Hehe, too bad I'm used to all that gee-whiz electro gadget shiznit My dad's Highlander Limited has:

ABS
Electronic Traction Control (self explanatory)
Electronic Stability Program (keeps you from turning into a greasy spot on the windshield in quick, high-speed maneuvers)
Electronic Brake Distribution (wheels can be braked individually on demand)

I've run up against ALL of those considering how I gun that thing

:Q all kinds of goodies

It's amazing what all of this computer crap can do on vehicles these days. I was driving 70MPH in the fast lane behind a group of cars in the Highlander one day on the highway. I look at my left mirror for a second, then glance back forward...the whole train of cars is slamming on brakes (rubber-necking idiots, there was a car on the left side of the road up ahead). Definitely not enough time to stop, I quickly glance over to the right then jerk the wheel to the right once the coast is clear (this still with the cruise control pegged at 70MPH) into the right lane then a short correcting turn to the left to get back straight. Then I had to slam on the brakes to stop from hitting the cars in the right lane who were too slowing down. This 3800 lbs SUV just tracked right on through with not much drama at all.

My stomach was in my throat though and I had sweat pouring off my forehead and the sudden urge to want to throwup

Damn NFS4 and his hijacking Camry threads, it must stop!

Yes I am envious of his pristine 95 Camry LE, looks almost new!

Congrats! You got a great deal.

Darn cheap!

Damn, my last two cars have been green. I'm frickin' intelligent, then.

Sounds like you got a great deal on your car. Do you recall what the Edmund's TMV price was on it? I'm sure their price would work out to be $19K or a little more. In that case, you got a "RossMan special."

 

[quirky]

tmv is 19k something

i tried to take pics of it 10 min ago but it was dark and all the pics turned out crappy so i'll take pics next time

 

[RossMAN]

Yeah take pictures during laylight hours, probably better results.

I would like to see at least 5 interior and 5 exterior shots if you can.

That's wrong; I test drove a brand new manual camry a few months ago. They are about as rare as hen's teeth though. The one I drove was a nice SE trim (pretty sure), though it had the 4 cylinder, and it was on the lot for a loooong time before it sold. Heck, it might even still be there!

It was a nice drive. Still a good bit slower than the Maxima of course, but nice. AFAIK the 6 cylinder is not available with a manual.

Yep, the SE with the 4-banger and 5-speed is quite nice. The only Camry that can be had with a 6-cylinder and a V6 is the Camry Solara.
