So I may be buying a car from a random guy off Craigs List....

I must sell my nice Camry for $13,500, Call me and make an offer, at the end of the day the closest one to my asking price will take the car. I am selling for less then it worth because I have to, good deal for you. If you like the car but need to get a loan, you can put a cash deposit down and test drive it for 24 hrs. That way you can take it to the shop if you like or take it to the bank to look at.

You won’t find a better deal anywhere. Suggested Retail price (What a dealer will rip you off would be) is $16500! This also means any credit union or bank in the area would loan this amount. Very clan and reliable vehicle with only 32 thousand miles, I don’t even think the vehicle is broken in yet. UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY!

So if you’re like me then you’re asking yourself, “Why is he giving this car away and taking a loss?” Pretty much, the military. So if you’re going to call me and jerk me around or scam me don’t bother! This is offer is only good thru today (Sunday) Come Monday I will take it to CarMax, who has offered $12985. They are a wholesaler what do you expect. But try to buy it from them for that price, won’t happen! So if you’re in the market for a good deal then here it is! Try to go to a dealer and ask for the same deal!

I seriously doubt he has an offer from carmax.

And if he's basing his price off retail at KBB.com the private seller price is probably much lower than a dealer retail price would be.

What year is the car? Book it out at here: http://www.kbb.com/

And realize in today's market any dealer out there likely would want to buy the car at 1-2k below wholesale.

I simply wouldn't be rushed into a purchase of this amount without having it first inspected by a tech you trust, and with a Vin search for its history.

Also, you have to look at what kind of financing you can get privately, unless you're paying cash, Versus what Toyota could give you on a new car, they're hurting and have very attractive deals going.

We sold our '08 Camry earlier this year for $18,000... It had low miles, and we had gotten leather put in it when we bought it (it came with cloth)... We also had the multi disc player, and a few other non-standard features...

Sounds legit if it is an '07 or '08 or maybe even an '09 (with that high of mileage on it)...

Personally, I think the CarMax offer is probably legit...

A common scam on craigslist is the whole "I am leaving for the military, my car is stationed in (Random location) and I will ship it to you for free."

Not saying this is that scam, but it could be.

Just proceed very carefully. The seller can be a complete con-artist and break every law in the book and the police/dmv probably still won't give a damn.

does that one come with a few sleeveless shirts?

Autographed and unwashed sleeveless. Bandanna hanging from the rear view mirror. There is a Bon Jovi, "Slippery When Wet" cd stuck in the cd player and it only plays Living on a Prayer over and over again. I feel this just adds value to the vehicle.
