@@Sonata9405 back in the 80s my brother owned a Cressida it was head and shoulders above any camry, now a well trimmed camry can match a lexus fairly easily at a substantial discount
Camry is front wheel drive, Cressida was rear wheel. Today’s Camry is definitely not a Cressida of modern times. If you follow the evolution of the Cressida you will know full well it spawned the Lexus .
If I didn't have to pay for a surgery and lived closer, I would be buying this. Very nice car. The only Cressida I like more than this vintage style are the 70's models with the round headlights. Love the digital gauges and I would keep that original radio as long as the cassette player still worked. Love this thing.
Wow, back in the eighties the Cressida was the top of the line Toyota!!! This one is a true time capsule, best of all, everything works!!! Thanks Bob for sharing this nice Toyota!!! 👍👍🙂
I had a cressida back in the day and the velour seats and luxury were great..sad though here in california they are not around as all that luxury and items are not reliable unlike other toyota vehicles that still run around today
I had a 1982 Cressida wagon. My wife was the primary driver, but I stole it every chance I had. We put about 300K on it and traded it off only after it was rear-ended for the fourth time and my body guy said he couldn't fix it if it took a fifth hit. We later had an 89 which turned out to be basically the 1990 Lexus. Those were great cars. Thanks for sharing this Bob.
My favorite model is the 1986 year. It was in my opinion the last year Toyota put 100% of everything they had into 1 car. By 1987 they put all that attention into Lexus and we know how well that brand has done. I own 2 Lexus vehicles an 03 with 233,000 mi and a 15 with 97,000 mi. Both are in good running condition. Toyota knows about reliability and mastered the NSA V6 in my opinion.
They must have fixed the head gasket issue for '84 (5M-GE engine). Growing up my parents had two 1982 Cressidas and both blew head gaskets at 160,000 miles like clockwork (5-ME engine).
My mom had the exact same car, just with tan leather. Then went to an Acura Legend coupe and three Lexus (GS300, GS400, finally LS430) before she died in 2004. The Cressida was way ahead of its time with the Star Wars digital dash and eager Supra V6
Hi Bob, yet another JDM Gem I see? That old Toyota would be worth a small fortune here in the UK, its one of those that would have to go into a private collection, it's just to nice to be spoilt as a daily driver!!!
I'm the fella he bought it from out of Colorado. I absolutely loved my cressida unfortunately due to moving situations I no longer had a garage for it and then my daily needed a new transmission. Was an absolute pleasure working with Bob. Miss the car its so amazing to be able to see it still.
@euroasianbob9268 I'm really glad someone is enjoying it man! I'm just glad you posted this video! Brings back alot of memories with :) spent alot of time at the reservoir here in Pueblo with that car. Glad you were able to give someone the opportunity to have it.
Not sure who this car would be targeted for, but, I see in the comments there are many people with fond memories of it. Still, I can't imagine this would be a draw for other enthusiasts. Even so, Bob, I hope you can sell it well! Love the content!
Toyota and other Japanese manufacturers and )probably lots of US manufacturers) test their interior longevity by leaving cars sitting in the California sun.
