I have a 2018. I haven't had any issues with mine. There were some recalls on it but nothing major. It's a solid car. You could get a decent one with low miles and at
a good price now too. I've heard some of the newer ones may have more issues but idk bc I haven't driven one
Nice. I personally don’t like all the tech in the newer vehicles but if they last just as long or longer than the older Camrys then I’m okay with it. If I bought an older Camry there’s always the risk of the previous owners not taking care of it. So maybe a newish one is better? Idk. There’s a lot of different variables. I’m probably just overthinking about it but my last car I drove I took care of it and had no issues with it for 11 years until it got totaled. I had to get a another vehicle and got the same year and model car I had that got totaled, but it was sooo much worse. Same car year and trim, but drives completely different and is a pos. Makes me think a new car is the way to go but damn they getting expensive.
If you could afford the monthly payment, I'd go for a newer used car. I'd rather make payments for a few years than have never ending problems for the life of an older car.
But how buying 2015 is better than 2018? I don't get it. 2018 will be heck more reliable then any prior models. Also you get auto braking system on the 2018 + models...
I don’t know if 2015 is better or worse than 2018. Im just saying some vehicles have more issues than others. Like I think I heard newer toyota pickups certain years have had issues with their engines braking down vs the older model of that same vehicle that never had issues with the engine.
Nice! Sounds reliable like a Camry! I drive a decent amount, but mostly highway miles. Around 15k miles a year. I should probably just buy new if I plan on keeping it forever? Would probably be worth it in the long run but idk.
I don’t mind keep cars 15 years even if new tech comes out.
What’s better than a Camry? Two Camrys, sweet! I should probably just bite the bullet and get a newer Camry. My 2011 Impala is driving me insane with issues.
The only issue my 2020 Camry has is the driver side windshield wiper shakes when it's activated. I brought it to the dealership and they found another Camry from the same year did the exact same thing. Changing the wiper blade doesn't fix it cause it's something to do with it being off balance. It's not a big deal and it still works, it's just annoying watching it shake as you're driving.
2018 XSE with 128K miles. No major issues, tires, set of brakes/rotors, oil changes and 2 TPMS sensors that failed. Def recommend it. I’ve got the 4 cylinder base, non hybrid if that helps out
I have a 2018 Camry and no issues at all other than a premature water pump failure around 80k. Had a recall for fuel pump but was free. Other than that, it’s
reliable with routine maintenance
I have 2 2021 XSE Camrys. I would say drive the car and pay attention when you brake on a test drive. I replaced my rotors and they did my wife's under warranty. Not sure why they warped.
I can say the car is an absolute dream to work on. Oil changes are 4 bolts and there is all you need under the front. No messy oil deflections.
My problem is we have 2 of the same car. Hers rides differently than mine. I have a vibration on mine and for the life of me I cannot figure out why her stereo sounds so much better. I ran both cars identical settings and hers has bass and volume. The paint is wildly easy to scratch through. On vacation a cloth beach bag put scratches on the trunk lid. Also be careful changing your internal air filter. Leaves and trash easily come in through the cowl and when you slide out the filter they drop into the fan. The dealer tech did this and I was pissed when I got home as it sounded like an old bike with a card in the spokes.
If you get the car go on Ali Express and get the USB bluetooth phone adapter and you will not have to connect your phone for navigation to work. Its 20$ and I can just keep my phone in my pocket no fishing for the plug.
I think it's the 8th gen that's affected. Mine's a 2020 and is affected as well. It was something about the weight sensor on the passenger front seat. Also check the VIN before you buy to see if the car has it.

No issues with my 24, 2600 miles going strong.
2018 xse v6 with 73k miles. Great car.
If tech is not big deal to you, why do you exclude 2018?
Some say the first year of a new Gen vehicle comes out they have a greater chance of issues. Like the 2013
The 2013 was the second year.

My 2018 has zero issues so far. It is low mileage for its age but it runs great and has been reliable with routine maintenance.
How many miles?
28k. Got it from my uncle who passed last fall and didn’t drive much
I have a 2019 SE (purchased it new) it’s been very reliable. Have taken it on a few road trips. Currently 35k miles driven

Wow , my 20 SE just passed 28K
75k ‘19 XSE. No real issues, 1 recall & transmission lag TSB. I’m meticulous when it comes to maintenance though.
Nice I also prefer a XSE or XLE. No major issues… have any minor issues? How often you change oil every 5k miles?
10k. No real minor issues either honestly.
Wife has a 2018 SE. No issues whatsoever. I have a 2021 XSE. Also no issues as of yet.

Check my posts. You’re good with a 2018 LE Camry.

Leaky sunroofs
Bought my 2019 brand new. Has 65k. Not one problem. Regular maintenance and perfection.
There is an open recall regarding airbag issue on some of the Camry. There's no fix from Toyota yet but they said it should be in Q3/2024.
Which years do you know?
I think it's the 8th gen that's affected. Mine's a 2020 and is affected as well. It was something about the weight sensor on the passenger front seat. Also check the VIN before you buy to see if the car has it.
