Fumbler Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 As briefly mentioned in News 24, Brother Fumbler has gone and bought a P38 Range Rover, and so, the Camry has come up for sale, and he wanted me to put an ad on here for him because I believe it should enter the fold of the Shiters because unnecessary barge with lazy engine and gearbox. A vendre is a 2002 Toyota Camry V6. As standard with this Camry is a 3 speed autobox with overdrive, and a DOHC 1MZFE V6 ~186 horsepower engine. Petrol dinosaur powered. The good:Car has a clean, unmarked cream leather interior and all electronics for engine and so forth work faultlesslyContains working 6 CD multichanger (access in boot)Stereo sound system working flawlesslyOriginal, clean, radio packageAutomatic lights and wipers. Wiper blades good and all lights working well.Paint is a lovely metallic burgundy, might need a little TLC with claybar and wax for that xtra shine but it is sound with no laquer peel.New Dunlop tyres fitted all round. Spare only used once and is still in great shape with no cracking.New Yuasa batteryNew brake pads and beltsClimate control is excellent, air conditioning is ice cold.A perfect, low stress motorway cruiser. It is silent, the ride is good, the engine note is also quite nice as well.Cruise control works perfectly with no general faults to report on the car.Present odometer reading says ~83 000 miles.Clear on all records and has been driven by a competant and safe driver. The needed:The car's MoT expires on 29th March 2019, only advisory left unmitigated is the pitted brake disks, however they aren't seriously weakened. As of 21st February, MoT is being considered to be done regardless of sale. More details to follow in following days.Service history is partial, there is no record up until 2009.Car will need a service, with oil changes in the transmission and engine. To my knowledge the ATF hasn't been changed since the original owner bought it in 2002.The car does have moisture ingress due to bad rear window, boot and probably door seals. In recent weather both the inside and outside have iced over.Rear passenger door trim strip has fallen off and has been re-stuck on with the correct pads which are, however, 1 mm thicker than the originals so it does stick out a bit. Paint underneath, however, is fine.The keyfob key is knackered and so has been taped up quite vigorously. It still works and has had a new battery when it last fell apart. New key has been cut. I believe it has also been programmed. The advisory notice:Rear passenger side sill has an unsealed, rusted stonechip which was there from when brother bought the car. The patch hasn't grown or gone elsewhere since then and a competant welding man also said that it was a small matter and the rust hasn't spread elsewhere. Pictures can be provided on request.It was designed for America and so has a recirculator fitted to meet their emission standards. Nothing needs to be done persay, but I think it's worthy of noting down in case someone wants to squeeze some more power out of it. Ignore it looking like it hangs low, they all look like that. Now for some lovely pictures (they are when the car arrived on the driveway, but they are still representative of what the car looks like today): If you are interested send me a PM and I'll work from there. Again, I am not selling the car, Brother_Fumbler is, but I'm floating an ad on here on his request because Autoshite. Many thanks in your viewings of this page. This is also my first thread, woohoo. It is £1800, negotiation can and will happen! Sorry, price is now fixed and unlikely to change. Vehicle located in Uckfield for rough distance calculations and stuff. Yes it was freee for a limited time of 5 minutes, sorry. Aston Martin, Fat_Pirate, mitsisigma01 and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I can’t see how much it is. Is it, therefore, free? Ohdearme and Fumbler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohdearme Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Where do they get the wood* from? I just removed a nappy from my slightly poorly youngest that must have served for the reference pallete for that tone. However I do like it! - The car that not the excrement filled nappies, obviously. GLWTS bangernomics and mrbenn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohdearme Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I’d also like to think that ‘security’ button causes an slightly rotund bouncer chap to jump out of the boot if it starts kicking off on Diamond discount day at the garden centre.

Fumbler Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 After long and hard thinking and doing research on what others are selling Brother Fumbler has elected to freeze the price at £1800, sorry for any unintentional weeping this has caused.

Fumbler Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Thumpy Bumpy update: Range Rover collekted and now resides in layby. Insurance transferred so Camry is going to move to Father Fumbler's office for a while because uninsured vehicle in layby = notice of intended removal after a couple days sitting there.

Fumbler Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 US transmission for US long driving. Overdrive gearing as described works well. I believe the design is from the 80s but can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play nice, bro. ie Buy it, or STFU. He's not asked for suggestions or feedback on the asking price, he's just trying to help sell his brother's car. If you think the price is wrong, tell him why - but only if you're going to make an offer. I like it best when people are nice on here. Kden.

taxi paul Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yes agreed. Lovely cars. I have the same engine in my alphard. So same has this but 7 seats and heavier. I would imagine this would be fantastic. I wish I could have a five seater car. I would have been down there with monies and waving him goodbye.

Fumbler Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Where......is this magnificence.........?Just edited ad to answer your question! (and others of course) It is £1800, negotiation can and will happen! Sorry, price is now fixed and unlikely to change Good luck with that.Not my price, sorry. I think it is high, too, but Brother_Fumbler has dug his heels in the ground, especially given what other V6 Camrys are being sold for. See for yourself on that one.
