I have a 94 Toyota Camry Wagon i recently necroed from my driveway.
It was sitting there since 2004.
It had a crushed oil pan, bent pump, and blown fuses.
Fixed them all, fuses were blown due to somebody putting them in wrong.
coughmycousincough.

I plan on selling it to help me get a jump on getting a 240sx.
What should i do to to get it ready to sell?

On my list so far is, change all the fluids, new spark plugs, filters, vaccuum it out, wash and clean out the body.

Also how much you guys think i can get for it?
Only things that are wrong with it:
Clear coat on top of car is peeling a bit, cig lighter doesnt work, and teeny tiny rust spot on windshield corner.
Interior is in almost perfect condition.

Brakes and tires are fine, no flat spots on the tires so thats good too and they have plenty of tread left on them.
and the brake pads have plenty of pad left.

also i need a new bulb for the right headlight and new windshield wipers.

What engine? What transmission? What trim? ABS? Moonroof? Options?

Never know m8, a crushed sump, if it gets crushed the right way can actually lead or slosh oil away from the pickup if it gets the right chance to do it. That leads to momentary starvation. Have a look around for signs of this.

All i know is its a V6, Auto, cant remember what trim means.
ABS no idea, i havent looked too much into it.
No moonroof, and it has cassette player, power antenna, power seats, power seat belts, power windows.

If it wasnt a wagon id be driving it myself.


@Joey:
Aite, ill check it out when i can this weekend, no work means lots of free time.
erm well dont know how much of it will be free, i have so much stuff to catch up on.

I'll give it benefit of the doubt and pretend it has ABS and nice wheels, and assuming you didn't wash and wax it every month it was sitting out there, and the fact that you had to do repairs to it, I gave it an "average" rating. Here's what Edmunds spit out:


1994 Toyota Camry LE V6 4dr Wagon
Trade-In: $974
Private Party: $1,468
Dealer Retail: $2,312
