Should I buy a Camry

Hey Scotty, Love your videos, I watch them everyday during my breaks at work! I have a 2007 Toyota camry hybrid with 123,000 miles. I bought it 2021 from a relative for $6000 adn 112,000 miles. The situation is it was at a backyard because they have other vehicles and it was turned on a few times during the week. Of course the battery had problems and what my relative used to do is chage the cells that were bad. Since i got it we did it twice (change the cells) but the third time i just was fed up with it because i have a new job and don't have time to do all that, and wanted to buy another car however the car prices are just insane and I had to fix the car in order to do that. Doing some research i end up buying a Brand new battery for $2695. I installed it myself (watching a bunch of videos and research). For now is working good, so Do you think I did the right decision? should I have bought another car?  PS the car is working good, no oil leaks, oil is changed regularly.

PS 2, for may next car I want to buy a Toyota camry TRD with the V6 engine, Do you think is worth it? i don't want a turbo charged one, I want a naturaly aspirated car, i planned to keep it in the long run.

Thank you for your knowledge!

You are in it for $6000 + $2650. 

If this were 3 years ago, I would say probably smarter more cost effective to get another car. 

But prices are all over the place. Sure they are coming down, but Toyota and Toyota hybrids seem to go for an extra premium. So it may well have been a good choice to just fix it. Assuming you can get several years out of it.
