>> You don`t say how it was maintained , before and after you acquired it.No >> car will live long without proper maintenance, just like people. > >Lemons are not brand specific, and this one with the muffler problem >would seem to have (have had) a serious engine combustion/tuning >problem. sounds like you got a GOOD one.Although I must say it is unusual for A Camry.I have a Honda Accord ~86 It has needed maintenance on a steady basis but I have never touched the engine, tranny and front end , oh, one tie rod end .It now has 200,000 miles on it, and I do change the oil every 2500.3000 miles because my driving is classified severe service.It still cruises at 100mph + where legal (Montana)and normal cruising speed up here in Canada is 80 100mph(not legal) on the 400 series highways. anybody says any different is full of it as I travel these roads almost everyday.
