How Much Should I Pay: 2003 Toyota Camry
Question From Cyndi: I am considering buying 2003 camry xle in mint condition with 79,000 miles–what is the value of this car and what should I pay for it?
Queen of the Road: Hi Cyndi. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! The price you should pay depends on who you’re buying from…
For a 2003 Toyota Camry 4C Sedan XLE with 79,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $8,300 (being in above average condition) to $7,300 (being in average condition) and $6,400 (being in below average condition).
A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $7,400 to $9,400. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
