Hello house, kindly need your advice on the possible problems associated with registered Camry big daddy. I intend getting one soon. Should I go for a pencil lite or drop lite? Thanks.

Armed robbers want it.
Its boring, weak, mechanics can't fix it properly.

As long as you don't mess with the cooling system(fan, thermostat) you will have nothing but oil change maintenance.
Its up to you

Its a Toyota cheesy

If you are looking for a problem you will find it

Your question seems contradicting. Tyning lite or drop light are not 2003 nor Big Daddy.
Tyning 97-99 and drop 00-01 have every thing in common except the front and rear lite. You can never go wrong with any of them. only stabilizer linkage and weak shocks. Good cars. drop lite has extra 2 horsepower and dual hydrolic Bonnet support.
I dont know much about 03 peculiarities.

Big daddy has no problem if u maintain it well. I didn't like it before but when I saw my friend enjoying it for more than 2 years while I struggle wit my honda & its tie rods then I went for it. Its a very good & dependable car.

Big daddy as is fondly called is dependable so long as you maintain it well. I have been using mine for 2 years now, though it gave me some issues like overheating, transmission problems also with the gear but having resolved them by a good and trusted mechanic, it delivers on your expectation.

When does it happen? When tranny is in 'D', 'R' or 'N' and stationary? They could all have different interpretations.

When in D or R ot vibrates more biut when in N or P d vibration is reduced althogh. U can still feel it but a little. When I switch on d AC it reduces my RPM from 750 to like 500 and den after some time it goes back to 750 but the shaking continues. I have vleaned throttle body cleaned IACV and check d engine mounts all r working perfecttly. Pls help. Also when the fan starts to roll d vibration is noticed too but a lil bit

speed001: Same here o

Sounds like big for nothing is the same as big daddy, lol. I hate that name.
I have been using one for almost two years now; apart from regular oil, break pad, tire, wiper blades changes, I've never heard any major issues.

Monthly average maintenance cost will depend on your movement na. Mileage you acquire monthly, the terrains you drive on. These will tell on how frequent you change your oil, pads and even possibly your suspensions.

Otherwise it is a very smooth and comfortable car to drive.

I recently bought the camry big for nothing as well. Like other posters here, i experience the vibrations as well when i put on the ac and the car is stationery. However, when i put the gear in N the vibration stops. Before it started, my mechanic advised me to replace my belt adjuster cos it was getting bad. Somehow i feel that is the cause. It doesn't disturb the car though. It is a very reliable car though needs to be handled with care cos of its size. If u punish it like a corolla, you will constantly be in the garage changing the shocks and pads. On a positive note, it has got the best air conditioning system i have ever experienced. lol. People constantly beg me to turn it off after forming for a while. grin.
