I have two old cars that I've been thinking about dailying just because they might as well be put to use before being put out to pasture. Which one would you daily, of the two cars?
1) '06 Camry, 182k miles, last UOA showed 85ppm iron and 27ppm aluminum. 15,000 miles on Mobil 1. Mechanical problems: front bumper is falling off and attached by zip ties; serpentine belt tensioner is squealing and has been squealing for the last 40k miles. Other than that, no mechanical issues, not even a CEL.
2) '99 Sienna, 160k miles, still on original timing belt. Mechanical problems: apparently none. No noises or anything.
The goal is just to get me around town, to/from work, doing some errands, etc. Which would be less likely to leave me stranded somewhere? Even though I'll be staying in town and not too far from home, I'd rather not be broken down on the side of the road in 100 degree summer heat!
