Folks,

I'm getting a deal of the following car:

Toyoto Camary - Csi SDV10.

Specification:

4 Sp Auto

year: 1996

Engine: 2.2

KM: 97989

06/08 registration.

Fuel System ELECTRONIC F/INJ

Cylinders 4

Driven Wheels FWD

Std Transmission 4A

Optional Transmission 5M opt

Standard Features Central Locking, Power Mirrors, Power Steering, Radio Cassette with 4 Speakers

Optional Features Airbag Driver, Anti-lock Braking, Air Conditioning, Metallic Paint

Highway Fuel Consumption 6.6 (lt/100km)

City Fuel Consumption 10 (lt/100km)

Since this is my first car in Australia and I need to know if that car is worth 7500 AUD. If not what should I offer?

I can see that it is 10+ years old car but the KM is what attracting me, which makes this car equal to 2002 Model with 100KM. My view is positive to this car just because of KM and its lady drived car and very neat.

Fast reply is much appreciated as I need to make offer tomorrow.

Cheers,

Ricky

Uhhh... Your asking about a camry on a Skyline forum?

$7,500 for a 12 year old car? Its almost at 100k, has it had its major service? If not your looking at another grand.

I don't know much about camry's but I wouldn't buy it myself.

Maybe offer $6k? I dunno.

as Lachlan33 said find out if its had the timing belt done other wise ur up 4 an extra 400 min. i dont think they r worth that much posably round the 5 ish mark but thats just my opinion. have a look on places like the trading post, car sales and other sites to c wat models like that r going for

im pretty sure toyotas dont need timing belt change till 140 000km, as they use a metal chain instead of a rubber belt... more durable but of course they are a tad heavy :cheers:

Other then that, to know if a car is worth it,,, u really got to see it, inspect it... etc... cant really tell over a forum.

Get someone that knows cars to come and inspect it for you. :cheers:

with that price range you could prob pick up a non-turbo auto skyline R32-R33

yeah but Insurance, Quality, Economy, Age, Local availability of parts + servicing etc. is going to be the benefit over skylines for the given price..

I would be pretty sure he's going for the camry for a reason.

Check out www.redbook.com.au - generally quite good a barganing tool when dealing with pretty common/local cars.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
