1 previous owner with no accidents. Is there anything I should know about this specific year and model? Anything I should keep an eye out for?

Add a bit and buy a new one, that car is almost 4.5 years old at this point.
The new MSRP is only a bit more.
Transmission problem lead the pack by a wide margin.

So do you think I should go with a 2022 model than?
The 2022 Camry looks to be basically the same as the 2018 model. Moderator @dan may know if problems with the 8-speed transmission have been fixed.
Hmmm ok, will probably still go check out the 2018, if it shifts well on the test drive than I will consider it. Thanks for replying!
Well... Toyota cheeped out.
They don't use the 450NM rated version, apparently usually it's the weaker 280NM rated one.
These were previously used on luxury cars with a mixed reputation, but they seem to be fine.
Usually they're smooth, but there have been plenty of defects and I doubt if these are going to last.
Aside from mechanical aspect are you sure you want to buy a 2018 used Camry for $23k when the brand new 2022 LE Camry is $26k msrp?! You pay $3k more but instead get brand new car you own from day one and it has factory/manufacturer warranty too. I do know a lot of people end up having to buy from allocation and waiting for the car to arrive in order to buy at msrp but still I think it's definitely worth it instead of buying an overpriced used car.
Way too much money.
2018 was the first year of the 8th Camry generation. There were non-major issues especially with the transmission, but they have corrected them. 2020 models onward don’t seem to have any major problems. I own a 2021 Camry SE. It’s a year old now and so far, it’s flawless.
As of today market, I suggest buying a brand new one over a used one. The difference won’t be much.
$23K for a Camry that's nearly 5 years old is way too much. Don't know where you sourced it but there are way better bargains out there on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. Even with today's crazy prices I would pay no more than $16K for that. The beauty about Camry's is you can get one that is older, say a 2010 and if it's been well maintained and has relatively low mileage and not rusted it will last forever and you could probably pick up one for less than $10K. Also check out Accord's, they are very good cars also.
