Overview
The 1988 Toyota Camry came with a new engine option: a 2.5-liter V6 with 153 horsepower and double-overhead cams (DOHC). The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine was still available as well. An all-wheel drive option ("All Trac") was available with the manual transmission for the first time in the 1988 Toyota Camry, too.
Like the 1987 Camry, the '88 edition was available as a four-door station wagon or sedan. The 1988 Camry was available in several trims, including the base model, the DLX, the DLX V6, the DLX All Trac, the LE, the LE V6, and the LE All Trac. The 1988 Camry gets between 20 and 30 mpg for fuel economy, depending on the engine.
Camry enthusiasts still extol the virtues of their 1988 Camrys and advise that with regular maintenance and care, a Camry should last for hundreds of thousands of miles.

This car has had only 3 Owners: Toyota has been a reliable car. My thoughts on the performance - acceleration, braking, handling: acceleration: it is fair Power mode gives you a boost. Breaking: Its a heavy car it doesn't stop on a dime. Handling: Steering is tight and responsive Build Quality : Maintained by original owner Appearance: Has some "idiot" dents on the exterior the interior is in great condition. No tears, However missing some covers for the lamps and it came with some odd cover one if its clips are broke. Cost of Ownership To be updated later. Fun Factor depends on ones view of fun lol probably not good for racing but if you like long drives and going places

These Camrys are great cars! I used to think 'American cars all the way' but these Toyotas have changed my mind as I have owned three Toyotas, including two gen 2 Camrys. The fuel economy is quite good for doing mostly city driving, excellent for freeway driving as well with cruise control. One complaint I have is the lack of uphill power, even keeping it down in second it struggles up large hills. Manual transmission is easy to drive, great for a first time learner. These cars will run forever, my previous camry had 234,000 miles when it got totalled and this one has almost 170,000 miles and it runs like new aside from a little burning oil from the valve seals.

purchased as a work car I am so suprised how well this car runs yes it is old and knocked about making it ugly but it's very reliable and economical. only repairs;brakes and a windscreen(my fault) not a fast take off but holds it's own over 60kmph. Strong body means not much damage in minor accidents. Seems to use a fair amount of oil and clutch fluid. Excellent first car and an easy car to learn to drive in.
