18,000 miles/year - is that high for a 2003 Camry?

wrote

This is *NOT* true: I4 engines also had the oil sludge problem.

However, the problems were for the V6 until 2002 and the I4 until

2001, so *this* Camry doesn't have the problem.

The mfgrs take a hit when they do this, they have to conform with the stated MY's safety and emissions regs. They still must think it's worthwhile though.

Did you actually think that those numbers really mean anything?

Seriously, do you understand what a contract is? A lease is simply a long-term rental agreement between the lessee and a lessor (usually a finance company). It would be perfectly OK for the contract to require you to send two free-range chickens to the lessor with your payment, if that's what you both agreed at signing.

Using your logic, if I had a lease that specified 8k or 24k a year (they exist!), 8k or 24k would be "normal". I'll bet the next purchaser of the car might not agree.

"Normal" mileage is the average mileage of all similar registered vehicles, regardless of how they were paid for.

Think "liability", as well.

Try to find the true owner of many rental aircraft!

since just about everyone in the auto business uses their numbers, I think that they mean something. Do you have better numbers, booby?

Can't that be controlled by running a can of engine flush (kerosene) through the engine before changing the oil?

Get it? I was responding to your routine allegation that I4 Camrys are underpowered. They are not. Got any more questions?

Oh, by the way, the new Camry V6 gets better fuel economy than the Impala. You can look it up.

Hmmm..... It is probably a good idea to remember that outfit if you ever "forget" your mother/wife/girlfriend's birthday or anniversary!

So Impala is going to out-sell Camry, now? LOL

Maybe GM is trying to corner the market on torque-steering crap with bad interiors. LOL
