Answer 1

mileage is pretty high for a car thats a year old. the price is about right but if you put in 3 or 4 thousand more you can get a brand new camry with barely any miles. then again the new camry will be like the Se model and most likely not a v6. this camry you are looking at is a v6 xle model thats the top model you can get.  

Answer 2

I would offer them $17,500 for a first offer, especially since they are charging you a $500 "dealer fee". They will definately say no to that since what they are advertising isnt a bad price.

I would be happy to get the car for $18,500 and under or close to $19k is still a decent deal.  

Answer 3

Thats not bad at all because it looks like its the most equipped camry and toyotas are know to last for a long time

Answer 4

Don't even worry about making an offer...everytime I call on an advertised car in autotrader, it's already sold!  

Answer 5

its actually a good price and its toyota one thing you have to keep in mind is when something goes wrong with it the auto parts are pretty expensive since their shipped from another country

Answer 6

18.5 K try that

Answer 7

That car is about $27K new, so the deal isn't awful.

Mileage is high for an '07, but if it is all highway, it is really nothing.

You could probably talk them down to at least $19K (if not lower), which will still save you plenty from new.

Just make sure you have any used car you intend to purchase inspected by an independent mechanic.  Aside from telling you some potential problems, they will be able to identify if the vehicle has been in any accidents (or possibly salvaged).  

Answer 8

nothing ...it's an 07 with 31,000 miles... you're better off buying new with the incentives and new car financing interest rate...
