1986 Toyota Camry Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1986 Toyota Camry remained unchanged from the previous model year because a complete redesign was in the works for the 1987 model. The 1986 Camry was available as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback.
The 1986 Toyota Camry came with a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter, 95-horsepower engine and was available in either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual. Fuel economy is about 30 mpg. Both the 1986 Toyota Camry sedan and the hatchback were available in LE and DLX trim levels.
By 1986, Toyota has firmly established the Camry as a good, solid, reliable car. Even today, drivers gush about their 1986 Camrys, which are still chugging along almost as good as they did 20 years ago.

I bought mine on Jan 8th 2010 with 147k for $700! Drove it
from Vancouver to Whistler and back the night i bought it
with no maint, very reliable. Auto trans seems to still be
good. It's pretty pimped out for a Toyota, very impressed.
Gas mileage is ok, not as good as Corolla/Tercel/Civic but
good enough. Doesn't appear to leak any oil. It has pretty
good power once you get the revs up. Trunk had water in it
when I bought it, but doesn't seem to leak that much now.
Rear suspension is riding low but still works. There's a bit of
rust around driver's side wheel wells but not much
elsewhere. Everything (except cruise control so far) still
works and has been a sweet ride so far. Here's to many miles
of fun... Jan 21, 2010

Quick acceleration for a 4 cylinder. Handling is easy and the ride is smooth. I like how the sunroof automatically closes upon locking the doors. Older model so major maintenance is required. Still a good looking car. Good gas mileage (4 cylinder). Quality interior materials; nothing feels cheap.May 12, 2009

I recently bought this used car at only 102,165 miles on the odometer, I know unbelievable!!!. I had a corolla before and it ran like the energizer bunny, every positive thing said about the Toyota is true to a fault. I will buy a repair manual for it - for light-weight maintenance. In this day of $4.00/gal (yes it is down for now). This sure beats any gas guzzler.

This was my first car and it was the best car of its kind back then. I retired the car in 2002 with over 400K miles on it, great performance for 4 cylinder, very low maintenance, same transmission throughout, very few problems over the years in repairs. Paint job was great still was shiny and minimal scratches to the paint when I donated the car to a shelter...yes it was still operating. Loved it!Oct 24, 2008

The car has a good history, except when my Mom owned it and I took care of those issues other than cosmetic.
The performance I rated was based on what it is worth, age, etc. Compared to a Corvette it sucks.
It still can do 65 mph in 2nd gear.
The car still runs after 233k. The car is older than I am! I can afford to get a newer car, but I am know it won't be as reliable, and on a newer Toyota I won't know its history.
The appearance isn't great, but I don't care.

Had the car 3 months.Has only 148,000 mile on it. The previous owner put new belts, wires, and hoses. Apparently he forgot to change the timing belt. lol. I did, and the water pump. Now it runs as great as it did before and I hope to get alot more miles out of it, because it is a pleasure to drive.Sep 19, 2007

Thermostat Placement
Got a new thermostat for my Camry, but cannot figure out where to place it. Looks like housing is on lower hose, but could only find reference to upper hose placement. Would have to remove distributor for that kind of placement. Help!!!!

1986 Toyota Camry: no brake lights
1986 Camry. Does not have brake lights. "rear lights" indicator does not light up until I apply brake. Pulled stop (brake) light switch and it seems to have continuity. Bridged connector with a wire which should have caused brake lights to stay on. Stop light fuse is good. What else can I check?
