Toyota Camry Overheating – Do I Have a Blown Head Gasket?

I have a 1994 Toyota Camry that started overheating about a week after I bought it. It only does this at idle speeds. I had a pressure system check done, a new thermostat put in, and a new cooling fan installed. It stopped overheating for a couple of weeks, but then started doing it again.

Help – I Need To Buy a New Car

According to my records, every year I have taken the car into the shop for repair work everything from a broken cassette deck, twice actually, to a broken water pump, new muffler and resonator, new heater core, new struts, shocks, new wheel bearing, new tie rod and CV joint, new timing belt, new spark plugs and wires, two new ignition coils, master cylinder work, etc. etc. etc. Is this normal maintenance on a car or does this sound a bit excessive to you? This is my question.
