2015-2017 Toyota Camry Buying guide

[@gmjsimmons]

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.

[@anhsang9525]

Junk Toyotas lol

[@gmjsimmons]

A friend of mine is a Chippewa Indian. He is well acquainted with rough outdoor life and vehicles that get you to those places. His reason for buying a Toyota truck was: "in videos from the middle east the trucks with 50Cals mounted in the bed and bursting through sand dunes, climbing mountains, and charging into firefights are all Toyotas--very old Toyotas. If they're good enough for a middle eastern terrorist, it's good enough for me. LOL, I love that guy.

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

As an additional note, the cold start rattle, and everything related to it. He's done videos on it, i did not know about cold start rattle until after my purchase.

Huge help thank you AMD! My son dad and I went to pick out a reliable used car for my son. First we drove a 2010 Prius 1 real nice yet financing was difficult due to the age. So we then drove a 2016 Camry XLE 4 cylinder. Will check good for any oil weeping on the timing chain area like you suggested. The car only had 65,000 miles which is pretty darn good considering it’s 2024. It runs like a champ and has leather heated seats tan interior, black exterior. No vibrations or funny noises. The oil was very clean when I checked. I’ll tell him to have the tranny fluid changed soon like you suggested too. Love the car and I believe, barring any accidents, that he will have the car a long time. He’s the son that keeps the interior spotless and drives a car easy. Love all your videos!!!

I get 45mpg on the freeway and about 48-50 city I love this car! It's very reliable I change the oil every 3k and all other fluids including the inverter every 30k including spark plugs...I also changed the PCV valve but not cuz it leaked or failed but just as preventative maintenance since the original one was inside the car 5years when I took it out it rattled perfectly but since I already had a new OEM valve I just replaced it anyway...I do have a brand new OEM Toyota thermostat/ inverter pump/ electric water pump inside their boxes just chilling but the ones in the car are still functioning just fine so I'll hold on to them until I need to replace them... around 70k I read that Toyota has weak water pumps so I got nervous and bought one just so I have it ready to replace but I'm at 100k and so far its still good I guess 30k fluid changes have been great for this car so I'm happy with my maintenance intervals and really love this car!

[@DavidScarpaci]

@@SecurityZone1 i replaced a pcv valve as well, also as a preventative measure. haven't replaced anything else though. haven't had any problem with any pumps or hoses. your car will definitely make it to 200k and beyond, considering your maintenance habits. 300k care free miles is probably inevitable as well. you'll probably get tired of holding on to all those parts you bought, since you'll never have to use them 😂 *** the car now has 201,000 miles and still no issues!

I own the 2017 Camry SE. Bought it new for $19k and change, out the door during end of model year sale. The car is bulletproof and drives like silk. The 4cyl is excellent, the trans is perfect, love the paddle shifters. I'm not a fan of Toyota's sport shift logic, but you get used to it. 2018+ Camrys look great, but, transmission issues have been problematic for many. Although somewhat boring and lacking tech, the 2017 Camry is a fantastic driving machine that is simply reliable. In contrast, we have a 22 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited. Also a nice vehicle but the 1.6T engine is pretty crappy. Paid 2x more for the Hyundai and got ½ the ride of the Camry. Two different vehicles, but if my life depended on a cross-country trip, guess which one I take?

I have the 2015 LE, runs like a dream, not one problem 47K. Comfortable, dependable and economical - a winner. I was thinking of trading it in on a 22 Camry Hybrid. The trade in price is tempting but after watching this video AMD made a point about battery life in hybrid if it is not driven much, which would be my case. So he changed my mind. Then I thought about the 22 gas Camry. Well these have direct injection, which I think is inferior long term to port injection. So I am sticking with my 2015.

@@subaruamazon not if they have all of the service records. If there’s no verifiable service, I would be a little leery. That’s the case for any vehicle though. If there’s verifiable service done to the vehicle it shouldn’t be a problem with that mileage. Just be sure to check a pre-purchase inspection done on the vehicle by a reputable mechanic. I would avoid the 4-cyl model. Many times I wish that I had the V6 because of needing extra power at times to pass on two-lane roads or extra power to get up and go in critical situations. The 4-cyl just doesn’t provide that power when needed. 😢 All in all, 2016 should be great! Mine has almost 168k on it and I religiously change the oil every 5k myself and I have only had to replace the alternator at 121k and the battery at 130k. It’s been a fantastically reliable car!

We do have the radio issue but it’s not a big deal and doesn’t happen all the time. My only complaint with it is that we have a rattle somewhere in the back that we haven’t been able to find. Really makes me want a Japanese made Toyota 😂. We’re in the market for a new Toyota. It’s most likely going to be a RAV4 hybrid or a Venza.

In July I bought a 2015 Camry XSE with the v6 motor. So far no mechanical problems but the moon roof has a loud creaking sound somewhere in the headliner and makes the noise while going over bumps or uneven surfaces. There is also a rattling noise coming from the back windshield while driving at higher speeds for longer periods of time. Besides those and the unresponsiveness of the touch screen radio the car is great.

Long story short even tho there is a fix and toyota acknowledges it, since that only thing it causes is "noise" they dont cover anything that just is a "noise problem" smh. The dealer even tried calling twice to toyota and they dont want to cover it . They quote me $1600 to fix it out of my pocket

Toyota has issued a bulletin about this kind of issue for some Camry models . They send me to a bodyshop and they found the problem. Was a bracket loose. 5 h work 490 cad (by the way,I’m from Canada)cover by the Toyota warranty. My car had 78000 km and out of the warranty but Toyota fixed for free . I suggest you to go back to dealership and ask to fix.

