The Toyota Camry has built a reputation for reliability, but each generation does have its quirks. The Gen 6 (2002-2006) models are well-known for auto-transmission issues, particularly in the early years, alongside problems with oil burning in high-mileage V6 models.

Overall, while many Camrys offer solid performance, keeping these known issues in mind can help maximize the donation process.
Donation value by condition + generation
