    I just bought a 2016 Camry Hybrid with 135 K. I 'm going to recondition the Battery, change the Transmission Fluid, replace the belts and radiator hoses.
    Anything else I should do?
    Can I put off the water pump or is now a good time?

    this is the gen 4 forum.

    check the 12 volt and radiator hoses, make sure the spare is pumped up. brake fluid if it's not on the schedule.
    has all the regular maintenance been done through 120k?

    It looks pretty well maintained.
    How do you feel about the Water Pump?

    From what I've heard about transmission fluid, if it hasn't been changed by now with 135,000 miles, you're best not changing it since that could cause problems with gear slipping
