Well i'm looking to say bye to my 2002 rx300 and wondering if this is a good deal.

Nice Camry but I won't spend over $20k for a Camry over 42k miles.

This one doesn't have as many options as your example but ha navigation and only 22k miles: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e&rdpage=thumb

This one with navigation and 13k less miles than your example:

Good luck with your shopping

The only reason i like the camry that i listed is because of those TRD wheels. they look really good on that SE

those are really nice wheels. not sure why you want to go from RX to Camry though.

$16000 max.

that thing should've lost almost half its value by now. it's almost 3 years old, and has a wussy warranty. 3000 miles only.

wheels should be no reason to buy it.
you can find similar or better looking aftermarket wheels

Agreed. It's overpriced for that kind of mileage. Average mileage is around 12,000 miles a year.

And I would avoid aftermarket wheels, period, for a number of reasons.
