> Elroy5, you don't have a the slightest clue how the current Malibu will "feel, sound, act" Exactly right. Nice post. And right on about real cost of ownership. Why do so many Honda owners end up with an extended warranty if the cars don't need it? I won't even talk about the attitude of the nearest Toyota dealership and their salesmen. I recall years ago stopping ... Read More...

White Bottle Mystery (WBM) again

Written by: metalibrarian on May 10, 2009 03:59 AM

And again I'm the one who first raised the question. I stopped at a Toyota service department today just to ask. The service writer explained that it baffles sound from the air intake. 210delray, is that what you meant by 'resonator'? It has nothing to do with moisture, just air (sound).

Toyota Camry Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Re: $21,926.75 for 2009 Camry LE???? [hmshah]

Written by: cappy44 on Apr 28, 2009 02:54 PM

I bought the Camry LE Automatic at Champion Toyota. Very smooth process. They were very professional and easy to work with. I paid $300 over what you paid, primarily because the deal was already nice and they were a lot better to work with than Mike Calvert, where I had absolutely the worst car buying experience ever, very rude and dismissive. I don't mind rewarding ... Read More...

Written by: redwing40 on Apr 03, 2009 05:20 AM

I was reading some earlier forums concerning the 90k service for the 2003 Camry.

The local Toyota Dealership is quoting me $474.00. What is the difference between the services ... Read More...

Written by: abrownsword on Mar 15, 2009 07:51 AM

I have a 2003 Camry. I am just hearing back from Boch Toyota (Mass.) on the "findings" from my 120K mile service.
