KBB is 5 to 7gs? I have a 4 cylinder 01 Toyota Tachoma with 60K on
it, serviced at the dealer every 5K in excellent condition. Strangers
keep asking me if I want to sell it and even the dealer sent me a
letter offering me 7500. I also have a 01 Lincoln Continental that
sits in the garage with a car cover on it, has 52000 miles on it,
serviced at the dealer every 5K and came stock with a Ford Cobra 298
HP engine in it and yet KB puts the value at 6K. Because of the mint
condition I think I could get 7500 and if I was real lucky maybe 10K.
I live in, and my market area is in Santa Barbara, a city where
everything seems to cost more, and where MBZ, BMWs, and Land Rovers
are a dime a dozen. So I am kind of skeptical that a 02 Camery with
quarter of a million miles on it, that needs work, is going to be
worth 5 to 7K, or even 2700, and if I were you I would grab that offer.

Wow....
I got an offer of "upto" $2700 for it from some on line
place...the KBB is between 5 and 7k, I put it at the low-end due
to two dents in the plastic bumpers.
For a "few hundred dollars" I would donate it to charity or give it away.

Kelly Blue Book is fine if you have a 5 year or less old car but
there is nothing like real world ads to see what others are
asking. Check Craigs list and Ebay Motors for your particular
location. Read those ads every day for your particular car and it
won't be long before you know it's value.
With that kind of mileage, if it needs any work at all you will
be lucky to get an offer. Even if everything works and there is
nothing need doing the mileage will frighten off 99 percent of
buyers unless you have something like a pickup truck, which are
always saleable, or a MBZ , PORCHE or some other esoteric
vehicle, or a classic like a
69 Dodge Charger R/X.
Other then that you will probably sell to some guy with a few
hundred dollars who needs a reliable car to drive to work and
back.... assuming yours is a reliable running car. If somebody
offered me anything for a car with that kind of mileage I would
take it. And if you find you can't sell it and just need to get
rid of it there is always salvage.
