Positive Review
I have over 112,000 miles on this car and it is as tight and solid as brand new. No major repairs - just regular maintenance - with one exception: passenger power seat failed to move - Toyota dealer quoted $1300 to repair and replace the broken lower seat unit ($700 for part + $600 labor). He was nice enough to give me an online site though, where I found a used part in CA - part was only $50 but shipping (entire seat) was $150. Spent 5-6 hrs myself and fixed it for total of $200. Toyota customer service 800 number was no help due to high mileage - they in fact were quite rude - no help at all. Still over all, Toyota makes a good solid product and I would buy one again. 36-40 mpg means I get 500 miles+ to every 14 gallon tank of fuel - really nice when gas was near $4/gal. I recommend this car.

Critical Review
I recently bought a 2015 Toyota Camry. I am writing this review to make you people aware of few issues/problems that I experienced in this model which could help you decide whether to buy 2015 Camry or not. Firstly, this car has vibrations especially in the wheels between 44 mph through 55 mph, so when you test drive make sure you observe the vibrations at this speed on a smooth road. Secondly, if you still want to go ahead and buy this car make sure to not have Bridgestone tires on it, as these tires magnifies the vibrations. Other than these other performance parameters are good. As per the dealers whom I spoke to get these problems fixed, in the first place they denied the problem (very disappointing). However, after 6 weeks they (dealers, as they had customers with these problems before) accepted that it's a camry design issue which they said could be mitigated by changing tires to Michelin brand, however this would not remove/settle vibrations completely. Wish someone had written about this earlier. Hope this would help you all.

I have a silver 2013 SE. I drove it off the lot on Memorial Day of 2024. I am the 4th owner of this same car. I am also a doordash driver, as well as this car being my temporary home. I am a hard driver I'd say so myself. I bought it with 115k miles on it and it runs for 5000 miles until the next oil change. I'm not mechanic savvy very well but I know most things. I put at least 300 miles a day on this car alone. It does need new O2 censors as well as tires and some little maintenance but too be fair, I've only had to replace the battery, tires, alternator, passenger front brake caliper and the CV Axle (the main work). Last week, I went 10,000 miles without an oil change and it is STILL running. It takes off for a 4 cylinder and I have driven a 2002 Toyota Echo, which was also a 4 cylinder. It outran a 2020 Honda Accord at 75mph, the same night when it was dealing with the transmission not shifting properly. BUT, the TIRES are always the MAIN issue I have. It even has a cracked transmission seal. I highly recommend this car but if you live in an area where it snows, I wouldn't risk it. The SE model specifically has underlying tire problems and it always seems to be the fronts. This thing runs forever though and it has saved my life in many ways. I have only broken down in it twice while parked at work (alternator and battery). Also, never believe the gas gauge when it says you're way below E, you've still got plenty more miles to go. I put black tail lights on my Camry, as well as a black grill (car is light silver). It is very roomy, big space, black interior, deep trunk, the stereo system hits the spot (unfortunately mine is just now starting to go out) and the sunroof is the best feature. I also idle the car for hours with no problem and it's fantastic on gas. It's stuck with the tire pressure light for 2 years now but I found out that it's the computer system, not the tires. This car is a champion. It's got a very low bottom but I have taken it through many different terrain and it is still running as always. It survived 2 feet of snow this February as well. GET YOU A 2013 CAMRY SE.
It has a few dings on outside. Runs good and still gets good gas mileage. One of the best cars I’ve ever owned. It’s dark gray with gray interior.
In August 2025 I purchased a 2012 Toyota Camry with 192,000 miles on it. I bought it thinking it was a safe high mileage vehicle because of the Toyota brand and reputation. I could not have been more wrong. Here it is only 4,000 miles later and the engine is completely shot and needs to be replaced. In speaking with the local dealer apparently these cars have a reputation for their oil burning and failing engines. So much for that great Toyota name and reputation. What a joke. My purpose for this review is to help others avoid the same mistake. Never purchase a Camry and especially stay away from the 2006 - 2012 years. They are infamously terrible. Toyota should be ashamed of this product and pull them from the used car market completely. People are getting scammed.
This has had one owner and maintenance was maintained the whole time we owned. There’s a few door dinks.
it is beautiful mechanically. It’s a excellent car.
I will just like to have a SUV because my age
The car rides excellent mechanically. It’s an excellent condition except for a few small dent the car rides excellent and is an excellent condition
Excellent condition one time accident don’t drive it much or get at my house use the car just for shopping nothing else
Reliable vehicle over multiple years
Overpaid for a car with almost a 100,000 miles
Just don’t press the gas too hard because it’ll zoom!
None
No location for value
Long involved inquiry. Never ending. More questions. Try again. More questions I like the old KBB. Just look up the price. Thank you.
