Purchased 2011 Camry LE

[dja4260]

My father purchased 2011 Camry LE with the 4 cylinder. Any known issues with this car? Motor/trans?

I've not driven it yet so I don't have any opinions just yet.

Thanks!

It's Tan, isn't it, lol.

Seem to be great cars!

The cartridge filter requires a special tool to remove. Otherwise my parent's seems like a nice enough car.

Got pics? Swap that grill out for a black one. Looks nice like that.,

Yep, It's unfortunately tan.

He paid 17k + tax, title, etc.

We think it's ugly but he felt it was the best that he could afford in that segment. I feel that the APR(4.5%) is a bit high but he couldn't wait for me to get home from vacation to make a purchase.

I had one. I found in the Sandy Beach Metallic; loved that color. Great engine in a great car. It just didn't fit our transportation needs. It'll likely run 200,000 miles with minimal problems.

I DO think the Camry is one of the best mid-sizers. I don't personally care for the Fusion or Accord due to interior design and I don't have enough experience with the Hyundai or Nissan offerings to pull the trigger on either one of them.

The 2 best selling longest lasting cars on the road.
Also the most boring ugliest looking.
The k-cars of japan ,built right here in america.
Box tops on wheels.

100000-200000 trouble free miles is the norm . Gas mileage of the camry is lower than expected. No real serious issues.

For $17k, can't beat that!

Ahem, I believe we refer to that color as...

Beige

Isn't every Toyota that color?

My boss was shocked when he found ours was blue... Although the interior is certainly beige!

Great price btw. Wish we had gotten that... Wife really likes hers, me I think the seats aren't that great. But she gets 32ish mpg it seems and is happy--and that's what counts.

I thought from your post this was a new car, why buy a used one at this price when NEW ones are the same price?

 

[hattaresguy]

$17k for a used one? You should have spent a few grand more and just gotten a new one, they probably would have financed it cheaper too!

I'm confused, where did the original poster mention that this was a used car? I don't see him mentioning it anywhere in this thread.

Because it isn't anywhere in this thread - it's in the one where he discovers the oil pan was repaired with JB Weld.

Yikes!

There must be some sort of "cooling off period" on this sale, where he can get a refund on this purchase, based on this new scary information!!

Congrats . That's a good deal . Please keep us informed of driving experience and gas mileage . We like the tan , call us bland

That's crazy, a JB Weld patch-up on a 2011....?
