Kevlight.The sentra is likely to fetch about $1500 on a good day the Corolla $2000 on a good day based on the mileage and your description of condition. BUT--if planning on keeping the corolla I'd budget $800 spend on it. The $800 is to replace the 23 year old cambelt and cam/crank seals .

I won't argue with kabanz as he has huge knowledge and experience, but I was surprised by such a low value on Corolla. Have helped a couple of people find cars in 2-3000 bracket and they would have jumped at that. Is it NZ new and does car jam and other history back such suspiciously low miles? If it does and condition is in keeping I think it's worth more. These are hugely popular cheapies.
I guess though it is price difference that matters. Same questions with Sentra, original miles? Be most unusual! Toyota is worth more, they're are more popular and sought after.

if those kms are correct I would market the Toyota for 3k in sentra $2500

Could someone value my car too please? 1991 Toyota Corolla sedan.
230 km, 5 speed, 1600cc.
NZ new No rust or accident damage Good economy Very tidy throughout Towbar Starts and runs perfectly and quietly. All expensive maintenance stuff done in last 30k (new water pump, radiator, cam belt, full service etc)
The Klms are correct i can vouch for that both cars are immaculate inside, and both have few minor scratches out side, we have three other vehicle, and the little red Sentra s only comes out on grocery day and sewing days it was last used for a long trip to help pick up my Citroen CX ;we had been on holiday around the South Island in it a few years ago ,it travels well for a 1300. . the Toyota is owned by her parents and are elderly and do not drive any more, but even when they did it was only to the Doctor ,Groceries and Library . very limited use on each, and both cars low owners (2) and very low mileage ; that should be worth a few $ when we come to sell the Sentra ?

kevlight--Im thinking Auckland prices of course so you can add $500 ish being country. Keep in mind guys --these are 23 and 26 year old cars we are talking about here.

it's $1500 - $1750 and if it looks as good as the pics you have posted on the link, I would say up to $2000 to the right person. (valuation by experienced dealer).

you did note the k's didn't you toby? 230000k's and 91 I got less than you are saying for a 1995 with the same k's
tgray,
May 15, 3:43am
Yes mate I did. The K's are what you would expect for 24 year old car. I should have said, my estimate is based on a classified sale only. A well written one with good pics. A dollar reserve would probably only fetch $1200 - 1400. Lets face it, a banged up one with a WOF is probably worth $1000. This one is a lot better than that.

You would have to knock $1,000 off itsbutters Corolla, what with the Mazda Mags and all. Its no longer a real Toyota.
Those are some hi quality pics itsbutters

That's good news.-I like being proven wrong in this sort of situation. Do report back when you have the money . PLEASE--for your sake don't allow the vehicle off your property until c of o is completed

Yep that makes sense. There are people who will value a corolla highly and a good one is worth paying extra for. Probably get $2500 in golden bay!

It was a really good example. Only owes me for a few oil changes, brake pads and a couple of tyres over the last two years/20k. Good old Toyotas!
