What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota Camry

Price of the Toyota Camry: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
It was lease takeover. $149mo. for 11 months with a $13.3 buyout/resell
2009 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
One of the biggest reasons for buying the Camry is that Toyota offers a disability reinbursment where they will pay for adaptive equipment added to the car. Now my wife will be able to drive. The Altima did not offer this.
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The 2007 Camry SE V6 is a great compromise between luxury, performance and affordability.
2002 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
This car was a Hertz rental car. It was a very good price with a good warranty.
Price of the Toyota Camry: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Why pay more for less?????
2009 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
If I have to get same features on Camry (which I got on accord), I have to spend above 30k + APR also will be high.
2008 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
Expensive
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Dealer was not willing to deal oter than cursory reductions. DId not want to "Open Book" pricing and discounts, tried to hide them in "lease" payments
2007 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
Price too high and dealer would not deal.
2007 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Too expensive a premium for hybrid. They come stripped or loaded (mostly loaded) with nothing in between.
2007 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
I was able to get a much better deal on the Accord.
2007 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
~$30,000
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Dealership would not negotiate.
2006 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 3.0L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
higher price for less features
2002 4dr Sedan 192-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
The price is higher than comparable models and my payments were over $500 a month on a 60 month loan.

Price of the Toyota Prius: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
The prius is not very expensive compared to other hybrids, in fuel or maintenance costs.
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Cheaper than the Mini
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Price was a good value
2008 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
It was a previously owned vehicle that was offered at a very good price
2008 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
I felt that the cost was reasonable given the technology. In addition, there was a total of $4000 in government tax rebates that lessened the cost of ownership a great deal.
2008 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
$25k out the door price.
2006 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
We have a private loan and we are paying if off as fast as we can.
2005 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
I bought the car used. Excellent deal.
Price of the Toyota Prius: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Getting any hybrid new in 2010 for 21k was not a bad deal, but Toyota broke out the Prius into several different models, and for 21k you get a pat on the back and the little paper in the floorboard.
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Several thousand more than the Insight.
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Even the low end Prius was a few thousand more than the mid-range Insight EX.
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Price is too high in this uncertain economic time. Plus I tend to keep cars 10 to 12 years. I do not want to be faced with the cost of replacing the batteries (well over $1,500) eight to ten years from now.
2008 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Payments were 382 per month for 7 years, car not really worth it.
2008 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
There is the "hybrid premium" you pay because of the new technology, but the Prius is neither a small car not a cheap car. It is larger than a Camry inside and it is well built with tons of features not found on cars such as the Yaris, Corolla, Elantra...
2008 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Far too expensive for what you get.
2007 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Its expensive, compared to other models of about the same size. It will take several years before the fuel economy pays that back.
2006 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
Was a great bargain when tax credits could defray expense (I got both federal and state credits!)
2005 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
The car is pricy for mid size car
2004 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
It can be pricier than similar cars of the same model year.
2004 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
In Canada, there is definitely a price premium for the Prius - which is unfortunate, since it is a great car.
2003 4dr Sedan 70-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
It is an expensive car, and I am hoping to drive it for 10+ years to make that investment worth it. I am a person who would more likely buy a used car rather than something new off the lot. I just got swept away by the "green" aspect of owning a Prius.