Hey AMD, you are arguably the best and most informed person out there, surely very informative video. I bought a 2017 SE Hybrid, and since then have watched most of your hybrid videos, and cant thank you enough for your valuable inputs. I had 2 questions 1. As advised by you, I checked the air vent for battery on driver side rear door, I dont think it was ever cleaned in first 3 years of first lease period, so I did remove the seat and cleaned the outside portion of the filer and the surrounding area, however I wasnt able to reach the filter which is behind the seat itself, how frequently that needs to be cleaned/changed ? 2. how frequently invertor coolant needs to be changed for the battery. Many thanks for your informative videos. Keep up the great work.

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So the filter behind the vent on your Camry requires the seat bolster to come out to get cleaned or replaced. I’m trying to find a similar model to film with in the Chicago area. So you’d want to clean that filter or replace it when it starts showing signs of getting clogged. On the inverter coolant first replacement is at 100k miles or 5 years then every 50k or 5 years afterwards.

@@gummo1997x Sounds like you got yourself a great deal. From my past experience, Toyota will not disappoint you. It will run forever as long as you do basic maintenance which is very cheap to do.

[@XxChuyoxX]

My 2017 is doing great with 70k miles. I do let it warm up a little bit so the transmission doesn't shift slowly. I heard you mention before this could add additional wear. Didn't trust the newer 8 speed transmission in the newer Camry's so opted for this model. The only thing I would ever trade it in for would be a 4 runner.

@@DavidNgo86 Oil changes every 5k Trans fluid/filter every 50k Coolant 60k New spark plugs 120k New brake fluid 60k Mass air flow/throttle body cleaning every 30k Keep clean air filter and fresh battery. These simple things and not driving like an idiot will make this car reliable for years.

[@boweryhester]

just bought a 2017 SE 4 cyl with 36k miles, absolutely mint. paid$20k. nothing else compared with this other than something new for maybe another 6 or 9k. my problem is i rely on seeing what i'm about to steer into and new cars, or even a few years newer than this 17, have reduced visibility out of rear window and over shoulder to check the blind spot. i've rented plenty of new cars and have yet to learn to fully believe in driver assist tech. i like the backup cam ok but still check to see there are no surprises. this model year is the end of the old camry and after that they tried to make it sexier. just call me old school.

Hey I know my comment is two years too late but, I’m looking to buy a 2015 Camry LE model that’s got 270,000km’s on it. The dealership is charging $13,000 but discounted it to $11,200. I think after watching this video I’m gonna go down and make an offer on what could be my first and best first car! It’s in great condition visually and interior is clean and slightly unused (one owner who was an old man). Thank you for the tips and things to look for I’ve wrote it down and will take this info and my list back to the dealer and make an offer!

[@thinkb4uspeak643]

Do you have an update, is everything completely normal now or did changing the transmission fluid have it acting strange still?

[@yuriygo]

Finally, found the experienced Toyota Camry mechanic! Your channel is just simply great!!! And I have a question: What is the automatic transmission fluid change TIME (not milage) interval? I did not find anything in the owner manual, either on the internet. I have very low mileage on my 2015 Toyota Camry XLE V6 (just 28000 miles), and I use the time intervals for maintenance instead of the mileage intervals. I asked the service adviser at the dealership and he said ATF has to be changed every 5 years if the time interval is used. But you said Toyota does not recommend the ATF change at all (again, nothing in the owner's service manual).

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I would change the transmission fluid every 60k or in your case every 6 years.

My uncle checked with the assistant service mgr he's friends with at different Toyota dealer he uses and same thing, since there isn't a code they are saying that Toyota won't authorize payment under warranty. I really like the car but this issue really irratates me. The vibration makes it feel like you are driving over rough pavement even on a newly paved road. Anyway I enjoy your channel and have learned a lot. Not much you can do without the car LOL. Thanks for the reply anyway.

[@Mr99Burns]

I had to rebuild the transmission at 149,000 miles on my 2017 Camry LE. I changed the struts and shocks all around twice. Don’t buy cheap go OEM ok KYB. Otherwise my 17’ Camry has been a work horse. Funny story I purchased the car with only 3k miles for $15,000 in 2017 and now it’s worth $11000 with 149k miles on the clock.

My mother purchased a 2015 Hybrid in 2020 and the hybrid battery gauge was and still is showing a consistent average of -2 bars (I can't remember maybe out of 10). It stays the same unless driven in the mountains when it regenerates more on longer descents. I think there's been very little to no hybrid battery degradation and yes I've kept up the maintenance on the filter for the battery.

Dear Car care nut, I have replaced tires from Bridgstone to Michelin Cross Climate 2 on Camry 2017 and the car handles much better with less rolling resistance, is more fun to drive, and has better gas milage. I would like to ask you if you could make a video about tires for Toyota cars as this might help a lot of people to upgrade their ride. King Regards

[@yuriygo]

Thank you for answering my question regarding the ATF change "TIME" interval. I have also found your advice to flash the coolant every 5 years, and I have an additional question: What is the TIME (and milage) interval to change the brake fluid? My other car is a 2013 Nissan Altima and at the dealership, they advised me to change the brake fluid every 2 years. What about the 2015 Toyota Camry? I think, 2015 Toyota Camry has an electric power steering, so I do not ask the question regarding the power steering fluid change.

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi! On the brake fluid it’s not a time interval. The fluid needs to be tested for moisture content. Normally around 3 years is when I see moisture content high in Toyota’s. So if a test is not possible I would wait at least 3 years before changing it

[@yuriygo]

@@TheCarCareNut Thank you, sir! As always, your answer is clear and 100% comprehensive!

[@calvinmitchell6381]

I just take the fluid down in the master cylinder with a turkey baster and replace with new every time I change the oil. Have did that for many decades to keep it fresh. Never had a problem in all the vehicles I have owned.
