. 😁

    Sorry Scotty the car you recommended me to buy was a 2012 Toyota Camry 2.5 It is the 2AR - FE it has no rear main seal leak. It’s got 166,000 miles on it, but it burns oil like crazy and it showed no signs of that when I bought it four years ago, what the hell happened pretty disappointed!

    My biggest issue with Toyota cars is they are too low to the ground. Even a 2004 Camry sits like monster truck height, compared to a new Camry.. at a light, you sit so low you can't see a 2004 Camry drivers head. Think it might sit lower than the mr2's i owned.

    Properly repainting a car like that doesn't just cost a fortune. It's actually impossible from what I can tell. I couldn't find any businesses that specifically advertise it.
