I've been looking for a car. It's really difficult to find any private party sellers. The only decent car I have found is a 2010 camry. It has 130,000 miles. It has the 2.5L In-Line 2AR-FE engine with an automatic transmission. Everything seems good. He said it does burn some oil between changes. Is that normal? Do you have any suggestions of thing I should look at when I see it tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.
An engine in good condition will not burn a significant amount of oil. Have a mechanic give the car a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
Will do sir. Thank you
I would pass on it if it’s already burning oil. The oil consumption impacting the 2AZ-FE engines affected up to the 2011 model year.

He said this one has the 2.5L 2AR-FE engine. I haven't heard of those being particularly prone to oil burning but if this one has been poorly maintained over the last 13 years it certainly could be an oil burner.
I stand corrected - Ignore my post.
