As you explore your options for a used vehicle, you have a lot of different vehicles to choose from—including various types to consider like a sedan, truck, or SUV. If you have decided that a sedan is the right way to go, that narrows down your options and makes things a lot easier. Once you start looking at used vehicles that you'll find at your premier Toyota dealer near Brattleboro, Faith's Toyota, you'll quickly see that the Toyota Camry is one of the most stunning and sophisticated options out there. We'll admit that as a Toyota dealership, we're a little bit biased about this, but even if we didn't sell these models as new, we would still love what a pre-owned Camry has to offer. So, let's take a look at some of the major reasons why we think this is one of the best options available when looking for a used sedan.
#1 – The Perfect Size and Design
A great used car needs to meet the needs of a wide range of drivers, which is precisely what we see with the Toyota Camry throughout the years. There's a reason the Camry has been in production, uninterrupted, for more than 40 years, which is remarkably rare in the auto industry. Much of that is that it's a reliable and well-made vehicle, but there's also the fact that Toyota understands what drivers want. The Camry began as a compact car that was introduced in 1982, but through numerous generations and redesigns, it grew into the midsize sedan we know and love today. A great midsize car is perfect for a lot of drivers since it gives you a spacious interior, plenty of trunk space, and fits well into most lifestyles. It doesn't hurt that the Camry also looks gorgeous with each design, turning heads as you drive around Brattleboro.
#2 – Plenty of Model Years to Choose From
As we just mentioned, the Camry has been available for more than four decades, which is not only incredibly noteworthy but also helps add to how well it works as a used car. Shopping for a used sedan is all about having a wide range of terrific options to choose from; when you're looking at a car with nine generations under its belt, you have a lot of different vehicles available to you. Of course, you're not going to pick a Camry from the '80s or '90s, but even within the last decade or so, you'll find plenty of variety and terrific cars to choose from. In particular, we're big fans of the seventh generation of the Camry that ran from 2012 through 2017, as well as the eighth generation from 2018 through 2024. Just these two generations alone provides you with more than 10 years of amazing cars to pick from.
#3 – Fantastic Engines and Performance
Any vehicle, no matter what you're interested in, should be fun to drive and get you where you need to go each day. With a sedan, there's a temptation for some companies out there to skimp on performance and outfit their cars with meager engines that provide underwhelming power. Fortunately, Toyota is not such a company and the engines you'll find on a Camry have been chosen to deliver a fantastic driving experience. What's more, Toyota tends to offer numerous powertrains on the Camry each year, which gives you a terrific variety to look for and pick from.
Just looking at the 2018 Camry, for example, which kicked off the eighth generation, Toyota released it with three different engines on offer. This includes a standard 2.0L engine with 203 hp and an eight-speed automatic transmission, as well as a powerful V6 engine with 302 hp for boosted performance. Perhaps most exciting of all, the Camry, for many years now, has had a remarkable hybrid engine available with fantastic fuel efficiency designed to keep you on the road longer when driving around Brattleboro. Having amazing engines like these on offer means you can shop for a used model and find a variety of terrific choices.
#4 – Great Features Inside and Out
As important as performance is, it's just as vital when you shop for a vehicle that you get something you'll enjoy being in each day. This is another area where the Camry comes through because, year after year, Toyota has loaded it up with a variety of terrific features. From comfortable seating inside and climate control systems designed to ensure you and your passengers are comfortable to excellent exterior lighting that helps you and others see the road, the Camry has it all. And since this is a midsize sedan, you can rest assured that you and everyone with you will have plenty of room to stretch out and be comfortable while enjoying the trip to any destination.
#5 – Advanced Safety Tech Even on Used Models
One of the most important things to us, when it comes to any vehicle, is how well it can keep you and your loved ones safe on the road. Toyota seems to agree with us because it has been making remarkably safe vehicles for decades and often comes in at the top of safety scores and rankings year after year. The Camry is no exception to this, and we've seen the Toyota Camry receive high marks—often the highest marks possible—in tests for safety features and technology. The Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance features has been offered for many years, but remarkably, it's been a standard feature on the Camry for a long time. That means you can shop different used Camry models from the last five or six years, and every one of them will have impressive driver assistance technology no matter what trim you're looking at.
#6 – Tremendous Long-Term Reliability
At the end of the day, you need a vehicle that is fun to drive, has the features you want, and will keep you safe on the road while you're behind the wheel. But all of those things mean very little if you can't count on your car to also run beautifully in the years ahead. Toyota has long been a leader in the industry when it comes to long-term reliability and dependability, making vehicles that keep going strong for decades. The Toyota Camry is one of the most dependable cars out there; if treated well and properly maintained, it will keep running for a long time and give you the performance you can count on. There's always some uncertainty with any used model, however, which is why it's so important you shop at a dealership you can trust with great vehicles for you to choose from. That way, you can rest assured that the used car you buy is in good shape and has been well cared for by a previous owner.
The Toyota Camry is Perfect for Brattleboro Drivers
No matter what you're looking for in a used sedan, the Camry is ready to deliver and ensure you have a great time on the road. Whether that means sophisticated style and bold performance or innovative interior tech features and advanced safety—the Camry has it all. And since these cars are well known for lasting a long time, you can shop for a used Camry and know you have a good chance of finding something with many miles left. With so many great model years to choose from, it's easy to get overwhelmed or lost when looking at what's out there; that's why it helps to shop at a dealership that has friendly people ready to help.
