That should be a solid purchase, but check local prices to see if that is a good price. It sounds kind of high to me but the year may be later than I expect..
The major service intervals are at the 30,000 mile marks. Mostly there will be inspections. The hybrid has no more maintenance requirements than the standard Camry except the inverter coolant gets changed when the engine coolant is changed (same coolant is used in both loops). The coolant used in the Camry hybrids is changed every 120K miles or ten years, if I remember right. The 2.4L 4 cylinder used in the hybrid does not have a timing belt to change and the timing chain should last the life of the car.
We have two 2002 Prius in the family. They are first generation Toyota hybrids (the Camrys are all second and third generation) so we have the less efficient, less reliable systems. Neither of our cars has required any repair except for broken windshields, tires and wiper blades in the 150K mile life of mine or the 120K mile life of my wife's. Both have original brakes, less than 50% worn and working like new. I know ours are less reliable than the one you are looking at, but both are by far the most reliable cars we have ever owned.
