Hi, I'm looking at buying a Toyota Camry (about 2010/2011). I've always been particularly fond of the hybrid version (as I will be using this car for Uber 2 days a week) but it is significantly more expensive than the standard petrol unless I go for a high mileage one. I have two options, either buy the standard petrol (probably about 100,000kms, buy the hybrid (>200,000kms). I know Camrys are extremely reliable and can go for ever if looked after.

Hi there,
My biggest concern with a high-mileage hybrid is the battery, I recommend getting the battery condition checked or advice from Toyota as to how long it should last. As it may be costly to replace if it fails.
