Used 2008 Toyota Camry SE for Sale near Ames, IA

I Love EVERYTHING about this car! Steering response is phenomenal, build quality is top of the line. Everything works perfectly. Acceleration could be a lot quicker but then again it IS a Camry haha. ONE of TWO ONLY downsides to this car might be that it is quiet bulky for a full-size sedan..maybe just a hint larger but maybe it's just be me. And TWO, the car comes with factory installed Bridgestone Turanza EL400's. I have to point out that these tires are HORRIBLE! Dry traction is good but when put to the test in different conditions this vehicle will not stick to the road. I'm in the process of buying new wheels and tires for my baby. Gas mileage (to me) is just a hint over the downside edge. A full 18.5 tank would cost me roughly around $65 where I am. I am a spirited driver so I know those short bursts of acceleration takes it's toll on my gas, not to mention the desire to stay 9mph above the speed limit lol. I also like to go out a lot which would explain my trips to the gas station at exactly every week. This car isn't for those of you who LOVE SPEED and do it 24/7, but it if you're one of those "spirited drivers" and find yourself speeding once in a while, this car will more than exceed your expectations. Though it doesn't come in a manual tranny for the Gen6, it does have a 5-Speed Auto tranny which would somewhat satisfy your desire to "shift between gears". The SE comes with a ground effects kit which makes the car look as if it's been dropped (+1). This car only has a little less than 4,000 on it so I can't say if the brakes squeak or if there's a problem with anything..too soon to say. I would recommend this car to ANYONE! LOVE IT!

The suspension is a bit too stiff for my tastes. When one thinks of the Camry, one associates it with a ride that is the envy of any other car in this class. This is true of the CE, LE, XLE, and Hybrid trims. The SE has a sport tuned suspension that results in improved handling prowess, but also thumps a bit more over bumps. The ride is still supple and competitive with many sedans, but you don't get the bump absorption like in the other Camry models. The fit and finish of the Domestic Camry models have been inconsistent. The interior plastic is mostly good, but some panels look and feel budget grade. There are a few inconsistencies in panel gaps. Overall, it is good overall. But American Camry models have had recent uncharacteristic lapses in interior workmanship, that is very unToyotalike.

I liked my Camry, but there were a few things that bothered me. The engine was underpowered and had a bad hesitation when you put the gas pedal to the floor. Some of the trim was poorly chosen, and gets scuffed up very easily. The car was very comfortable to drive/ride in. My biggest complaint was I didn't trust the car when merging with traffic or passing someone, sometimes when you hit the gas, the engine would barely get above an idle. In my opinion that can be dangerous.

Paint job on the white Camrys have major problems. Love the interior of the SE models and the spoilers that keep it from looking like a grandpa car. Sunroof is also a great addition on these cars. Gotta love Toyotas-my 98' Corolla is still going strong!

i like this car very much runs well but feels kind of light on the road is not as driving a ford fusion the fusion feels very strong and handles well on the road is like driving a bmw, or a m-benz.
