Camry Hybrid is a very reliable hybrid car. You have to know for hybrid, there are parts that have it's wear and tear like the battery, inverter and so on. Battery is without a doubt something that need to be changed depending on usage. Price is getting lower and more workshops specializing in hybrids now.

If you are getting used, make absolutely sure to ask when was the battery last changed. If it's just changed recently then you are good to go. I am not sure if Camry Hybrids also have 8 years unlimited mileage for it's battery warranty. Call Toyota SC and ask for service records and mileage. They will not have problem giving you the information.

Update: BTW, please still do your due diligence when buying used car. If the car was not properly maintained, it can still end up being a bad purchase.

Not an expert. Camry hybrid does really have a nice price used. Its tempting.

But generally, i think for hybrid, the battery is not the biggest issue. Especially toyota with the reliability and prices going down. At least you know the price and expectancy.

What i know is other parts are also different in a hybrid and replacing them cost a bomb. Like the aircon parts, etc.

Else, really tempting sad.gif

If you are planning to get those from West Malaysia, be careful as lots of them are used as Genting Taxi. Make sure to check the car's background.

Never trust used car dealers even carsome. Always get a friend who knows about cars or pomen along to help check.
