I bought mine new. In 15 years these are the major issues I had with the car:
Around 140,000 miles multiple light bulbs, front, back, license plate etc. went bad and its alternator burnt out (repair cost $150)
At 200,000 engine valve gasket was replaced (repair cost $300)
At 208,000 miles starter had to be changed (repair cost $400)
I took meticulous notes of repairs and maintenance. The total cost including changing various oils and filters, batteries, tires, rotations, light bulbs, and even inspections and registration across 4 states in 15 years was around $10,300. Majority of maintenance was done by full-priced mechanics.
Granted it never was an exciting car, could have had better handling and power, but rarely did it strand me (once, when starter went bad)…

This has been a great car. The only problems I have had were a catalytic convertor burn out that was covered by warranty, and the speaker covers in the back rotted in the sun. Minor issues. Comfortabe, reliable care…

A little the worse for wear, like me, but I love my Camry. Little if any maintenance in all these years; oil change, etc. One owner who is now an old non-smoking lady driving it around a little town for 24 years.
Could use some cosmetic work..again like me...never used the sun roof, non-smokers only..a few rescued animals here and there. Not ready to sell. Just wanted to recommend this Brand and model to anyone looking. It has served me well.…
