sorry if this is a dumb question but im totally lost. my old car died last week and i really need something reliable to get to my new job by monday. my dad told me to look for a used toyota camry since they run forever, so i was thinking that would be my best bet. i have like 7000 bucks saved up for this, but i honestly have no clue where to look for listings. do people even post these on here or am i supposed to be checking those sketchy facebook pages? im just really anxious about buying a lemon and ending up stranded on the highway. does anyone know where i can actually find some decent active listings?

Honestly, 7k is tight these days since the market is kinda inflated. I had a bad time with some local listings lately, they were all overpriced junk. You might be better off looking for a Honda Accord 2008-2012 2.4L i-VTEC instead. Theyre just as reliable as the Camrys and usually a bit easier to find in decent shape for your budget. Just make sure you get a pre-purchase inspection so you dont end up stranded.

In my experience, dont mess with random forum ads. Check Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist for a Toyota Camry 2007-2011 2.4L within your budget. Those engines are basically bulletproof.

Lol I was literally about to post the same thing. Glad someone else brought it up.
