Toyota Cressida Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

FROM

$3,850

The Toyota Cresida was sold in Australia from 1977 to 1993 first as a small to mid sized car in coupe, sedan and wagon body styles and then evolving into a larger car which was eventually replaced by the Avalon.

Starting off as the Corona Mark II, the car was renamed Cressida - the name is thought to be taken from a character in William Shakepeare’s Trollius and Cressida set in the Trojan Wars.

Alternatively Shakespeare could have been writing about a Toyota with excellent ride and handling. Those high comfort and refinement levels of the Cressida, led to the beginnings of Lexus and could be considered the foundations of the LS400.

The line-up currently starts at $3,850 for the Cressida GLX and ranges through to $6,270 for the range-topping Cressida Grande.

Toyota Cressida FAQs

Booming Cressida

Booming noises like you describe are often caused by the exhaust, so check the exhaust system to make sure all the mounts are in place and in good condition. Compare the exhausts on both of your cars to identify any differences that might contribute to the noise.

Grande plan

THE trade would probably value the vehicle about $6000. You might get $7000 if you are patient enough to wait for the right buyer to come along. Though the car has done only 50,000km, whereas a similar car driven regularly would have done almost 200,000km, it is still 15 years old, and time takes its toll. There is every chance the buyer may have to spend money on it to get it into top running order. Having said that, the Cressida really was a quality car, and anyone who appreciates just how good they were would probably jump at the chance to buy it. The best way to sell it is through the classifieds.

Beware of old cars

THE Cressida is a sturdy, well-built and reliable car with few problems. But it's now an old car and old cars are more prone to break down, no matter how good they were when new. Most Cressidas will show more than 200,000km on the odo, so you're taking on an old car in the last stages of its useable life. It's like adopting an old dog. It might be a nice thing to do, but you have to be prepared for the vet bills that inevitably come with an old dog. If you want to buy a Cressida, shop for a car that has done few kilometres and been serviced regularly.
