Used value estimate
2008 Toyota Camry value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2008 Toyota Camry in good condition with average mileage (about 225,000 miles) is worth roughly $3,900 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $3,600 to $4,200, or about $4,500 at a dealer. Note: 2008 is a flagged year for this model (2007–2009) — 2.4L oil consumption from piston rings — the one genuinely common Camry engine complaint. Verify oil level and history. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.
