Picked up an older Camry L.E. 70 thousand miles on it.

It is gonna be my daily commuter the seller had all maintenance records original owner.
As a daily drive it is one way 52 miles to work now with this change of operations. Now it was good cash price and was disclosed in pictures as it had a lot of hail damage that’s no problem.
The other item that was disclosed was C.D.player and the radio does not work.
A question do any of you in the D.U. community have a used 8 track with cartridge’s for sale let me know.
Dunc the golden chonk and i will need tunes when we’re out cruising to impress the women . Yet we’re not gonna invite the ladies on our ice cream runs they’d probably eat my share of the tummy yummies dad Dunc says.

Make sure to stuff the glove compartment with lots of Dunc treats.

Lasted him 6 years and sold it for 2 grand.
He did maintenance on bearings and brakes and regular stuff. Good car.

Mine is approaching 40 thousand miles. Other than tires, batteries and oil changes I have had no repair costs. I hope it lasts as long as I do.

I wish you luck finding an 8 track. I might have one, but the kids would prefer I don't go in the basement until I'm feeling better. If you haven't found one by the time I can get down there, I can send you a pic.

I've got tapes, but they've been boxed up since the 80s??? I bet they won't work.

I'm a little jealous of your deal

2014 Mazda 5 (minivan). Just over 200000 miles. The engine "lost compression" - my mechanic says a new engine is needed. With all the problems this vehicle has besides the engine, it isn't worth $7K (estimate) to replace the engine.

So tomorrow morning I am off to buy another used car. Hoping for a Ford Focus; I've loved the ones I've owned.
