I personally feel that asking these types of questions won't help. Why? Each state/region is price differently not to mention, everyone has different options in their car, dealers make their own prices and prices are negotiated. This goes for new and used prices. Used prices is also based on condition and options included. I highly doubt that there is a 2010-2011 with 20k-35k miles? On average, cars are driven 12,000-13,000 miles a year. I wouldnt buy a used 2010 or 2011 because price wouldn't be that much of a difference and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you're the first owner. Unless you're tight on funds.

*EDIT* I can see 2010's being 20k+ miles as they could of been bought in 2009

Someone can say they paid $32k but is that out the door price or is that including taxes and fees? Taxes and fees also vary as each state has different percentage. It may come with leather but no nav or nav, sunroof and no leather or nav, sunroof, leather and no spoiler. There are sooooo many things that can change the price of a car.

If someone paid $28k for car only before taxes and fees, you may not get that price or even close to it. Hell, you may even get a better deal. When looking to buy a car, this is all based on going to different dealerships and seeing which one will give you the best price with the options you're looking for.

When people buy cars is also a factor in price. Buy it near end of year or during holidays, there will be incentives. Buy it end of month, dealers are more reasonable to meet monthly quota.

If this is your first time buying a car, I highly suggest you do some searching on Google on how to buy a car and negotiating. I also suggest bringing someone who has bought a car with you. Dealers will know right off the bat if you're fresh out of the water and will take advantage of you. I didnt have anyone come with me when I bought the car but after google searching and doing my research, I found out what the invoice price of the car is via www.edmunds.com, what the lingo some dealerships use in the paperwork.

There are many factors into pricing. As I stated, its best if you go out and do your own research via google and going to different dealerships to see which is more friendly/helpful and which will give you a better deal.

www.fitzmall.com is something to compare new car prices to as they seem to be the cheapest.

Werd.

Around here you can find 2010 SE's, but 99% of them are ex-rental cars. If you have found one you are truly interested in, I would recommend going to http://www.KBB.com , http://www.edmunds.com , and http://www.NADA.com, enter your location info, and take an average of those. When I was researching trade in value for my car I was trading in on my 2011 Camry, I found NADA to be high, KBB to be low, and Edmund's TMV to be right in the middle.

i bought my used 07 Camry with 40K miles for 16K out the door. good deal i think. and my dad just bought a 2010 SE white 4cyl no options and 3k on the odo for about 21K out the door. pretty good i think since the SE retails for 24K before taxes, fees and options. but again location and model varies alot. i found both models online so u might wanna check there and see what they go for in your location.

Used Camry I have seen hasn't hold up its value so much compare to its competitor like Honda Accord.

Where I can find a 09 camry 4cyl SE w/ 40-50K miles at $14K, the accord in similar feature cost $3-5K more.

I would say if you can get 2010 Camry 4cyl SE 35-45K miles at $17K, you got a DAMN GOOD deal.

Thanks guys, now i have to decide if i get a used or brand new one,
the thing i see happening now is that most of the people buying Camry's go either for the
2010 or the 2011 SE's since the have more horse power i see 2007, 2008, and 2009 SE
sit at the dealer for months and the 2010 and 2011 don't even last a month at the dealer
so i am going to be watching the listings very close, keep it coming.
