Toyota Corolla 2004: Is my car a lemon?

Toyota Camry 1998: How to sell it?
Answered by Graham Smith · 22 Mar 2019

I would advertise it privately, eBay is one to do that, but there are websites like CarsGuide and AutoTrader as well. The wreckers won’t give you much for it, and I doubt you’d get much at auction.

Both would be improved, but I wouldn’t necessarily think they would be the same. Talk to an off-road suspension specialist for a more definitive opinion.

Answered by Graham Smith · 03 May 2019

What large sedans do you recommend?
Answered by Graham Smith · 05 Apr 2019

When buying a used car no matter the make or model the most important things are condition and service history. Buy the best car you can afford within your budget, one with a full and creditable service history. The Toyota Camry and Mazda6 are good reliable vehicles.

It’s under the bonnet, just behind the left hand headlight.

Toyota HiLux 2014: Fuse problems
Answered by Graham Smith · 05 Apr 2019

I doubt the airbag is on the same fuse as the cruise and horn, so it might be something else, but checking the fuses is a good starting point.
