Pick the Corolla for Danvers errands and the Camry for longer commutes

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020-2024 American Community Survey, the average commute for Danvers workers is 28.4 minutes each way. Over a longer drive, the Camry’s extra rear room makes more difference than it does on a quick run to the store.

What does a new Camry or Corolla cost in Massachusetts?
The Corolla LE starts at $23,325 and the Camry LE starts at $29,600, both as 2026 manufacturer starting prices. Massachusetts adds a sales tax to the purchase. A vehicle bought from a registered dealer is taxed at 6.25% (Massachusetts Department of Revenue, 2022).
Registration and title fees are separate. The certificate of title costs $75.00, and a normal passenger registration costs $60.00 on a two-year renewal (Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, Schedule of Fees, 2025).
Each year the vehicle also carries a motor vehicle excise. It is $25 per $1,000 of the vehicle’s value, billed for a full calendar year by the community where the vehicle is usually garaged, with a $5 minimum (Massachusetts Department of Revenue, 2025). The excise is a separate yearly bill from the one-time sales tax.
