Remember, Chris, stylish wheels don't always have to be alloy. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of very attractive styled STEEL wheels on the market. Some are chrome plated, others are anodized, lots of them are powder-coated. All of these finishes are no more maintenance-intensive than your box-stock Camry wheels. Even if you did go with uncoated alloys, the fact that you might have to take them off and get the tire/wheel contact portion buffed and lubed or siliconed would not be a bad thing. Can't imagine too many tires lasting more than five years under many conditions anyway, so you'd have the wheels and tires off the car for this process in any event........therefore, no real increase in "maintenance costs".

Replying to: notmybmw (Jul 06, 2009 11:02 am) I respectfully disagree. About 2 years after I had new tires put on, one of the alloys had corrosion again and needed to be removed, cleaned, and remounted. It happened again around a year later - not sure if it was the same wheel or not. My tire guy said this is common with older alloys in the north (salted roads in the winter). This is a 10 year old car. It definitely is more maintenance cost vs. my steel wheels that have never had to be remounted. One of these was 12 years old, the other 9. Granted, it is not much more, but it is more.

Get yourself a good cushion to put behind your back or you'll go lame. I use one of those foam "horse collar" cushions designed to go around your neck while riding in planes (or cars) and just put the whole thing behind the lower half of my back while driving our 07 SE. Works great! Mike

| Hi! just bought a 2009 toyota camry in feb. I like the car but what a bear to park in certain parking spots!....Is it me or what? I noticed that there is no way to see the center of the hood and you have to "wing it" to park so i am assuming that this is why i am having such a problem. does anyone else notice this? | |

Hi guys I’m new here so please take it easy on me. I'm trying to buy 2009 Toyota Camary LE 6cyl it gives me a MSRP of $24,215 and an Invoice price of $21,793. Now I know I qualify for two of their incentive programs which are the $1,500 and a $1,000 for new graduate. Can anyone please tell me how would I start the negotiations? Can I start from the Invoice price and ask for them to give me both of the Incentives (21,793 - 2500) would that be possible? I live in Los Angeles Thanks in advance |
