Used Car Buying -- Toyota Camry ( Bend over -no grease ) ? What years and motors are to avoid ?? Redesigned for 2007, the mid-size Toyota Camry has been Americas bestselling automobile for virtually the entire decade (we Canadians favour the Honda Civic). While its overall length was unchanged compared to the outgoing model, the Camry grew a little wider and benefited from a five-cm longer wheelbase. Available in four-cylinder and V6 models, the Camry has always brought near-luxury levels of refinement to the masses, and for good reason: it forms the basis for the Lexus ES 350. In essence, Camry buyers get a little bit of Lexus class for their dough. What they didnt bargain for in the Kentucky-built Toyota are headaches. Owners report the automatic transmission hesitating then lurching ahead, making merging with traffic difficult. Reflashes, new solenoids and complete transmission replacements are not uncommon. Other quality lapses include prematurely worn wheel bearings, leaky struts, faulty entertainment units, high oil consumption, interior rattles and paint delamination. A surprising synopsis of a bestseller.
