Thanks for the first quote. I test drove a 2006 4dr civic today and liked it but it felt like a kids car. I also found out that the used car lots the guys are like vultures opposed to the new car lots. No pressure when testing out the new accords and the new scion tc. Thanks again.

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

June 19th, 2008

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.

Let us know if you or your friends/family need any advice or have any further questions. Goodluck!

Queen of the Road: Hi Adinar. Welcome to our blog! First off, I need to comment that for $18,000, you could get something alot nicer and newer. Possibly a new car if the right deals popped up.  Secondly, the seller has it marked up too high that it’s ridiculous. Did you find this through a dealer or private party? Here’s the wholesale prices and the estimated prices that dealerships would sell that car for…

For a 2004 Honda Pilot EX-L with 38,670 miles, wholesale prices range from $15,200 (being in above average condition) to $13,500 (being in average condition) and $11,700 (being in below average

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,050 to $16,800.

I recommend looking around, but if you really want this car, bargain hard, my friend. I checked out Craiglist for Little Rock, Arkansas and has no luck with Honda Pilots. Are there any other cars you’re considering or is the Honda Pilot a sure thing? Best of luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!

Queen of the Road: Hi, AJ! $16,000?! I’m not suprised with it coming from a dealership. Below are the wholesale prices that that dealership may have paid for.

For a 2004 Honda Odyssey EX with 50,800 miles, wholesale prices range from $14,300 (being in above average condition) to $12,400 (being in average condition) and $10,400 (being in below average condition).

Bargain hard, my friend.

Once you you settle on a price for this car, check carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection.
