I have purchased a toyota camry le with fabric in metallic gray. Have not picked it up yet.....the dealer offers a paint and fabric protection . I know how my car looks after 5 years and was wondering if anyone has ever done this........? What would you advise? It will cost me $5 more per month on my 1.9% financing. Thanks

If you have time to drive to a carwash, you have time to whip out a hose and HAND wash your car. 1. Wet it all over and let the dust/dirt soak 2. Wash with a very diluted solution of mild dish or handsoap from a bucket using a large wool or sheepskin mitt. Rinse each section after soaping. (by section, I mean roof, then hood/trunk, then windows, then doors, then bumpers/rocker panels, then wheels/tires.......in that order, so that your wash water starts with the cleanest sections first and ends up with the dirtiest ones (tires). 3. Wipe down with a good chamois to prevent water streaking while drying. There are 'exotic' car cleaning systems, but this method is cheap, fast and easy and will keep your factory finish looking like NEW for 10 years or more. Guaranteed! For interior, save your money and have it professionally shampooed if/when you sell the car......or when you think YOU want to see a cleaner interior. Enjoy your new baby!!

Just indicate you are having the apparent engine lugging and vibration problem at about 35-45 mph, give them the TSB numbers you found on the internet, and they'll take the car back and do magic. You'll have it back in 1/2 hour, running like a champ.

Replying to: exler (Oct 30, 2008 12:48 pm) I gotta admit, I'm so busy enjoying the newly found level of non-hesitating, non-lurching, non-gearhunting......that I've become temporarily immune to any other fault the car might have. (except for that rumbling/grumbling noise I hear from somewhere 'down below' that sounds like a wheelbearing or CV joint...do Camrys even HAVE CVjoints?) My dealer is not in a mood to cooperate with me on ANY TSB now since I ragged him out over the 2650 (Can. version of 068-08). I wrote the owner after being treated like dirt by the service coordinator and service manager. The owner emailed me back and said "many customers spend time on the Internet and come in with their problems PREDETERMINED"...........yes, and your point is? That was his excuse for the service dept being jerks when I had to teach THEM about the existence of a TSB for hesitation and rough shifting. Shheeeshh!!
