Convey A Trailer is beginning to get a bit wild once more. This time round, it’s not flippers making an attempt to make some dough on not too long ago bought, new automobiles. It’s low mileage fundamental automobiles popping out of nowhere and going for giant cash. Take this 2002 Toyota Camry that simply bought for over $20,000.
There’s nothing particular about this Camry. Actually, it’s a quintessential Camry. As Camry as Camrys get. Like for those who googled “2002 Toyota Camry” this precise automobile would both be the primary hit or on the prime of the search outcomes.
It’s beige on tan. Or slightly, Desert Sand Mica over Macadamia fabric, forgive me. It’s an XLE trim which means its prime of the road, so it has that going for it. It has faux wooden trim, a sunroof, 16” alloy wheels, a JBL sound system and most significantly a V6 underneath the hood. Energy for this gen of Camry got here from both a base 2.4-liter I4 that may very well be had with a five-speed handbook or four-speed automated or the three.0-liter V6 and automated that comes on this XLE. It was good for 192 horsepower.
It’s tremendous. It’s A Automobile. So why did this factor promote for only a few grand off of its authentic MSRP?
It has 17,000 miles and the inside is clear. Actually clear. Aside from that it’s a boring previous Camry. It’s not like somebody went and swapped a V8 from a Lexus LS430 of the identical 12 months or something like that.
On one hand I get the eager for the simplicity of a budget, fundamental transportation of yesteryear. Automakers don’t see revenue in making automobiles that fundamental or easy anymore, so we’ll by no means see stuff like this once more. Then again, $22,000? Severely? The value is extra absurd when you think about that for simply $50 extra (earlier than vacation spot and dealing with), they might have gone and bought a model new base mannequin Corolla for $22,050. They might have even splurged only a bit extra and went for a brand new Corolla Hybrid ($23,500).
Severely, I have to know who precisely bought all these fundamental automobiles and by no means drove them. From Saturns to Honda CR-Vs and Ford Escorts and now this. What’s subsequent, a high-priced, low-mileage Nissan Versa?
