Personally at that price, and the fact that it's now a 3 year old vehicle, and the risk that there is a problem....I'd probably pass and buy new. That car has done a LOT of sitting around for a 3 year old vehicle. You'd get full warranty on new vehicle. |

Replying to: yanivsme (Sep 13, 2008 12:07 am) I don't agree with the extended warranty advice because Toyota can't fox the problem at this point. Also many of the Trans problems happen only after cold starts or just occasionally. There is a good chance you won't experience the problem at the dealership and then realize the jerks and rpm flares in the trans a week later. There is a reason somebody traded that car in? Probably Trans. DO NOT TRUST THE DEALER WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE TRANS PROBLEM OR THAT IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IN THE EARLIER PRODUCTION CARS. I would advise against it. |

Replying to: yanivsme (Sep 13, 2008 12:07 am) I own a 2007 Camry LE (6cyl, 6 speed) and I've had the transmission replaced twice already and the computer once. The last time was last weekend and I'm not sure it's OK. I've been back and forth to the dealer 8 times (I thought it was 6, then I found the other 2 receipts). My husband is nagging me to see the manager of the dealership and tell him I want another car or my money back. Here in NY we've got the lemon law, but the problem needs to be unresolved. They'll probably claim that they fixed it. Anyway, I don't trust this car or the transmission. Even though there are Camrys that are OK, I'd look at another vehicle if I were you. Try a Honda Accord. I owned one years ago and loved it. Also--the Avalon (even though it's a Toyota) was always a good car. My '97 is still running with over 160,000 miles on it. Good luck!!! --Sue |

I really want to say thanks for all the feedback. WOW!! you guys and gals(sue) were very helpful. Its very hard to not buy this car. The price, the color, the options and the miles were perfect. Funny thing is I called the dealer this morning and first thing he said was "I knew you would call me, are you ready to buy your camry?". I asked him about the transmission issues and if hes familiar with it? I told him that ive been reading reviews and he told me that because the camry is for older folks that they want an extremley smooth ride and that the V6 was made for the rav4 so when its in the camry, its so stong that is flares, "its more like an athlete". He said that reviews from consumers are usually much older people, and they are used to lincolns etc. Im 30 years old and ive been around the block way to many times!! I could tell there were things he didnt want to talk about. We were very nice to them and we are not difficult customers!! He ended the conversation with "it looks like this is not the car for you". I have never in my life heard that from a car salesman. Just wanted to say thank you again to everybody here who replied. I hope I can help people in the future. Off to the Honda dealership. Thanks, Yaniv. |

Replying to: yanivsme (Sep 13, 2008 9:54 am) I can understand why you decided to turn down this vehicle. ----- I owned a 2003 four cylinder Honda Accord prior to purchasing this Camry. The Honda also had a 7 year / 100,000 mile Honda extended warranty. The Accord was very good up until 50,000 miles. Between 50,000 miles & 90,000 miles, the Honda Extended Warranty paid for $3,300.00 worth of repairs. (AC Compressor, Motor Mounts, Window Regulator, Radio, Two Cat Converters----etc). This vehicle was serviced every 3,000 miles by the Honda dealer. I did not purchase another Accord because the driver's seat was killing my back! You might want to look at a Chevrolet Impala. That was one of my choices on my "short list," when I purchased the Camry. I did not get the Impala because I could not get the trim package that I wanted! Best regards and lot's pf luck with your search. Dwayne
