I believe that's a second gen Camry (early 90s), and it has alloy rims so it's loaded and probably a V6. But then it's a Canadian version and those are slightly different in many cases with options etc.

Nice beater!

Yeah, I was thinking a vintage Nissan.
Toyota was my 2nd guess.

Yes without Fluid Film my 1987 Camry would be in about this state.

Has V6 alloys, 4-cylinder the V6 started being available in 1988. No automatic seatbelts in Canada thankfully.

edit - this is a Cressida from the same era a car I tried to buy and gave up looking.

I did not know that gen went back to 1987, interesting.

I believe the 3rd gen came out in 1992? 3rd gen Camry is probably the best inexpensive, mainstream, high-selling car ever made.

1987-1991 is the generation 2 Camry. This one used to be a 5-speed manual (long story) I did a "reverse" swap to automatic.

Has anyone seen this LX clip? Insanity. I do not think the Denali would be capable of this.

No it isn't, but it can't do stuff an LX can.

LX isn't slow but it ain't fast like Denali is, there are tradeoffs.
