The Camry is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you have any questions please call 828-644-3713, or wish to see any further pictures of anything I've not shown, please email and ask. I do not mind you asking questions, and I encourage you to do so. If you need to pay for the vehicle with a credit card, I can accept Paypal

I will be adding a video of the engine running, and a walk around the first day of the auction.

The carpet is worn and is discolored, but can be shampooed or cleaned, as I've done previously- the car has a new car kind of smell currently from the seats being cleaned.  It is 18 years old too, so it is not a new car.

Why Am I Selling It ?

I bought the car to commute with, I was going down I-85 on a weekly basis and racking up miles. I had the engine and transmission and CV's changed out and they now have around 100k miles on them.

I no longer commute, I have 2006 Trailblazer, a 2008 Toyota Yaris, another 2008 Toyota Yaris, a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500HD, a 1996 Mercury Cougar and any proceeds from the sale of this vehicle will go into the brake overhaul on my International Loadstar 1600 Dump Truck.  In other words, I'm car poor.

So, I'm not dumping it because it's a lemon. I'm not trying to get rid of a problem child. I'm out of space to park cars. Even on our 100acre farm, it is a pain in the behind to find a place to park, so this Camry and the Cougar and probably some others are going to go.

Buy it and drive until it reaches 500,000 miles. I am not joking. It's a Toyota, built with the bullet proof, high MPG 5SFE 2.2 4 Cylinder, the transmission has always been serviced with Toyota Fluid and Toyota Filter/Screen changes. See above for detailed specs.

Terms of Sale

Whatever you bid is what you are going to pay. A bid is commitment to pay that amount, it isn't a starting point for negotiation. So whatever you bid is whatever you will pay. I will not renegotiate the price after the auction is over, ask all questions before you bid, and I highly recommend you examine any purchase you're going to make- not just this car but any purchase- in person before you bid. Base your beliefs about this vehicle on the pictures that are there, ask any questions about things you're not sure about, if you want to see a picture of something to clarify its condition, just ask. That said, don't fantasize about the car, come look at it, or examine the pictures and ask questions so that you bid on reality and not on well wishes. Bid with the knowledge that I am honoring what I have stated in the auction, so you are expected to honor your bid. If you show up and start renegotiating, I am going to regretfully ask you to leave, and then I'll have to relist the car again.


Acceptable Forms of Payment: 
Cash, Cashiers Check, Money Order. I can accept a credit card via Paypal under certain circumstances, call before you bid if you need to pay via credit card(Paypal).

All Payment Methods Require a Non-refundable deposit of $250 due within 24 hours of the end of the auction, via Paypal.


Terms for Payment:
Cash Payment: The remainder can be paid via cash within 7 days of the end of the auction.

Cashiers Check/Money Order: If you pay via cashiers check, money order payment needs to be submitted within 5 business days of the end of the auction. It will take 7 days for a cashiers check/money order payment to clear. So the quicker you send payment, the quicker it clears, and the quicker you can come get it. If take your time to send a cashiers check/money order, it will take however long to arrive in me, I will have to deposit it, and then it takes up to 7 days to clear. Once its clear, you can come get the car.

If you wish to pay with Paypal- you must contact me before you bid, I want to speak with you either via Ebay messages or call me. Please be aware that Paypal and Ebay can put a hold of up to 30 days on the money, depending on what kind of mood they are in, and other factors, like whether you've ever done a charge back before. If they put a hold on your payment, I cannot release the car until they release the money. Hopefully, if I send you the invoice directly through Paypal, we can avoid the problem.

Shipping & Pickup: I am not a dealer, and I do not currently have a tag or insurance on this vehicle for you to drive it home on. You'll need to trailer it or get your own tag and insurance.If you choose to have the vehicle shipped to you, I can take the vehicle out to US Highway 64 and meet the vehicle shipper there for easier pickup.
