Purchased the camry from reyes auto group in lakewood, nj. Took the vehicle back to pa where I live and 2 mechanics showed me the rusted out under carriage of vehicle and stated that it will not pass the pa safety inspection and would cost over $2000 to fix! Gas started leaking from tank because of rusted condition.
