Skip the 07-09 Camrys as they're known oil guzzlers. An 05-06 or 10-11 would be good choices if everything else checks out.There are some 07-09 Camrys. A bit over budget but if I can find the right one, I'll pull the trigger.

I think he does it out of a garage. Buddys garage if I am not mistaken or he would come to me. I forgot. I'm thinking of doing plugs myself. Or not doing them at all . $630 for Timing belt parts and labor included.
That says 3 hours, seems on the short side. Hour for plugs seems high.
But if its a garage, then overhead and parts markup comes into play. $900 isn’t bad for a TB in general--if not cheap.
Dealer serviced? If you can get a tech to put it onto a lift and look for rust... I'd play it safe and bring cash with you that day.What's everyone's take on the Accord Hybrids? We just took in a 2005 Honda Accord V6 Hybrid for $2k. it's got 86k miles on it. Usually, employees pay $500-$1000 over dealer costs. So, $4,000 out the door for that thing is a steal.

Yup, dealer serviced. Timing belt and water pump done at Honda. 36 service records on the carfax.Dealer serviced? If you can get a tech to put it onto a lift and look for rust... I'd play it safe and bring cash with you that day.
I mean, I don't know about the V6 hybrid, IIRC back then it was an attempt more at sport than mpg. But. $4k? Drive it for 2 years with no repairs and you're golden. I can't find out if it has the glass automatic, I would assume so, but, unless if it is acting up, it might be a cheap ride.
It is a timing belt and it is due, regardless of mile, due to age.
I glanced the above and it sounds like it has cylinder deactivation. Which might not be anything like today's VCM--or it might be identical.
Going from a 5S-FE Camry to this... a bit of a flip.
I'm finding it odd you're making offers on cars to buy to drive to a job that you don't have?
Yeah I'm gonna put as many miles on my Genesis as quickly as I can, knowing me I'll impulsively sell it and get something else after 18 months, might as well use itTo preserve a car he'll end up selling next year. OP should just enjoy the 540.
