    Everyone has an opinion, but getting one from a man who repairs the actual vehicle is valuable. Someone below referenced Scotty Kilmer. I love Scotty but when it comes to Toyotas, you are the MAN.

    To summarize Camry buying guide (2015-2017) - [ ] Check for front timing cover oil leak - [ ] Transmission fluid changes every 60k? - [ ] Check for excessive rock chips on hood possible rust spots(due to shape of hood) - [ ] Chassis- if squeaky (especially in cold) front sway bar bushings need to be replaced - [ ] Radio - see if dealership does updates to solve any radio problems

    These cars are the most common taxis in my city, and often go 300-400K city miles on the original engine! Speaks to their quality.
  • My daughter bought a '16 XLE Camry Hybrid brand new. She was apprehensive at first of all the complexity of a hybrid. So far, 70K trouble-free miles. She really enjoys the vehicle and turned her into a Toyota fan.

    The 17 SE has been the one I was pretty sure I was going to get through my research. So thanks for the great info!
  • @jaydee506
    blessings from all us whom are on tight budget looking to buy used...you truly are a good honest mechanic
  • I have a 2016 Hybrid Camry with 164k miles. Some of the problems you described I have. The leaking front timing cover and the bushings when cold. Thanks!!! I watch your videos all the time. Very helpful!

    That was an awesome review, I'm very happy to hear things about the 2017 Toyota Camry. I have been looking for a Toyota Camry and I found one that doesn't have very many miles on it. Of course now it's 5 years old. But I greatly appreciate everything you had to say. It makes me feel like I will be getting a better vehicle. I just need something reliable that has a good air conditioner in it. Something reliable that I can travel in.
  • Just bought a 2015 XLE V6 and I’m already in love with Toyota all over again. Went over to Mercedes Benz for a little while but now I remember why my first car was a Toyota
  • @Eunbisarang2
    Thank you so much. I bought 17 Camry after watching this video. No regret.
  • I've been a Camry fan since my first 2004 one. It ran great with several problems we didn't know about until the car just couldn't take it anymore. I'm glad I found this because I was apprehensive about buying a 2017, but I'm at ease knowing that they're solid

    Good to hear we bought a 2017 Camry LE, 2.5 years ago.
  • @sspadair1675
    Currently looking for that year range of Camry, and came across your video. Thanks for the info! And not too late.
  • @rickey6098
    I recently came from a 1992 LE V6 171k mi to a 2015 SE 4cyl with 27k mi.. I really appreciate all the information you provide 👍
  • @msmith53
    I have a 2004 Toyota Avalon best car that I have EVER owned! Smooth, room, and quiet to drive! Love it!
  • @AlexBAlixir98
    Ahmed. I rewatched this one as tomorrow I am taking a family member to look at a 2015 se. Thanks for the tips as to what to look for.

    I just test drove a '15 camry hybrid with 56k miles, XLE model. We are buying it from a personal owner for $3k below market value, a nice find in white pearl with black leather interior. This vehicle compares and even exceeds in features my Benz E350.

    i bought a 2016 camry hybrid with 72,000 miles 2 years ago. i'm a full time rideshare driver and it now has 188,000 miles. mechanically speaking, the car has been flawless.
