I was going to buy a new car but hate the seats in all the new cars. The government now requires the back of the seat in all new cars to be set lower now so you won't slide out of the seat in case of collision. Never mind that you have seat belts and air bags which would prevent that. Anyway I bought a 2018 Camry XLE with a more comfortable seat from Phillips. I went to just about every car dealer in Ocala and Leesburg. I got a trade in of $1,500 for my 2002 Camry XLE with 230 K miles that had an electric seat adjustment problem that could not be fixed. The out the door price for the 2018 was fair at $26K. The car was in perfect condition. Be sure to check the first write up they give you with the final write up at the time sale because there were some differences (the bottom line was the same but there were some things you could negotiate). Overall I am happy with my car and my experience with Phillips.
ps several years ago I had taken my car to DeLuca Toyota in Ocala and the service recommended 3 service items to be "fixed" - none of which needed to be done.
