2018 Toyota Camry — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke? — Las Vegas owner

2018 Toyota Camry SE, about 124,500 miles. I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy the same car again.

Quick update: a second 2018 Toyota Camry quote made the first offer look ordinary. If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2018 Toyota Camry and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Then the comparison gets honest. Just my two cents from doing this recently. Not letting add-ons ride along because everyone does.
