7 Reasons a Used Toyota Camry Is a Great Buy

If you’re on the hunt for a used vehicle, you might not even know where to begin your search. Shopping for a new vehicle narrows things down to current models, but once you’ve decided to purchase a used vehicle, a whole new world of possibilities opens up. If you’re willing to look around and do your research, you could find high-quality models from older generations and even discontinued ones.

However, with so many options, it can be difficult to know what a high-quality used vehicle looks like. As an experienced and knowledgeable used Toyota dealership, we regularly help drivers find a pre-owned model that still has a lot of value, even though it’s been around the block. Our mission is to ensure everyone finds a pre-owned model that they can count on and that will have all the features they’re after—and that’s why we regularly point our customers in the direction of a used Camry.

The Camry has been part of the Toyota lineup since 1983, meaning it’s celebrating 40 years in production. A vehicle has to be pretty popular for a manufacturer to keep it around for so long, and the Camry certainly has been; in fact, it’s been the best-selling midsize sedan in America for several years in a row. Drivers just can’t get enough of this terrific vehicle. If you’ve ever driven one, you probably know why, but if you’re new to this beloved sedan, we’d be thrilled to introduce you to it. Here are seven reasons why a used Camry is a savvy purchase…

#1) Timeless Look

The Camry’s look is classic. While some manufacturers play with new and risky designs from one year to the next, Toyota sticks to a winning formula; it’s always had clean lines and an exterior that’s sleek and upscale without looking unrelatable or pretentious. When you see a Camry, you probably even feel comfort since its look has remained so consistent throughout the years—and you can feel confident, too, that any used Camry you buy is still in style today and will continue to be for a long time.

#2) The Car That Keeps Going

The Camry is a vehicle that almost seems to have nine lives. You’ve heard of models that just last for years and years (and usually they, too, are Toyotas), and they don’t all have the same body style or belong to the same class. Among these is the Camry, a sedan that boasts a longevity greater than most others. In fact, many drivers have reported that their Camry lasted up to 300,000 miles before requiring any major repairs; that means that when you buy a used Camry with even 100,000 miles on it, it probably still has an entire life left to live—just for you.

#3) Great Fuel Economy

The Camry has excellent fuel economy. It comes in many different powertrains, each boasting different power levels, and yet they all manage to have excellent fuel economy on the highway and city streets. We highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who drives on a variety of road types or who has a long commute because you’ll notice how long you can go without fueling up.

Then there’s the fact that you can even get a pre-owned hybrid Camry today for an excellent price and see some serious fuel savings. If you’re looking for a vehicle that lets you cut down on costly gas stops, we can’t recommend the Camry enough. We were thrilled to see Toyota debut the hybrid Camry, delivering amazing fuel efficiency to our customers who already loved this great midsize sedan.

#4) Comfort & Space

The Camry might be a midsize sedan, but it has what feels like a full-size cabin. When we take drivers with their friends or family members for test drives in the Camry, we regularly hear satisfied surprise at how spacious the interior feels; even rear-seat passengers say they have tons of room to spread out.

Furthermore, many drivers remark on how large the Camry’s trunk is. If you’re looking for a trunk that’s ready for road trips or wholesale grocery runs—but you don’t want to go the SUV route—then we recommend checking out the Camry; its trunk is deceptively large. What’s more is that you can even fold down the rear seats of the Camry, which is a feature you typically see in crossovers and SUVs, so you can create a cavernous cargo area when you need it.

#5) Great Standard Infotainment

If you snag a 2020 or newer Camry, you’ll get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard across all trims. That means you can use your favorite navigation app, music streaming services, podcast apps, and more while you’re driving. The Entune 3.0 standard infotainment system on the 2020 model is easy to use and boasts intuitive controls; subsequent upgrades have only made your Camry’s touchscreen bigger, better, and more responsive.

#6) Terrific Standard Safety Features

You’ll also enjoy solid standard safety features in the Camry, helping you be the best driver you can be and reducing the chances of accidents. Driver assistance features you’ll get standard include the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Automatic High Beams. These will help you prevent crashes, stay in your lane, and warn you when you’re drifting or distracted. Also, with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, you can set your desired speed and distance between you and the car in front of you and let your Camry automatically maintain those preferences.

#7) It Has Several Personalities

The Camry also has several trims to choose from, each one appealing to a different kind of driver. The 2020 model gets a total of six trims. Drivers who want something simple but solid can get the base-level L. Moving up the trim line from there, interior materials become a bit more upscale, performance features gain improvements, and more advanced driver assistance features become available. Whether you’re after the best comfort and convenience features, inspired performance, or the best price possible, our team can show you which trim is right for your needs.
