Absolutely Positively NO ZERO FEEDBACK BIDDERS. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 2 POSITIVE FEEDBACK, DO NOT BID. CAN WE SAY SCAMMER ??? If you have any questions please call 828-644-3713. I will be free this entire week, I do not have to take my elderly dad to any of his many doctor's appointments. I apologize for being difficult to reach by phone during the last listing. Ask All Questions Before You Bid- I guarantee you can reach me via phone or Ebay Messages. That means there is no excuse for not carefully examining the pictures or calling or emailing to resolve any concerns you may have. I realize I was difficult to reach via phone during the last auction, however I was busy taking my father to doctor's appointments, so I was not always in cell phone range. I will be at home over the next 7 days or in Verizon cell territory, so if you do not feel comfortable asking questions via Ebay, call. I'll answer. I keep voicemail off, but I will return your call, however I will make every effort to answer your call when you call. ****Note: If you want any additional pictures of anything, please just ask via Ebay messages- that way v. If you want undercarriage, a picture of the title, whatever, please ask. But also please understand, please ask for the pictires before you bid. Reason being, once someone bids, Ebay won't let me edit the auction further. **** ***** MANDATORY NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT: Within 24 hours of the end of the auction, I require a non-refundable deposit of $125. If there is a bid on the item when the auction ends, I owe Ebay $125 whether you pay up or not. If 24 hours passes and the deposit has not been sent, I will relist the car, and contact Ebay and any of the usless authorities I can find to report this to. I HAVE ADDED SOME INFO TO THE DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR, NEW INFO IS IN BLUE. I will be adding pictures of the box the rear brakes came in and the wheel cylinders came in too. _________________________________________________ Am I a complete newbie at Ebay ? Will the auction run its full course ? Is it available locally in Western NC ? ===== The Camry is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. If no one wants to buy it locally and come see it, yes the auction will run full course. I'm not doing this for entertainment, i just want to sell this thing, then my Cougar, and then some of the Harleys. If you have any questions please call 828-644-3713, or wish to see any further pictures of anything I've not shown, please email and ask. I do not mind you asking questions, and I encourage you to do so. If you need to pay for the vehicle with a credit card, I can accept Paypal. I am not new to Ebay, I know what I am doing, if you want to see my feedback record, Ebay Message me and I will show it to you. I'm not crossing business accounts with personal items as that is a good way to tick off your accountant. See the following videos: Click Here for Camry Video 1- Which is a Cold Start Demonstration After Not Being Run or Started for about 2 Weeks Click Here for Camry Video 2- This is a demonstration of the air conditioning working- the vehicle had just been cold started, it was put on Max AC with Recirculation and it measured at 43* Farenheit, and it will get colder. Colder than a well digger's ass, in fact.

Tires have less than 3k miles on them, with receipt to prove it. Ice Cold A/C: Within literally seconds after startup, the A/C gets down to 42 degrees Fahrenheit, and that is sitting still. Going down the road, with air flow on the condenser, you can see you breath. If you watch the first video, I prove this via the temperature probe. Tinted Windows, and Tinted Front and Rear Windshield Gas Mileage: 35mpg to 38mpg on highway, 30mpg-33mpg around town(keep tires well inflated and rotated, control your speed, stay at a consistent speed) 4 Door with White Exterior, Tan Interior Bucket Seat with Console Shift Automatic TransmissionEngine, Transmission: Have 100k miles on them currently, they were purchased as a pair from a low mileage newer Camry, and swapped in.Engine Timing Belt and Water Pump have roughly 43,000 miles on them, going back to 2010. They were changed at 6x,xxx miles by the lady who had the donor Camry. The donor Camry is still being parted out and the Prince brothers keep all the receipts they get with the cars, the 2000 Camry had right at 70k miles when we changed it out, and this white Camry had 170k miles. Doing the math, the water pump and timing belt are about 5 years or more old, and have 43k miles on them roughly. The timing belt is just a rubber belt with cogs, and has fibrous cord running through the inside of the layers of the belt for