Bought a Bought High-Mileage 2013 Camry – What Now?

Topic starter

Hey Scotty, I bought a 2013 Camry with 185k miles for $6800(they wanted 7500). Previous owners had 2 yrs and drove ~35k/yr but kept up with maintenance. Runs well with new brakes and tires I recently purchased— how long should it last and what maintenance should I expect to make on it?

There is no way to tell.

That model is in the age range when Camrys were experiencing shudder due to faulty transmission torque converters. It's possible this car has already had the issue addressed but of course that's something that should have been looked into before purchase.

See the maintenance section of the FAQ.


@chucktobias mine doesn’t have the shudder thankfully!


Given the mileage the issue was probably already dealt with but it would have been nice to confirm that before purchase.
