1991 Toyota Camry V6 GX - another one joins my fleet!
An unexpected purchase over the Bank Holiday weekend, I've seen this regularly only a few miles up the road and had left a note on it over a year ago.
Owner had been offered only a small amount as a trade-in against a van, in reality scrap money, and wanted it go to a decent home and to get a bit more for it if he could. Although it's not great timing, with the purchase of a V6 estate due soon and more work being needed on the house, I was able to oblige...
Once I'd viewed it and got some cash out he was even able to drive it to mine, so I had no insurance issues to deal with. Tax just expired and MoT due very soon, but it doesn't seem to want for much so I'll take it to the garage for their verdict and hopefully get it on the road. Certainly drives well, and it's old enough to go on my classic insurance policy.
Maybe it'll eventually become a spares car for the estate, or I'll just sell it on, but for now I'd rather keep using it to avoid the brakes going sticky etc.
