Why buyers choose this model

Toyota Camry is the best-selling sedan in its segment. Compared to its predecessor, the new model has received a complete redesign. Every piece of sheet metal, every element of the platform, suspension and all internal components are different. Only a few engines and gearboxes migrated from the V40. The Japanese sedan has never been a trendsetter. The new Toyota Camry design is definitely skewed towards pragmatism. Sharp edges and sharp angles are the result of the struggle to improve aerodynamics. The undeniable strengths of the Camry are comfort, roominess, reliability, price/quality ratio and resale value. For the most part, the V50 has maintained parity. It has become much more pleasant to move on, thanks to optimized handling and good equipment. Due to the more powerful 4-cylinder engine, the dynamics also increased. The Camry is driving better than ever, and the top-of-the-line V6 will cater to the needs of those who want a fast but relatively inexpensive sedan. Toyota Camry keeps the brand and safety. Standard equipment included pillows for the driver and passenger, side and window pillows (curtains) of the front and rear passengers. Despite the slight loss in weight, the body became even stronger. In 2012, the sedan, according to the results of American crash tests, NHTSA received the highest safety mark “Top Safety Pick”.

What buyers check

Typical problems and malfunctions

Toyota cars have always been associated with reliability and acceptable quality. The predecessor, the Camry V40, once again supported the axiom with facts. Not far behind and the new Camry, but without a number of incidents was not enough. Perhaps the most serious flaw concerns automatic transmissions, working in tandem with a 2.5-liter atmospheric. After 40-60 thousand km there are complaints of tremors during switching, and after 60-100 thousand km some owners had to go to the service for the repair of automatic transmission. Toyota has acknowledged the defect, which also affected the RAV4 and Lexus ES250. Lucky, if the warranty is not over, then the officials will replace the hydraulic transformer at the expense of the manufacturer. Otherwise, the repair will fall on the shoulders of the owner, for which he will need from 30 to 60 thousand rubles. In addition to problems with the hydraulic transformer, there is also premature wear of other elements of the box. According to the mechanics, the reason is banal – the lack of recommendations of the manufacturer to update the transmission fluid. But, at the same time, there are many examples when the sedan has traveled more than 200,000 km without changing the oil in the box and without repairing it. However, to avoid sudden troubles, it is better to update the fluid in the automatic transmission once every 60,000 km. Another unpleasant surprise is spot corrosion, and swelling of paint on the hood and trunk lid. Alas, the paintwork here, as in any other modern car, is quite thin and does not differ in particular strength. But the owner will be pleased with unusually hardy suspensions. In rare cases, some had to replace faulty shock absorbers (leak or knock appeared).

Challenges of selling privately

Toyota Camry is very much in line with tradition. I hope that the problems with the machine will not become widespread. Only then can we still say that Toyota is reliable.

  • Typical problems and malfunctions: some owners had to go to the service for automatic transmission repair.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.
