This car is already 25 years old, and will probably outlive us all.
I take that as a curse for both me and that car.
Similar energy, this is a craigslist classic:
poor dude.
nobody deserves a minivan with infuriating family stickers on it.
Sounds like a job for the Forrester WRX STi.
WRX STi? I have no idea what it means honey, but the dealer said it gets good mileage and can even be driven in the snow!
A classic Best Of Craigslist
I love that the outside is gray and the inside is grey.
It’s my favorite color combination.
Comination is my favorite letter combination.
Early 00s Japanese cars were just built different. I almost never see Chevy Cavaliers, or Saturns from that time period, but every now and then I’ll see a 2003 Honda Accord or Toyota Camry still cruising down the highway no problem. Love that shit.
I daily a quarter million mile 1997 Prelude. I’d drive my 2012 Civic more but it’s either got a bad starter or a bad alternator right now. I can get it to run with a jump, but I got stuck two and a half hours away from home when I found out it was having issues. Fun times.
If it runs fine after you jump it, it might just be a shot battery. If the alternator was bad, it’d probably die pretty quick even once running, especially if you load the car by like turning the lights on and the fan and the radio.
I already replaced the battery. I thought it was the battery because that battery was last swapped in 2016. It got me home after getting it running. I just drove straight 2½ hours. But 20 minutes after getting it back, it wouldn’t start again without a jump. So I lean toward the starter being the issue. Which will involve getting under the car and removing an exhaust piece, which I’m not looking forward to. But I want to stick a multimeter on my alternator and be sure it’s sending good voltage before I decide which way to fire the parts cannon again.
Maybe a short somewhere draining the battery when it’s off?
2003? I still see Hondas from like 89 to 95 regularly you literally can’t fucking kill a Honda short of just running it without oil and even then it will make it a few hundred miles before it gives up
My husband’s 2003 Camry is still running. We have to rebuild the right front boot every 4-5 years and the plastic is beginning to dry rot, but other than that it just won’t quit. I think it’s got 180k some miles on it but at this point I’ve quit looking at the odometer because the car is going to outlive both of us.
I’m one of the Camry people! People look the opposite direction when I drive by. Great for committing crimes!

i fuckin love burn notice hell yeah burn notice references
You know spy, a bunch of bitchy little girls.
I just recently sold my 2003 avalon and that car was the best. Never had any problems and still ran extremely well. Comfortable ride too
Comfortable doesn’t even come close to describing it. My parents had a loaner once, and it made me regret buying “just” a Camry when I was Corolla-shopping. That car was a dream.
The Avalon is the Toyota-branded version of the Lexus ES300/ES350 series (Lexus is Toyota’s luxury brand), very nice and very reliable (and fairly unremarkable too, which i kinda dig tbh)
Fancy wheels: nope
But those non-Toyota-BBS-looking rims are still my fav design (tho they don’t look good on any car).
I’ll take it!
Source: I’ve owned a Dodge.
A Dodge? My dad owned an 84 Plymouth and has owned nothing but Toyotas and Nissans since. He would drive the hell out of an Avalon.
I had a
99’'99 Corolla sitting on my drive for the longest time, it wasn’t a looker but it still ran well. I would get strangers knocking on my door asking to buy it.a '99* Corolla
Thank you
My mother had this kind of car. It was miserable to drive, floated around like a boat, actually felt like the front and rear axles were connected on a ball hitch. rusted to shit at 16 years.
In the owners manual, oil is listed as “optional”
Damn that’s pretty awesome if true.
