What is my Camry worth? Help me price it!

[xcmtb83]

Well I finally have my Camry ready to run for another 100,000 miles but am contemplating selling it once I know how much to ask, this is where YOU come into the picture! It is a 1995 DX Coupe, 2.2 liter, 102,000 miles, 5spd trans, black, Oak clothe interior, cruise, power windows, power locks. I bought the car only 8,000 miles ago just to get from point A to point B but ended up putting so much money into it I figured I would just keep it and drive it forever but after buying a Tacoma I am thinking one vehicle is enough for me. Since this forum is filled with fellow Camry owners, what should I be asking for the vehicle? What would YOU pay for this vehicle given the amount of time and money put into this Camry? The overall shape of the vehicle is good. The interior is quite nice actually in fact better than the exterior. Below is a list of what I have personally done to the Camry within the last 7,000 miles with receipts for reference.

New Monroe Quick Struts (4)
Valve adjustment with 2 new OEM shims installed
New 60,000 mi Goodyear tires (4)
New front wheel bearings (2)
New Ready Rad radiator
New Prestone coolant
New front and rear Moog sway bar links (4)
New rear sway bar bushings (2)
New OEM Distributor Cap
New OEM Rotor
New OEM plug wires (4)
New OEM timing belt
New OEM water pump
New OEM power steering belt/crankshaft belt
New OEM alternator/crankshaft/AC belt
New OEM timing belt tensioner pulley
New OEM timing belt tensioner spring
New OEM timing belt idler pulley
New OEM thermostat
New OEM radiator cap
New OEM water pump/intermediate casting gaskets, (3)
New OEM oil pump rotor set
New OEM oil pump seal
New OEM oil pump o-ring
New OEM crankshaft seal
New OEM camshaft seal
New OEM timing belt cover gaskets (3)
New OEM fuel filler neck
New NGK spark plugs (4)
New Fel-Pro valve cover gasket
New Valvoline gear oil in transmission
New CV shafts (2)
New front brakes
New front rotors
New PCV valve
New wiper blades
New FRAM air filter
New Pioneer speakers (4)
and of course new Valvoline engine oil and WIX oil filter.

Pretty ridiculous huh?! ....I realize it is but am still wondering what to ask for the vehicle given so much has been done to it. I also realize that I probably won't get back all of the money I have put into the vehicle. I look forward to any and all input! Thanks in advance.

If you know the value of your car, you will get so disappointed or upset by thinking the money you have invested. my recommendation is........just keep it

[haux]

How much rust?

[eyeball96]

I'd think, it would be worth 3k maybe

[ricamryman]

Depending on the Interior/Exretior condition.....If Good...$3500-4Gs!

I bought mine from a Toyota mechanic for $3000 over a year ago. Im thinkin maybe 3250 3500 maybe if you find the right buyer. Personally Id keep it. Its really only worth, probably around 2500 blue book. Good luck.

I hope you only had to pay for parts and could do the work yourself. these old cars are really onlty worthit if you do the work yourself. you can buy a brand new kia specra for 12k with a 100k mile warranty. edmunds.co has it in good condition dealer price of 2,500 edmunds is the most realistic kbb is just a tool for the dealers to inflate the price . I never pay more than good condition private party price and most of the time i pay good condition tradin price.... just keep it with all that new mantance stuff doen to it.

Looking at the long OEM list, you already spent ~1 K on the maintenance/parts No matter how much you spend on your car, the buyer is NOT gonna pay you all that money anway.Sorry bro, I too learnt it the hard way
Keep it dude or at least find a needy buyer rather than a low-baller!

[stingraycamry1996]

before i read any of the other posts, i was thinking $3000-$3500 which is pretty much what everyone seems to be saying but seeing how much you've put into it and how well maintained it is, i'd keep it.

[hill8570]

Around here, roughly 3200, plus or minus a couple hundred. Exterior would have to be in decent shape (no rust, only minor dings, no clearcoat damage). If the body looked like it had been originally from the salt belt (lots of body or underneath rust), no one would probably be willing to even touch it. Pristine might fetch a few hundred more, but they'd have to be smokin' something to get them above four thou, even if it looked showroom.

[jtex2717]

With that said.....I would keep it...even though it is a 5s a 5spd Cam is a fun little toy IMO......

[carsrus]

How much did you pay for it? If you can recoup that plus maybe a couple hundo more, that would be awesome.

But you've done basically every maintenance and expected repair on it. You can probably go another 60k with basically no maintenance other than oil changes. If you can sell it for what you paid and then some, sell it. If not definitely keep it as you've got a bullet proof ride.

[ricamryman]

Yeah, I would keep it & run that bytch into the ground! That is the only way you will re-coup your cash!

[wuda pig]

just keep it, youre not going to get much of it. use it as a backup car or something

[xcmtb83]

Thank you all for your input. I realize it is very hard to judge the value with no pics. I will get some pics uploaded once it warms up a little here. We just had one heck of a blizzard and crazy cold temps right now. I am leaning towards keeping it after all of your responses but am still undecided. I guess it wouldn't hurt to advertise it just to see if I might get some bites on it. I am already in over my head even if I were to get $3,500 out of it but I just don't think I will really drive it enough to justify keeping it. Oh, and yes all of the work was performed by myself outside of mounting and balancing the tires.
