2025 Toyota Camry XSE — question: Car hesitates once, then drives normally

SmoothWrench66Community StarterOct 4, 20252025 Toyota Camry XSEHouston
2025 Toyota Camry XSE, about 151,000 miles. Every few days I get a brief hesitation pulling away from a stop. It feels like the engine cuts power for half a second and then everything is normal. No stored light on the dash. Wondering what live data would be worth logging.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. In Houston, insurance quotes flipped a 2025 Toyota Camry comparison for me more than the sale price did. That's the part that actually changes the decision. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Update from me: I finally have sale price, fees, and trade on separate lines for the 2025 Toyota Camry. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. In Houston, insurance quotes flipped a 2025 Toyota Camry comparison for me more than the sale price did. Then the comparison gets honest. This is from a 2025 Toyota Camry in Houston with 151,000 miles. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Get the messy numbers in writing first. Ask for out-the-door on the 2025 Toyota Camry with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. On “question: car hesitates once, then drives normally,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Just my two cents from doing this recently. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