strength- so they can get old without getting a bunch of miles on them. Remember, depending on the year of your vehicle, Toyota either recommended changing the timing belt at 60,000 miles, or changing both the timing belt and the water pump at 90,000 miles. The older lady who owned the donor Camry had it changed when the vehicle had 6x,xxx miles on it, in other words sixty some thousand miles, before she was rear-ended by a Nissan Titan. Prince Brothers got the Camry from Copart and they were decent to go through the stack of paper work that came with the car and was stuck in the glove box. These Camrys are safe though, she got hit at high speed and the frame barely buckled, but the trunk lid, taillights, and bumper cover and rubber bumper liner were crunched good. She drove it home with the rear wheels hopping though.... Serpentine Belt aka Engine Accessory Belt(drive belt for alternator, A/C, etc)- were changed out in late 2012, I will edit and post the brand today. Re-manufactured Alternator with 40k milesI am in the process of putting on new plugs and wires. NGK Plugs, Denso Wires. I had bought them and never put them on. I was going to give them to "forabdul", but he turned out to be one of those overpayment scammers. Clear Title- No Accidents, No Wrecks, No Body Damage . No Body Repairs. No Frame Repairs, No Rust. Engine Oil and Filter Changed Currently: Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w-30, Bosch FilterTransmission Screen and Filter: Cleaned and Changed 25k miles- Toyota FilterTransmission Fluid Sucked Out and Changed 25k miles ago: Toyota Brand T-IV Automatic Fluid Engine, Transmission, CV Axles: 100k miles- have receipts for changeover and swapShocks(Struts and Coils but you get the point) Suspension Bushings, Tie Rod Ends: 40k miles since being replaced. Front Brakes have 40k miles since last changed Rear brakes are new, new wheel cylinders- Wearever Silver Shoes, New Wagner Wheel Cylinders Body has been used 205,000 milesDriver Side Outer CV Boot Replaced and CV Repacked Defects: Windshield is cracked, driver side front door handle has crack but this does not impact the ability to open the door. The paint is scuffed in 3 places on the plastic bumper, there are dings from 18 years of driving and parking. The dome light bulb is burned out. The carpet is worn but can be shampooed or cleaned, as I've done previously. The car has a new carsmell currently from the seats being cleaned recently, so that'd be an added benefit to cleaning the carpet. Beyond that, I am not aware of any defects or parts needing replaced. Why Am I Selling It ? I bought the car to commute with, I was going down I-85 on a weekly basis and racking up miles. I had the engine and transmission and CV's changed out and they now have around 100k miles on them. I no longer commute, I have 2006 Trailblazer, a 2008 Toyota Yaris, another 2008 Toyota Yaris, a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500HD, a 1996 Mercury Cougar and any proceeds from the sale of this vehicle will go into the brake overhaul on my International Loadstar 1600 Dump Truck. In other words, I'm car poor. So, I'm not dumping it because it's a lemon. I'm not trying to get rid of a problem child. I'm out of space to park cars. Even on our 100acre farm, it is a pain in the behind to find a place to park, so this Camry and the Cougar and probably some others are going to go. Buy it and drive until it reaches 500,000 miles. I am not joking. It's a Toyota, built with the bullet proof, high MPG 5SFE 2.2 4 Cylinder, the transmission has always been serviced with Toyota Fluid and Toyota Filter/Screen changes. See above for detailed specs. Terms of Sale: To Zero Feedback Bidders: DO NOT BID. PERIOD. I DO NOT WANT YOUR BID. I DO NOT NEED THE HEADACHE, HASSLE, AND $125 IN EBAY FEES YOU COST ME AND YOU HAVE NO INTENTION TO COVER, AS YOU HAVE NO INTENTION TO BUY THE CAR OR PAY THE DEPOSIT. Ask all questions before you bid. After you've bid, it's too late. It screws up my buy-it-now, it causes other bidders distrust, and it really pisses me off. Note on Price: Whatever you bid is what you are going to pay. A bid is commitment to pay that amount, it isn't a starting point for negotiation. So whatever you bid is whatever you will pay. I will not renegotiate the price after the auction is over, ask all questions before you bid, and I highly recommend you examine any purchase you're going to make- not just this car but any purchase- in person before you bid. Base your beliefs about this vehicle on the pictures that are there, ask any questions about things you're not sure about, if you want to see a picture of something to clarify its condition, just ask. That said, don't fantasize about the car, come look at it, or