Hatterasguy, there are much better deals than $820 per axle for shocks for a 93 Camry or any Camry. Dealer list is something like $130 per strut. $500 for labor per axle is outrageous.

Some random observations:

- Hondas hold their value much better than MBs do.

- the typical Japanese car will last longer on no maintenance than an MB.

- you can't get a Japanese car with good leather.

- the plastic in better Japanese cars fades more evenly than the plastic in MBs. Even the 140 can look like a color chart after a few years under the sun.
