2015 Toyota Camry — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $11,000–$16,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.

Kestrel Take

The used-car reference standard — the 2.5L four and 6-speed automatic are as close to unkillable as modern cars get, and the Camry is roomy, comfortable, and cheap to run. Not exciting, but it will out-last almost anything at the price. Buy the maintained one; even a high-mile Camry usually has plenty left.
