I own a 2012 Toyota Camry and am wondering if it would be a better idea to install 4 wheel drive or sell the vehicle and purchase a new car that already has 4wheel drive. Any advice is much appreciated.

You could probably buy 2 reliable cars that are built to have AWD and have that feature for what it would cost to do a shitty and problematic conversion to AWD on a FWD car that was never designed to be AWD (like a 2012 Camry).
Sell the Camry, buy a used Subaru (or other AWD car). Or a new Camry, which is available with AWD.
Or, buy snow tires for the Camry, and an AAA membership in case you get stuck and need a tow.
Yeah, if you have the Toyota app you should be able to unlock the 4wd feature. It’s a monthly subscription service, but you can probably just pay for it during months of heavy snow fall.
Sorry, this is sadly a joke. Converting a vehicle from 2wd to 4wd, although technically possible, it’s not practical AT ALL. I’d suggest selling the vehicle and buying one that fits your needs.
Option 3: get a set of really good snow tires and chains
Sell it and buy a car that is already AWD. The conversion process takes far more than most people think.
“Buys car that is already AWD”
The AWD Tempo has entered the chat.
Considering installing 4 wheel drive on a Camry is damn near impossible for a regular person to do, but a new car.
It is possible but expensive to covert the vehicle to AWD. If you really want that feature, you w=should buy a different car.
