I have a Camry XLE. My cup holder in the center console is spring loaded and will no longer stay latched. Is there an inexpensive way to repair or replace it?

You can probably find one on eBay for $20 or so or go to a salvage yard. You might also squirt some silicone spray on the hinge to see if it frees up the mechanism.

Yeah, go to a junk yard and get another one.
