I'd like to sell my car to a dealership later this month. I'm wondering if the mileage of the car hurt me.

I've had the car for 26 months so, I'm guessing I have the average mileage for a two year-old vehicle (12k-15k per year). I'm considering selling my car to a dealer but, I'm afraid I'll get a lower offer b/c it's a 2005.

It's a little high. Average would be between 12K and 15k miles per year.

The '04 Focus has gotten a lot more reliable than when the Focus line started back in '00. The Corolla has always been king of cheap reliability though. While both cars are in the same class, getting decent mileage and reliability, the Corolla would still be better in those two, by a bit. However, with a Corolla, it's not anywhere close to being as fun, and it's much slower than the Focus from what I remember when driving them. The Focus is a lot more sporty in terms of acceleration and handling, though, I might be wrong about acceleration, but it sure felt a lot faster way back when my brother had one. So, if you enjoy spirited driving, get a Focus. If it's all about gas and reliability go with the Corolla.

Hey it's a toyota... It will last forever. I sold my 1993 toyota camry with 225,000 ,miles on it for 2200.00 I say sell it to an individual if you can and then put that money towards a down payment. It really is the best way to go. The trade in is meerly paperwork, it never reflects an actually money taken off the price of the new vechicle. Just my opinion. Good luck...oo yeah.. btw... I sold the camry in 2001.

you probably will be told that the mileage is too high; make sure that your car is as perfect as possible in every other aspect--clean as can be and running perfectly, good tires, etc. that way, you can still demand a decent price for it. fyi, you will almost always get more if you sell it yourself versus taking it to a dealer. but of course it can be much more convenient to take it to a dealer and use it as a trade, etc. good luck! p.s. make sure you check Blue Book value (www.kbb.com) and also you could get the information from Toyota as far as how much mileage it should have, etc.

It's a little high. I always base mileage with the average usage being 12-15k a year.

They will tell you that is a lot and they will try to give you almost nothing. Sell it privately, you will get more money, probably.
33k is not a lot, if you can show they are highway miles. But if they are from racing or city, then the tear and wear can be a lot.

12,000 miles a year is average per vehicle (cars) Not those 18 wheelers going down the highway.

Yes, mileage is high. It's not a big deal though, but they will say it is to low ball you. Just sell it yourself.
