placo1 I have noticed the same thing with my Camry but with a lot more milage. My car is reaching the 10 year old mark and I can see the ageing process speeding up. The driveline can not be faulted with 135k on it. Fires right up when covered in snow or at 0 degrees. Good power and smooth(for a four cylinder) The suspension and body seem to be starting to show there age.
The interior looks fine still, and it drives ok. The parts are to expensive to bring it back up to new spec. The rear shocks alone cost $820 installed, front probably the same. Parts for these cars get real expensive fast. It's cheper to buy a newer one.
