I love watching how Car Care Nut has evolved in his videos. He was a bit stiff and nervous in the beginning as he is seen here. Later he becomes an absolute pro in front of the camera.

I just have to add this. Yesterday my son and I went to purchase a used 2014 Camry LE. After a long test ride, putting it up on the lift to inspect the underneath, pulling out the spare tire and jack the very last thing we did was try to pair the phone with the radio. Guess what, the radio wouldn't pair, there was an issue with the touchscreen! I asked the salesman to get us a price on a new radio. $1000 installed OUCH!!! In our negotiation the dealer will install a new radio at no charge for us! All that to say without watching this video and remembering to try to pair the phone, we would have been out $1000. So again a VERY BIG THANK YOU!!! You helped save us $1000. Blessings to you!

I want to replace my 2004 Dodge Stratus for something affordable but as reliable as possible and the 2012-2014 Camry has been my best option so far, so watching your video has been really helpful because I wouldn't have imagined it could have so many issues. Thank you so much!

This video guided me to buy a 7 year old camry 8 months back, and the same went to his servce center for oil change last week, got positive feedback of the car from this expert.

Thank you for your service, may God bless you and keep you blessings to many...

Thank tou for another well produced video/ There are a lot of good looking 2012 Camrys out there. Your video helps us verify which ones we should buy. Thanks again for exposing the problems and advising how we should care for this car.

My 2014 Camry has the torque converter shuttle problem! Ugh, thank you for this information! Love your content!

[danielyepezjr.]

Blessings to you as well. Thanks for the information. Bought my 2012 4cyl Camry in 2017 with 80k miles and now has 150k miles. Its been really great. Did transmission fluid change at 100k at dealer. Oil changes every 5000 miles. Recently changed battery and original alternator and the brakes. Did a 1600 mile trip and averaged 39 per gal hwy. Been blessed with no fluid or exhaust leaks. Only issue is the driver door lock actuator, which will be $500 to replace. No rush to replace can lock with key. Thanks again for info.

I own a 2013 Camry. Thank you for the tips. I have 108, 000km on it and will be getting the transmission fluid changed at the dealership within the next 6 months.

You need to do video of top 5 used Toyota cars you would buy under $10k.

Great video, thank you so much! I'm about to go look at a 2012 Camry for my daughter to drive. With this information and some other I got, I feel I am armed with enough information to know if I am buying the right car.

[marknalina]

All my family drives and owns a toyota. My wife had her 2012 camry se for awhile and theres no problem other than water pump. I changed that already. I own a 2016 tacoma 4x4 sr5 and i daily it. No problem its all how you drive and maintaining it.

Just bought a 2014 Camry from a Toyota dealer, didn't notice shudder until i got home. A very firm conversation with the dealer and they covered the TC recall. runs fine now, despite the window for the recall closing a few weeks ago they still honored it.

[karimsadredini]

Bravo 👏👏👏. Very informative video. You've outlined many hidden problematic areas to look after, when purchasing a used Camry 2012-14 . Thanks man.
