| I am buying used car and saw a Camry today being sold by private seller. It has an issue with AC and bad flow sensor, possibly will need compressor changed? Is this a big fix that will have costly repair bill? |

| Unless deep discount I’d pass. If you are really interested take it to mechanic you trust. |

| What year is the Camry and how many miles on it? That fix doesn’t sound too bad. |

My cautious thought would be that I would have expected the seller to do the simple fix so that the AC was working before posting for sale. My cynical guess is that he/she got a fat quote to fix it (replace compressor, fix other parts, recharge). At that point, they decided to just sell it.
You need to pay $50 to your mechanic to spend half an hour looking it over, at the least. On the other hand, I have bought cars like this in the past but never for more than $2000. I'm guessing this is not one of those. |

Op here it’s a 2012 Camry with 28k miles asking price was 11.5 but due to AC issue willing to sell for 10.5

Whoa‼️ I wouldn’t pay that much even though it is a Toyota™️. Plus the low mileage is very suspicious too. Do not purchase this money pit. I find that when sensors are defective >> the repairs can be very co$tly. Why would an eight-year old vehicle have such low mileage?? |

I have a 15-year old car with just 55,000 miles. I use it just to get to the Metro garage on weekdays and for weekend errands. |
