    What is it worth?

    I'm wondering how much the following car would be worth...

    1998 Toyota Corolla
    - 180,000kms (110,000miles)
    - Automatic
    - Dealer maintained since new (its been in my fiances family since new)
    - A few minor scratches/dents, otherwise in good condition overall

    My fiances uncle is selling the car and im debating buying, and i'm just wondering what would be a fair price. Thanks!

    I know its not a CE, but I can't remember if it was a VE or LE. I probably should have asked a few more questions eh? :p

    It certainly is. The cars we have here are a joke as well. Japan and Europe always get the good stuff.

    Actually, if it's in mint condition, 5-6k. I cross checked that between kbb and from auto sales ads.

    "mint" has lost its meaning i think, there should be a term, like "spearmint" for the used but still in great condition

    Ok, let me clarify. Mint meaning looks brand new with original paint, washed, polished, waxed, no accidents, runs well, regardless of the mileage.
