I'm going today to look at a private party Camry Hybrid, used 2010. It has about 9,000 miles on it and is fully loaded. Leather seats, nav, bluetooth, heated seats, moonroof, backup cam. The current offer is at$22.5k.

Is that a good price or should I try for 21k?

What would a dealer pay for this as a trade-in? I'm thinking around $19.5k.

Thanks.

 

I use sites like this to figure the new car prices. You can also figure your used and trade-in prices.

That is about a $31-32K car available for $22.5K. It is already at a great price; when (not if) oil goes back up, people will be offering you $25K or more for it on the spot.

If you can knock another $1500-2000 off of the car, fine. But it is close to being a great deal right now.

BTW, mine is almost identical to yours in terms of equipment, only it is an '09. BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE ABOUT A CAR IN A LONG, LONG TIME!!!!!

 

Thanks for your input. There was no way I could get her to come down from $22.5k, so I got it at that.

I agree - the car is fantastic. The ride is so smooth, CVT is awesome. And, today I broke 46 MPG in stop-and-go traffic. That is some good stuff.
