How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Toyota Corolla
Question From Steven: I am looking for a used 2009 Toyota Corolla Type 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A),with something roughly around 25,000 miles.
Queen of the Road: Hi Steven. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! Below is a price range depending on who you’re buying from…
For a 2009 Toyota Corolla Sedan with 25,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $12,300 (being in above average condition) to $11,100 (being in average condition) and $9,900 (being in below average condition).
A fair range to buy from a dealership is +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $11,300 to $13,900. 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.
Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!
