Estimated 5-year cost to own the Toyota Camry (gas)
Running cost is only part of ownership. Below is OwnRate's transparent 5-year estimate. The fuel/energy line uses the EPA's published annual fuel cost ($2,200 × 5). The maintenance, insurance and depreciation lines are documented assumptions by body type and powertrain — not model-specific quotes — so treat the total as a ballpark, not a price. See the methodology for the exact assumptions.
| Cost line (5 years) | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Fuel / energy (EPA 5-yr) | $11,000 |
| Maintenance & repairs (est.) | $4,500 |
| Insurance (est.) | $7,500 |
| Depreciation (est.) | $14,000 |
| Estimated 5-year cost to own | $37,000 |
