I paid 7k for my Toyota Camry 2009 LE 2.4L and this has always been one of my dream cars and I love her she's a awesome car

My 2009 Camry now has 425, 000km on it and the AC has just stopped (getting it fixed next week) it has been the best car I have ever owned, I was thinking of buying a brand new car but after owning a Camry for the last 5 years, I think I'll drive it until it stops, then buy another second hand Camry

You are absolutely my Toyota guru. I hope your free (to me) education pays off for you because I have saved thousands with your education. I am watching for you to hit 1M subscribers and I think it will happen soon and I hope you keep going!

My Camry was built in Japan in 2010, and it has over 250K miles now. Never had a coolant or oil leak. Still has the original water pump, radiator, starter, alternator, transmission etc etc etc. It finally burnt out a headlight ... This car is mostly original aside from brakes, struts, tie rod ends and battery. That's it. Regular oil changes do the trick. It runs like new, 33mpg with the 2.5 and 6 speed. I Love my Camry !❤

I bought mine 8 years ago with 92k miles. Now it has 169k. A month after the purchase, the radiator went out, the dealer wanted 1200 for the Job, that was the first DIY job I did on this car. I found out about the Oil consumption and took the to the dealer a year later and they also replace the Dashboard. I also had to replace the alternator because the bearing went out, but this was a really easy job on this car. Overall I'm really happy with it, plan to drive it as long as it holds.

Very informative. Your current video quality is night and day from 2 years ago. Keep going man.

Mine is 2008 and have 150K MILES and is still running great

I bought 4cylinder '09 before I saw your videos on the oil problem... the car history is three owners, first a rental company (ick -- but maybe more likely they got the warranty service?) for one year, then two owners in an areas with no snow and less than 10" annual rainfall... In my 3 weeks with it I haven't smelled oil, the last oil change was 2000 miles ago, and it is filled above fill line.

I've only identified one scary issue with it -- twice right after I started it (starter sounds great, engine sounds great whether idle or doing 60) the engine suddenly turned off (no stall type gasp, just off) and then it would refuse to start (even though 1. the engine was warm from running 15-20 minutes prior and 2. it sounded good trying to start) until I let it rest for a couple minutes -- coil, distributor, plug? (injector or filter issue would cause idle problems, right? doesn't have those. after first stall changed air filter)

The paint is in horrible shape from front bumper over top and down through the back bumper, but body only has a few door ding dents (no accidents in its history) and paint on sides is like new...I'm wondering if I should do like a bad home blend/paint job to protect it from rust (of which it has almost none on entire body that I can find...but I've always heard rust is the toyota disease), and then have a professional clear coat put on? Just leave it the way it is? Or just have it clear coated? I only wonder in terms of making sure this thing lasts another 15 years.

Thanks. I've got 3 candidates I'm shopping, this vid has helped me understand Camry better.

I’m going to be honest your video made me a subscriber! The way you broke it down made me rethink my purchase of a Camry and to do my home work on the used vehicle to budget right. I work out of my car I need something reliable engine wise I work with my K9 in NYC. And long hrs at that car some times left to idle because I don’t have a booth. I have a 2016 Chevy equinox that keep giving the P0172 diagnostic code.

Thank you! Very informative video! These Camrys are super easy to work on! I'm by no means a mechanic, i mean used to fix my cars when i was younger because i couldn't afford a mechanic but it was a great learning experience. Currently my Camry just hit 108, 000 miles, i noticed it did burn a little bit of oil between oil changes. so i switched to Liqui Moly 0W-20, replaced the EGR valve, sparkplugs, coils and all the air filters. It was originally my mother inlaw's car she bought new. I'm not sure if the engine was rebuilt or not.

Just bought 2007 Camry XLE V6 with 102, 000km. Luckily, the previous owner maintained well, no rust. Paid 7500CAD. I hope it lasts until 300k km.

[Raider]

We had a 94 or 95 two door Camry with 230k miles. Everything worked fine .The sunroof was perfect.Miss that car.

[Loyal-eyeq]

Thanks for all the great info, I’m currently searching for a Camry V6, which will be my Sons first car and your videos are really helping me get through the weeds of used Camry hunting!

My 2009 Camry had issues drinking oil for a long time, got it from my grandfather who passed and never did any of the recalls. I started putting synthetic 10w-30 oil in it and made a massive difference no more topping off oil all the time. Just broke 100k miles, clear coat is completely gone deciding if I should paint it but runs perfect.

I bought an 09 Camry at the end of Jan 2020. It had 95k and I paid $4500. I use it to deliver auto parts and I put 300 miles a day on my car. It ends up being around 80k every year. My first year with the Camry, other than a battery, I spent exactly what I would have spent if the car had been brand new when I started. Tires, Brakes, oil changes and filters. Now at 181k, I went to tune it up last weekend and found oil on the coils, which means I need a valve cover gasket. The car runs great and I'm expecting to get a minimum of 300k before I sell it. As far as burning oil, yes, it does burn a little bit of oil. Currently, it's about a quart every 3000 miles. I'm expecting it to get worse as time goes on, but at this point, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. It hasn't affected how the car runs at

I have a 2007 Camry LE, bought it in 2014 with 65.000km now after 11 years and 250.000km the car is still mint ! No major problems! The best car ever! She consumes oil. I changed it, instead of 5W20 I use now 5W30. No white smoke when I start the car in the morning.

[joshiopaz]

My 2007 Camry SE had the oil consumption issue and the dealer fixed it for free. It was close to 100K miles so I got water pump changed and new spark plugs while they rebuilt the engine. I also got my dashboard replaced (for free by dealer) since it melted every summer and was a safety hazard. My Camry is running great with 176K miles on it. I got a new paint job, new headlights. Get my oil changed every 5k miles and keep up with small maintenance issues. Takes a little work but it's much better than having a car payment. People are surprised my car is 2007. especially with the seat covers and new dashboard.
