Should I pursue this high-mileage 2011 Camry?

What am I doing outside of the Lounge? Can I ad-hominem here?!
I am pretty sure that I mentioned this somewhere, but I mention many things in various places: Quote:

Can you expect people to take care of their car if you cannot expect them to take care to write clearly? I am going to guess that the seatbelt light indicates an expensive problem. I didn't think the cosmetic damage was minimal when I first saw it, but I think that I did worse to my rental! In [almost] no particular order: https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118173 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118087 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118092 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118096 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118100 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118107 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118111 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118116 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118120 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118127 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118132 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118153 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118158 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118163 https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606118168 That scrape isn't too bad and the car sure was clean four months ago! When I realized how old the ad was I scanned her profile to see if she mentioned selling it. No, but she sounds aggravating. I asked and she replied "No I ended up waiting." That could mean anything, but the ad is still up, so I am sure that she waited for an offer near her asking price. https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1606119765 As you can clearly see, Kelley says that it is worth between $5,169 and $7,138; approximately $6,154, and that is in good condition. I don't know its mechanical shape, but I would describe the interior and exterior as beautiful--except for the scrape. Maybe the engine is wearing out or the seatbelt light indicates a real problem. I finally looked it up. All that I find is "Fasten your seatbelt, idiot!" I want to have Mom negotiate having her mechanic look at it. Sure, her mechanic told me "I'm not fixing your car! You fix it!" However, aside from charging $50 to replace an air filter, he has always been good to her. |
I say it's a $3,500 car, max. She will be waiting for some one to finance it at that price. It's not like the economy is hot right now.
If it didn't have a scrape on the side and she wanted $5,000 and I needed a car that destroys the planet it would be a top contender. |
Hybrid versions, half the miles on them, aren't a lot more expensive around here...Oilpan's assessment seems about right.
Edit: $1500 '07 Prius with fewer miles on it just popped up here...if I hadn't bought the insight... |

I agree with the sentiment that it's a bit pricey. I saw someone selling a '93 camry with 90k miles for 2500. I thought it was insane to pay that much for an almost 30 year old car... but I guess a sucker is born every day.
Shop around. Fair market value of my Volt is half that asking price, I'll never sell it. |

Are you guys telling me to pursue the 2009 that needs repairs and paint for $4,000? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...4994849902516/ Maybe this 2009 with [allegedly] more miles than the 2011 for $6,000? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...9173955728084/ Perhaps this 2007 for $4,700? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...9070292828043/ Ebay Motors shows 251 sold 2010 - 2012 Camries. Only two sold for less than this woman is asking. A hybrid with 246,000 miles sold for $2,850 and a normal one that is salvage sold for $3,150 with 142,165, but sold twice just before that. The next-highest mileage one had 162,903 and sold 5 times, with the highest being $7,800. Or do you guys think these are legitimate? 2010 for $1,399: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...2365661784462/ 2012 for $1,500: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...8712731526586/ https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...7349996335838/ 2014 for $1,213: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...8905606561512/ 2017 with 130,000 miles for $9,000 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...3544712358162/ This is a Corolla, right? 2004 Ford Focus for $2,200: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...53644383114369 Quote:
Of course, I would vastly prefer a Corolla, but the only one for sale is this 2005 with 204,000 miles. What is with Toyotas with over 200,000 miles?! It has a radio, though: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...69179500779697 |

Facebook is where all the scammers and people that want too much for their car went when Craigslist started charging $5 to list a car.
That is Lexus money: 2010 Lexus ES350, 171K miles - $5,000 https://static.cargurus.com/images/f...-1024x768.jpeg https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=288507133 Or for a bit more 2011 Prius III, 166K miles - $6000 https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...279_isFeatured 2014 Camry 140K miles $6,000 https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=288408843 |
