Best Toyota Camry Years to Buy Used

Used Toyota Camry Quick Facts

  • The sweet spot for used Camry cars is actually two model-year groups: 2002-2006 and 2012-2017.
  • The Toyota Camry first went on sale in 1982 as a 1983 model.
  • For more than 20 years, the Camry has been America’s best-selling passenger car.
  • Among midsize cars, the Camry retains the most value at five years.

The Camry has been a prominent part of Toyota’s lineup for more than 40 years. It hasn’t always been the flashiest or most exciting vehicle, but it has long offered an appealing combination of value, reliability, safety, and fuel economy. Now in its ninth generation, the Camry is hybrid-only. That combination helped Toyota sell more than 316,000 Camry sedans in 2025.

While it’s hard to go wrong with a used Camry, the car’s design and available features have changed considerably by generation. With so many generations and trims to choose from, finding the best Camry for your needs can be challenging. We’re here to help. This overview breaks down the specifications and notable features of the latest Camry generations, helping you identify the right car for your needs.

What Is the Best Model-Year Used Camry?

There aren’t many Camry model years we’d actively avoid, but two periods stand out most: 2002-2006 and 2012-2017. Models from these years have strong reputations for reliability, and they’re old enough to be reasonably priced. That said, you’ll need a 2018 or newer Camry for Apple CarPlay and a 2020 or newer model for Android Auto.

Toyota Camry by Generation: Which Should You Buy?

The Camry has a long history. Here, we highlight the changes that differentiate each recent generation to help you choose a used example.

Ninth Generation (2025-Present)

The 2025 Toyota Camry is a hybrid-only midsize sedan offered in four trims: LE, SE, XLE, and XSE. Every 2025 Camry pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system for 225 net horsepower with front-wheel drive or 232 net horsepower with electronic on-demand all-wheel drive, all through an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. Front-drive LE models are manufacturer-estimated at up to 53 mpg city, 50 mpg highway, and 51 mpg combined. All 2025 Camry trims share a 111.2-inch wheelbase, measure 193.5 inches long and 72.4 inches wide, seat five, and offer 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space. This table compares the hybrid powertrain, electric motors and battery, drivetrain, fuel economy, chassis, exterior and interior dimensions, wheels and tires, and weights across every 2025 Camry LE, SE, XLE, and XSE trim.

The Older Years

Is the Toyota Camry a Good Car?

The Camry is an easy car to recommend. It’s not the most exciting vehicle on the road, but Toyota has offered powerful V6 engine options, and the Camry’s styling has become sportier and more aggressive in recent years. Although some model years have had notable issues, most Camry generations offer strong reliability, and Toyota does a good job of packaging desirable features into its trim levels. 

Toyota has sold millions of cars over the years, so used-car shoppers have plenty of choices. Parts are generally very easy to find and more affordable than those for lower-volume models. The Camry is also a leader in value retention, holding its pricing better than many competitors in its segment. 

The Camry has earned top safety ratings for many years. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has given the car a Top Safety Pick+ or Top Safety Pick designation every year since 2012, a strong record of safety that can provide peace of mind. 

How Much Is a Used Toyota Camry?

There are currently more than 18,000 used examples nationwide on Autotrader. Prices range from $575 on the low end to more than $52,000 for a nearly new 2026 certified pre-owned Camry. While the lowest prices might seem tempting, the cheapest examples often have extremely high mileage, some have unrepaired collision damage, or undiagnosed mechanical problems. 

How Long Does a Camry Last?

With proper care, it’s not uncommon for a Camry to reach 200,000 miles or more. Achieving that kind of mileage requires regular maintenance, including oil and filter changes, tire rotations, and other services recommended by the manufacturer. Toyota backs its hybrid models with a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty on the electric drivetrain components.

What Are the Most Reliable Years for a Toyota Camry?

Despite a known transmission issue experienced by some owners, we like the fifth-generation Camry models from 2002 to 2006 because they are remarkably affordable. When carefully maintained, these models can run for hundreds of thousands of miles. They are also comfortable and fairly well-equipped for their age.

What Are the Worst Years for the Toyota Camry?

We’re not sure there’s a Camry model year to avoid entirely. If forced to make such a pick, we’d probably steer clear of sixth-generation models, particularly those from 2007-2009. These were the Camry’s most troublesome years.

Should You Buy a Used Toyota Camry?

If you’re in the market for a reliable, value-oriented sedan, the answer is yes. Few cars match the Camry for its combination of reliability, safety features, comfort, and fuel economy. However, as with any used car, we recommend getting an independent pre-purchase inspection. Spending a little on a thorough inspection could save you thousands in unexpected repairs down the road.

  1. I have a used 1994 Toyota Camry with over 340,000 the odometer does not work. I’ve been running it over two years and it still runs good and gets me to where I need to go. Am very happy with my Toyota.
