are u sure this is a 88...

cuz i swear it had a digital speedo and a horizontal rev counter....

[jtreign9097]

@AznfoboiXO Yeah its an 88 there was a version with leather that had the digital speedo.. mine was a base model

How much did it cost you?

[jtreign9097]

@ATBMr666 $700 Nearly nothing the dude didn't realize what rare kind of guy he was selling....these cars in perfect condition are worth over 3,000.... Japanese RWD luxury... this is what started lexus!

@jtreign9097 You got to remember though, you have to put the lap belt on or else it won't work well. Also, I think you should see if you can try to get leather seats somewhere. Much more classy.

[jtreign9097]

@Goldenrod636 yeah i always remembered to do the lap belt... its pointless without it. and leather would have been better but the car is long gone now

typical toyota, over 20 years old and everything still works haha :P

[ninendowii2000]

also mines a 85

[ninendowii2000]

thats because they replaced the cressida with the Camry ,

they used the body for earlier camerys but then discoinued it in the us some time in the late 90s they went to new body style,

read it up on wikipedia , lexus took over the body of the cressida or some stuff like that which is also now no more so ,

the cressida has a good darn history ,

[ninendowii2000]

mine just has dead battery with only less then 80 k miles original on it 1 owner besides me lol had a carfax so i know it was original lol , the only problem it had was broken tail light and a blinker which i went to junk yard to get the lights fixed/replaced got the tail light on line now its like new cept the paint job on the left is a little messed up, -due to age and theres a dent usual with used cars- the size of a walmart shopping cart go figure and runs like a beauty haha

[Goldenrod636]

Looks almost like a Camry, and the seat belt chime sounds just like it.
