Hello Mr. Kilmer, I have a 1997 Toyota Camry with over 189,000 miles. It has rust growing in various places, is it worth repairing considering it is my daily driver? I drive about 400 miles a week and change the oil every 5,000 miles. It is originall...
I intend to keep this car for as long as I can, it is a gift from my father.
When you read the "Read this first" section at the top of the main page you must have missed the following part. Your post has been been fixed, but please take note for future reference:
is it worth repairing
No, I wouldn't spend any money on rust. It will win.
Just keep driving it as is, until it is unsafe to do so.
Where I come from, Rust is just another word for Patina. "One man's ceiling is another man's floor."
How bad is the rust? Can you provide photos? Any obvious mechanical problems?
