1995 Camry LE - only 23,300 miles - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

docubiz · 10-13-2009, 07:00 PM

Update to this note: I'm looking to SELL this car for my father, people, not buy one !!!

I need the help of you Camry fans! What do you experts think is a fair asking price for the above? Original owner, but only 23,300 miles. "Dark Metallic Blue" was Toyota's color-name for it. Garage-kept 14 years. Made in Japan, not Fremont, CA or Georgetown, KY. Not one speck of rust. Elderly owner with diminished sight who needs to sell this car. New Michelin tires installed in January (like less than 100 miles ago!). Maryland Inspection Certificate Provided. Out of about 80 items listed on the Maryland Motor Vehicle Inspection Report, the ONE and ONLY thing that needs to be done to get it to pass inspection is a new headlight assembly kit on the left side. With labor, the price on this repair would be about $300. Other than that, only issues are a stubborn left rear power-window, most likely because it never got used all these years. Also, power-lock on the right-front passenger door is jammed and needs to be opened from the inside.

I'm thinking this is still quite a rare find! What say you, Camry enthusiasts? Your honest opinion would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a great find with that low of mileage and in the condition you describe. And, that blue is somewhat of a rare color at least where I live.

Check kbb.com and edmunds.com as a starting point for pricing in your area (zip code) if you haven't already.

Good luck!

BUY IT!!!
I haven't seen another guy on this forum with a Japan-made Camry yet; We'll start a club

Fair would probably be about 3-3.5 grand CDN, probably same in USD... But go for it, it truly is a rare find

Yeah 3 grand would definitely be resonable. That would be quite a steal for a practically new car.

If the condition is authentic then it would be a good buy. Elderly folks have legit reasons for selling good cars at great prices.

Sorry, but $3,000 - $3,500 is a bit ridiculous! I'm thinking more than that! Japan-made; 23,300 miles; garage-kept the entire 15 years! More like $4,500, my friend !

Sorry, but $3,000 would be STUPID! Way too little !

muminiasty · 10-14-2009, 07:42 PM

Average person won't probably buy it for 4500$

It's not good to have a motor sitting around for too long. That kind of mileage in an MK III Supra and people would jump all over it, in a Camry ... errr ... not too excited ...

EEngineer · 10-15-2009, 03:14 AM

they were mass produced cars thats why
at one point there was a brand spanking new 1990 V6 camry being sold last year on ebay with zero mileage.
the dealer forgot where it was stored and found it and it lost like 80% of the value because of time.

cars are meant to be driven.

muminiasty · 10-15-2009, 05:44 AM

can you take pictures of it and post it??

Mine's a Jap-made. Are they that rare?

I thought all of the Camry's produced before around 2000 were made in Japan.

docubiz · 10-15-2009, 07:00 PM

Oh, but they'll pay $5,000 - $6,000 for these '95 Camrys with nearly 200,000 miles on them that I see ALL OVER THE INTERNET from dealers? I don't think so !! $4,500 is a serious BARGAIN for 23,000 miles, made in JAPAN (not KY or CA) and garage-kept for 14 years, pal !!! I suggest you re-examine !
