Default New (to me) Family Sedan!

2007 Toyota Camry XLE - Navigation, Bluetooth, Leather, Woodgrain, 4 Disc CD Changer w/ Aux Input & Satellite XM Ready , Power/Heated Seats, Reclining Rear Seats, Sunroof, Garage Door Opener, 3.5L V6 - 270 hp/250 tq, 6 Speed Automatic Transmission with "Smart Shift", Smart Key, 17" Wheels, 90K miles - Listed @ $13,900 + TTL, walked out for $12,600 + TTL.

The thing looks brand new on the inside, the single previous owner had all service @ the Toyota dealership and I swear he/she only sat in it and never touched anything. There are no marks, scuffs, scratches, or anything on any of the trim on the interior. Thats one of the only reasons we bought it with such high miles, and the fact that its a Toyota, so maintenance shouldn't be a problem at all.



































So, what do ya think? Any tips/tricks/tidbit of information we should know about these cars?

Yea good deal. Buddy has a 96' w/ 150K+ miles and never does a thing, I think oil changes are lucky to go 6K miles. Mom has always had Honda's for the past 20 years. Step Dad has a 2001 Camry and still on original brakes. Had them checked about 15K ago and still had 50% left. I think it'll definitely outlast her interest in the car.

Keep it clean inside or it will start to smell like sweaty *****. Trust me, I am in and out of these things all day. That's why I hate Camry's.

Not too sure I am worried about this one. I used to change oil a few years ago at a Lube Center. We were located by a somewhat nice neighborhood with a lot of Camry's. None of them ever smelt like sweaty ***** unless the owner was just nasty...Got in quite a few of them...
