I'm in the market for a used Toyota and was wondering what is generally

to drive it til the wheels fall off).
Thanks!

I have 97 Camry LE and the check engine light has come on. I think its
more than improperly closed gas tank because light keeps coming on and
off. This started after I had the oil changed. Does anyone know if that
can make a difference? (For example if some cap is not properly ...

Coming up on the 60k maintenance, and I notice the manual calls for
inspection of a bunch of stuff, including engine valves.  The rest of
the stuff -- brake lines, fuel lines & connections, drive shaft boot,
etc. -- seems to be relatively simple or at least easily accessed
