As general, this is a good book to learn the basic design of Toyota-Cressida. It covers the Van and Sedan.

If this book is intended to sell worldwide, You should consider the Engine type and model. I have 1987 Cressida with engine type of 1G-E and 1998 cc, and it does not cover. I find hard to find the similarities.

I believe this book only applicable to US and Canada only. So, buyer/reader out side those country should contact the publisher or the author first.

The best part of details are in the Drive Train, Suspension,Brakes and Emission control. Most helpful picture displayed for Van, Only drawing mostly provided for Sedan.

I think the Author should deeper in the sections of 'Engine and Engine Overhaul', Chasis electrical and cabin electrical, especially for indicators for instrument.

Thank you.

I bought this manual with a first project in mind: changing the timing belt. The only coverage of that operation is in the context of tearing down the whole front end of the engine. I have no idea how much stuff I really have to remove if all I want to do is change the timing belt. I mean, any somewhat experienced back yard mechanic can figure out how to change the air filter or an upper radiator hose, thank you, but where a manual really proves its worth is on an operation like ... a timing belt change.

I can't comment on any other content because I haven't gotten there yet, but it's very disappointing to see such poor coverage of such an essential topic.

This is a well illustrated, and detailed manual for most repairs on my 1987 Toyota Van. It helps to have a guide book when just trying to identify needed parts for my twenty-three year old dinosaur. The price was right, and the delivery was fast. Thanks!
