2002 Le V6 - $8k? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Im not sure if any of you saw my thread about the Gen4 Camry, but I was searching Auto Trader and I actually found a Gen5 for under $9K, and hes only 20 miles away from me.

The car is a 2002 LE V6 Auto, with 123K miles. Heres a link:

If the rest of the car is in good shape, do you think thats a great buy?

I'd get it. Camry's last for a long time, just make sure you do a Carfax on it. Plus, it's a V6 =]

I would get a carfax, I already have for the Gen4 that I was originally looking at. Once I hear back from the seller about what kind of miles they are (hwy, city, etc), and if theres anything wrong with it, I may get one now so I can show my parents and have them loan me a couple thousand :P

Don't forget about maintenance and service records.

Thats what im guessing. We have 104K on our '03 and its all highway.

Do you know of any Camrys that are selling around locally, that arent online?

Looking at the ads...it looks good for the price. But I can't comment much since I don't get to physically see it. If I can see it in person then I can check the exterior to make sure no accident involve, original paint or re-paint, engine conditions...stuff like that.

geoff5093 · 03-24-2007, 10:26 AM

I know what you mean. I tried emailing the guy but he never repsonded, I may just cal him and see if I can take a look at the car.

Camread · 03-24-2007, 01:37 PM

Looks in decent shape, price seems fair, he'd prolly go down a little of if bug him about the mileage.

I had an 03 rolla s w/100k and got $9500 from the insurance

geoff5093 · 03-24-2007, 02:17 PM

I would try to talk him down to at least $7K, and see what he says.

120-140K miles are the worst, since thats when everything needs replacing, lol.

ahboy783 · 03-24-2007, 03:24 PM

well, not so much with a Toyota

touringcamry · 03-24-2007, 10:28 PM

Wow...those miles really make the care depreciate quick. When I totaled my 00 Camry LE I4 auto with 81k, my insurance paid me just over $10k to total it.

jorallo · 03-25-2007, 05:36 AM

won't be that bad if its 100k miles just check all gaskets make sure there are no leaks check for body damage bondo or bad paint job to cover up an accident and carfax..all a toyota will do is to keep working... my sister's 97 camry is at 200k miles i service her car pretty much every 3000 miles oil.oil filter fuel filter .gaskets. and belts tranny fluid fully synthetic with lucas additive .. i bet if i shot a bullet into it.. it would probably keep running spit the bullet out in the filter and wait for another oil change i freakn love toyota they just won't die..

ok just a lil exaggerated on the bullet part but u get the point