examine the pictures and ask questions so that you bid on reality and not on well wishes. Bid with the knowledge that I am honoring what I have stated in the auction, so you are expected to honor your bid. If you show up and start renegotiating, I am going to regretfully ask you to leave, and then I'll have to relist the car again. Acceptable Forms of Payment: All Payment Methods Require a Non-refundable deposit of $125 due within 24 hours of the end of the auction, via Paypal. (Don't like that ? Tell Ebay to not charge an automatic $120+ for fees on selling a car- they won't listen to sellers, but they'll listen to bidders. Because when the bidders quit bidding, Ebay will change.) I will accept, after the deposit has been made: Cash, Cashiers Check, Money Order or Paypal only under the following conditions, and read, R-E-A-D carefully: I can accept Paypal payment with no additional fees so long as it is made as a gift. If you don't have the funds neccessary to make the payment as a gift(they won't accept a credit card for a gift), and you need to pay via credit card- you eat the 3.5% fees paypal charges. All Payment Methods Require a Non-refundable deposit of $125 due within 24 hours of the end of the auction, via Paypal. (Don't like that ? Tell Ebay to not charge an automatic $120+ for fees on selling a car- they won't listen to sellers, but they'll listen to bidders. Because when the bidders quit bidding, Ebay will change.) Terms for Payment: Cash Payment: The remainder can be paid via cash within 7 days of the end of the auction. Cashiers Check/Money Order: If you pay via cashiers check, money order payment needs to be submitted within 5 business days of the end of the auction. It will take 7 days for a cashiers check/money order payment to clear. So the quicker you send payment, the quicker it clears, and the quicker you can come get it. If take your time to send a cashiers check/money order, it will take however long to arrive in me, I will have to deposit it, and then it takes up to 7 days to clear. Once its clear, you can come get the car. PAYPAL: If you wish to pay with Paypal, either pay the balance as a gift, or if you do not have the funds and need to pay via credit card- plan on adding 3.5% to the cost of the car. Paypal steals 3.5% processing fee from sellers, and I'm not eating it. The cost of convenience for you not to have to get a cashiers check or money order or cash is 3.5%. Don't want to pay 3.5% to use Paypal ? Me neither. Pay via cash, cashiers check, or money order. Shipping & Pickup: I am not a dealer, and I do not currently have a tag or insurance on this vehicle for you to drive it home on. You'll need to trailer it or get your own tag and insurance.If you choose to have the vehicle shipped to you, I can take the vehicle out to US Highway 64 and meet the vehicle shipper there for easier pickup. ***** I had someone ask me about the free version of Carfax that Ebay does. I looked through it, and it's pretty well bullshit. I used to buy and sell Mopar Muscle Cars heavily- check my AppalachianMachineTool account(originally vme2mopars). In NC/TN/GA/AL etc- if you buy or sell more than so many cars in a year you have to pay for a dealer license. I had to do that, and it shows my Camry as being at auction because I used a dealer tag. Also, if you look at the bumper, you'll notice that there is paint crinkled and scuffed- the stuff I mention in the description. That is the so called accident report on their report, which had to be done because the person who scuffed up the bumper was not a legal citizen of the United States, he also blew over .08, and the cop that was following his swerving ass saw him tap my bumper and made a report of it. Which was bullshit because the guy was not a legal resident, had no DL, had no insurance, and all it did is cause the damn mark on my vehicle report. Also, they're crazier than hell on the mileage they're reporting. I was working at Asurion in Smyrna TN(yeah, the assholes who screwed you on your cellphone insurance) and commuting there and then to Alabama. I also lived in Baton Rouge and went to school at LSU briefly, which is how I acquired it and it made it to TN. I was also dumb enough to let a former significant other title it in her name for a while in TN so she could build up her credit. But the mileages they have and the rest of the information is off. And I know the same thing happens with Carfax. Carfax had to pay me a couple $$$$ because one of my Trailblazers- according to Carfax- had no accident history and had never been a rental- well, it was a rental and had had the front bumper cover replaced. They paid up, but Carfax and these services are doggone near useless.**** Photo Gallery - click to enlarge
