What you mean they have to bill you for another 1/2 hour?

 

It can take 30 minutes or so to get it to register a new level after you add oil.

 

This is for a regular oil change?

 

Insanity. lol
How convenient they have to bill for extra 1/2 hr cuz it takes that long for oil level to register.

 

Saw a nice Cressida the other day at Toyota

 

For sale by any chance?

 

No. just on display inside. MR2, Cressida, and the Celica-Supra

 

Thats for adding ANY oil. My car had to run for over 15 minutes before it registered a level after adding 1/2 a quart.

So I drove 474 miles yesterday. Had to drive to Washington, PA outside Pittsburgh to meet my cousin and see my aunt who fell and broke her hip Saturday. She had to have emergency surgery, she's 78 and in poor health, but she did fine.

I ALMOST drove the van to save miles on the Mercedes, but I'm sure glad I didn't. 3.5 hours there, 4 hours sitting around a hospital and 3.5 hours back, the S560 was a wonderful companion. I grouse about what this car costs, but in the totality it really is worth the money. Poured rain the whole way down, confidently left the distronic at 80-85. just a fabulous highway car. I think I had like 40 hot stone back massages lol

 

Nice find LexsCTJill.
I believe that was the "top of the line" model for toyota.

Maybe they had a more loaded model but I'm thinking this was the most fully loaded.

 

Nope, you've got it right. Until the Mirai (which only sort of counts), the Cressida was the one and only full-size RWD sedan that was ever sold in the US under the Toyota badge, and was significantly higher-end and more luxurious than anything else in the lineup. It's actually what inspired the creation of the LS400--even though the models aren't related--and the Lexus brand as a whole. A few years after Lexus launched, the 4th generation Cressida ended its run in the US, and was replaced by the FWD Avalon.

 

My uncle had a Cressida that was identical to that one. My other uncle then later had a 1989 Cressida which was the newer Lexus looking design.

 

Check out this Chevy dealer from the late 60s:

 

That is a nice dealer. 60 years ago.


I am not quite sure where this model was on the trim level.


I saw these two Supra models last week at a car show

 

I think fully loaded versions had leather— that looks like it has cloth.

 

This is common knowledge, but those Cressidas lasted FOREVER. 400k mile cars easy.

Speaking of old Toyotas I saw a really nice 90s Celica yesterday with a bumper sticker something like "you can't take away my Celica". Tires shined up and power antenna working fine.
