How Much Should I Pay: 2004 Honda Accord & 2004 Toyota Camry

Question: I appreciate your response.

I was thinking along the same line. Another dealer said, he can get the same vehicle with 40K miles for 15 K. I’m still skeptical.

I’m also looking at:

2004 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN LX AUTO 4Cyl – 38K Miles
and
2004 Camry SE 4dr 4Cyl – 40K Miles
What is the price range I can expect?
Thanks in advance.

Queen of the Road: Sure thing! Anything to help.

If that other dealer can get you the same car with 40k miles for $15, that’s a pretty good deal. Was it salvaged? He’s quoting wholesale prices. You’re right, it does sound fishy.

For a 2004 Honda Accord 4C LX with 38,000 miles, prices range from $13,300 (being in above average condition) to $11,600 (being in average condition) and $10,000 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $11,200 to $14,700.

For a 2004 Toyota Camry SE with 40,000 miles, prices range from $12,800 (being in above average condition) to $11,200 (being in average condition) and $9,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $10,700 to $14,300.
