There is a $500 rebate on the Camry and a $300 incentive on 2001 Corolla CE models with the automatic transmission. We get an extra $200 if we hit our August objective. These both are set to expire on the 5th of September.
#3 of 8427 Engine Light ... by jrct9454 Sep 01, 2000 (10:49 pm)
...dealers have the computer to read the OBD code which will tell you instantly what the problem is. And, in fact, it is most likely the gas cap. Fact is, even after you correct the problem [cap not screwed on far enough to hear the multiple clicks], it takes several engine on-off cycles before the light goes out...just how many I'm not sure. But it won't go out right away... Next most likely candidate is a faulty O2 sensor; possible but unlikely in a new car. And the rebate on the Camry in the CA market is $750 in NorCal...may be even more in SoCal [I haven't picked up an LA Times lately].
#4 of 8427 Yipes, What Happens After the Fifth? by wmorledge Sep 02, 2000 (10:25 am)
What kind of change will I see in price negotiations after the fifth? I'm in a bind because I'm depending on the sale of a few acres of rental property to fund my new Camry XLE purchase. Though my buyer's bank assures me that these individuals' loan is dependant only a matter of time (10-12 days), I'm wondering if I'm going to get screwed by Toyota because dealer incentives and rebates are, supposedly, null after the fifth of September. Also, I test drove the Mitsubishi Galant LS V-6 and GTZ, and I was terribly impressed. Great styling, ride, and gorgeous interior, all for much less than an XLE. Still, when it comes to longevity and dependability, where does the Galant stand? Thanks, wfmjr Replies to this message: vikee (Nov 03, 2005 7:23 pm)
#5 of 8427 new incentives by cliffy1 Sep 02, 2000 (1:20 pm)
We got a new incentive sheet yesterday. My previous information was in error on one count and that is, the $500 rebate so ignore the whole thing. here are the correct and current programs: Good 9/1 to 9/5. All 2000 Camrys have either 5.9% APR financing for up to 60 months or $500 dealer incentive money. Dealer incentive money means it it not a rebate but the dealer can sell it for $500 less than he could a couple of days ago. Good 9/1 to 10/2. All 2000 Camrys have 3.9%/5.9%/6.9% APR for 24/36/48 months or the $500 dealer cash. These are obviously overlapping programs but the $500 dealer cash is good until 10/2. The only problem you may encounter is finding an XLE V6 if you wait too long. There are not that many of that model left.
#6 of 8427 Calling shade tree mechanics by cardiact Sep 02, 2000 (6:15 pm)
Can anyone give me insight as to changing the left front turn signal bulb on a '97 Toyota CamryCE? It looks as though I might remove the two screws holding the headlight ass'y and could then gain access to the turn signal ass'y. Will some unanticipated part fall into a non-recoverable location, hence rendering my car undriveable, or is it a straightforward (relatively) operation? My age is showing. A few years ago, I would have been unfastening parts without a thought to gaining info from someone who might know. It also appears that by removing those two screws, I will not affect headlight aim (I hope.) Thanks.

I checked with Consumer Reports 2000 Used Car Buging Guide. Mitsubishi Galant for the 6 of the last 8 years (1992-1999, except 1993 and 1998 which had insufficient reliability data) received black check marks for reliability verdict (average reliability). During the last 8 years, Toyota Camry reliability scored much better than industrial average consistantly. Indeed, it's used as the example of the very reliable car by Consumer Report. Toyota Camry is one of only 9 automobiles that recieved all red check marks (above average) reliability verdict for all of the last 8 years. They were (in alphabetical order) Acura Integra, Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Lexus ES300, Lexus LS400, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Truck, Toyota Camry, and Toyota Corolla.
#8 of 8427 Cardiact - Check the Manual by jrct9454 Sep 03, 2000 (1:44 pm)
Doesn't the owner's manual walk you through simple things like bulb changes? They used to [last one for me was a 93 Camry]...certainly Honda does on the Accords that are currently in my garage. Never had a problem doing this kind of repair at home...and no, I don't think you can affect headlight aim unless you do something really ham-fisted with the actual cluster assembly.
#9 of 8427 Exhaust System Problem with 2000CE by 2000ce Sep 03, 2000 (7:04 pm)
Exhaust System Problem with 2000CE I bought a 2000 Camery CE(Auto) in July. I smelt some light burning when I test-drove it. The dealer told me that it is normal: Toyota applies some sort of coating on their engine and exhaust system. You will smell the burning for the first few hundred miles and it is going to burn off pretty soon. But right now my car already has 600 miles on it and the burning is not going away and getting worse and worse. Sometime I can see light smoke coming out under the hood. Yesterday I got down under the car right after I drove back from work. And I can see some heavy smoke coming out of a filter looking thing along the exhaust pipe under the engine. The car sometime jerks slightly when it shifts and it is not doing great on gas either(17 miles per gallon in cities). I already scheduled an appointment with the local Toyota Service Store for next Wednesday. Before I hear what they have to say, I am wondering if anybody in this forum have ever heard about this problem and could give me some suggestions on how to deal with it between now and Wednesday.
#10 of 8427 About advice to Cardiact from jrct9454 by cardiact Sep 04, 2000 (3:21 am)
You are correct and thank you. Talk about overlooking the obvious. The change avoided the headlight ass'y altogether. Now if only my auto parts store had sold me an amber bulb instead of clear. . . Michael
