It's rather amazing how cheap new Toyotas have become. We paid a bit
under $17K for a Camry LE 12 years ago. Now I can buy a 2009 Camry LE
for $17.5K, and the new vehicle has a bigger engine, better fuel
economy, and a lot more safety features like ABS, TPMS, and a bunch of
air bags as standard equipment.
