[profuse007]

This is what I used to make my decision about purchasing an 07 or 08.

Figure for every complaint there are like 10,000 people who have the same problem.

wow the 07 has alot of trans problems?? Problem withthat site it does show v6 or i4

Wouldn't get a used 07, 08 and 09 are better - '10+ is the refreshed front and rear so you should try to used '10...

was looking at 07 cause of price.

[joshuaboston]

I think there are less problems reported with the 08 then the 07, 09 and 10.

When I was looking I did not see a big price difference between the 07 & 08s. Definatley stay away from the 07s... from what I have read.

I just purchsed mine from craigslist... 08 SE manual (5sp) with 35Kmiles for $13K.

IIRC, back in early 2006 when the 07 V6 came out, it had tranny issues surfaced pretty quick, <1000miles. Toyota did have the TSB and the issue was corrected not too long after that.

I haven't heard any V6 tranny issue since then.

Thats cheap. more expensive here. The only think i can thik of is the V6 had ecu problems for shifting maybe thats why the numbers are high?

i thought the 4cyl trans on these was bullet proof no matter on the year?

[joshuaboston]

The Camry's from 92,93,94 and 96 were bullet proof. My mom still drives her 92 Camry and LOVES IT (more then me…lol).

Now you have to search the web for problems to understand what's going on.

I still have my old car, 2000 Celica with 218Kmiles and need to sell it; the point is that I was not in an immediate rush to buy a car. But when I was searching for a car, I made a car list. The Camry was not on the top. But I made my list and had my notes. Each car I like I would wiki it and I would search for problems of that make and model. I knew I wanted 4 doors and GREAT gas mileage. I was pretty sure I would buy a corolla S, (5 speed manual, fogs, sunroof and REALLY good on gas... that's all I really want). I was checking out craigslist (cars.com and auto trader) every other day and finally I saw this deal and I just pulled the plug. Even though I got this car for $12,995.00, if the person tried to trade it in to a dealership for cash he would have been offered like $10,500.00 (dealerships are stealerships). The person who I purchased the car from got a job which came with a company truck. The bad part was I could not bargain my price lower and AFTER I bought it I noticed a few VERY MINOR issues... which I could definitely live with.
