Selling a used Toyota Camry: XV70, XV80 and rideshare kilometres

A hybrid Camry is now the standard Camry, not a niche version. Toyota stopped taking orders for the petrol Camry in June 2024, and the XV80 that arrived that September is sold only as a hybrid. Rideshare use has no set discount that anyone can honestly quote, because buyers price what it leaves behind: the kilometres, the wear and the service record.

This guide is for anyone selling a 2021 or newer Camry, especially rideshare drivers. It covers how to tell an XV70 from an XV80, what a petrol Ascent means for your sale, what buyers check on a high-kilometre Camry, and how to time a sale around 100,000 km.

Which Camry do you have: XV70 or XV80?

Most Camrys sold new between 2021 and the 2024 changeover are the XV70 generation in its facelifted form. Toyota launched that update in April 2021 and, according to CarExpert, dropped the V6 at the same time, so a Camry sold new in early 2021 may be the earlier version. The XV80, an all-new Camry, launched in Australia in September 2024 and is sold only as a hybrid.

The SX didn’t carry over to the XV80. At launch, the XV80 ran from $39,990 for the Ascent to $53,990 for the SL, before on-road costs. Those are new-car list prices, not a guide to what your car is worth.

When you describe your Camry, give the generation and grade as well as the year. A Camry first registered in late 2024 could be either generation, and build dates and rego dates don’t always match. If you’re unsure, check the original purchase paperwork, or ask a Toyota dealer to look the car up by its VIN.

Petrol Ascent or hybrid: what does a buyer compare?

On the XV70 facelift, petrol was only offered on the base Ascent: a 2.5-litre four-cylinder making 152kW and 243Nm with an eight-speed automatic. The Ascent was also sold as a hybrid, and every other grade used the 160kW hybrid.

On 5 June 2024, Toyota Australia announced it was closing orders for the petrol Camry, along with petrol versions of the RAV4, Kluger, Corolla and Corolla Cross. That means every petrol Camry on the market now is second-hand.

For a buyer, the clearest difference is running cost. CarExpert reported claimed fuel use of 6.8L/100km for the petrol Ascent and 4.2 to 4.7L/100km for the hybrids, depending on grade. That gap matters most to people who drive long distances.

None of this sets a price on its own. A buyer prices the exact car: generation, grade, petrol or hybrid, kilometres, condition and history. If yours is a petrol Ascent, say so at the start, because a buyer who assumes every Camry is a hybrid will ask anyway.

Does rideshare use lower a Camry’s value?

The Camry’s link with rideshare is no secret: in May 2024, CarsGuide called it “a favourite with rideshare drivers”. We know of no reliable published figure for what that work does to a Camry’s value, so be wary of anyone who quotes one. What a buyer can see and check is what rideshare leaves behind.

The first is kilometres. The ABS’s last Survey of Motor Vehicle Use, covering the year to 30 June 2020, put the average passenger vehicle at 11,100 km a year. Rideshare shifts add distance on top of everyday driving, so an ex-rideshare Camry often sits well above that average.

The second is wear where passengers and long shifts touch the car: the rear seats, rear door handles and trims, the driver’s seat bolster, the steering wheel and the carpets. The third is servicing. A high reading with every service done on time is a very different car from the same reading with gaps in the logbook.

Honesty works in your favour. Rideshare wear is easy to spot at an inspection, and a car described as lightly used that turns out otherwise is the kind whose offer gets revised. Describe it straight, for example: “Ex-rideshare, 94,000 km, serviced on time at a Toyota dealer, both keys.” Our guide on whether service history affects car value explains why the records do so much of the work.

What does a buyer check on an ex-rideshare Camry?

Most of the inspection is the same as for any Camry. These are the points that get a closer look when a buyer knows, or suspects, the car has done rideshare work.

Take out anything you fitted for driving work before the inspection, unless you’re happy to leave it with the car. A dash cam with its wiring tucked away neatly is better than a dangling cable, but a clean, empty cabin is better still. Remove your toll tag and unpair your phone from the infotainment system while you’re at it.

What rideshare paperwork should you finish first?

Rideshare is regulated state by state, and the steps when you stop driving or sell the car differ.

In Victoria, a car has to be registered with Safe Transport Victoria as a commercial passenger vehicle (CPV) before it’s used for rideshare. That’s separate from its VicRoads registration. While a car is registered as a CPV, its plate number and service type show on the CPV Public Register, which anyone can search by plate. Safe Transport Victoria says that if you no longer need the CPV registration or have sold the vehicle, you can surrender the CPV registration online through its user portal. Once you do, the plate no longer appears on the register.

In other states and territories, check with the point-to-point or booked hire regulator what to change or cancel when the car is sold. Then work through the practical steps:

1. Remove the car from your vehicle list in each driver app you use.
2. Keep the car insured until it’s handed over, then cancel or change the policy, including any rideshare cover.
3. Finish the sale paperwork your state requires as the seller.
4. Keep copies of everything, including the date and time of handover.

Is your Camry Hybrid part of the instrument cluster recall?

The recall to check first is REC-006390, published on 22 July 2025. It covers 69,586 Toyotas built from 2022 to 2025, and the Camry Hybrid is among the models listed, along with the RAV4, Kluger and Corolla. A memory device inside the instrument cluster can deteriorate, and when it does, the display can stay blank. The fix is a software update.

A blank instrument display is hard to explain away on a test drive or at an inspection, and dealers check for open recalls. Recall work is free at a Toyota dealer, so book it before you sell. On a rideshare car it’s also worth doing for its own sake, because you rely on that display every shift.

How to check:

1. Find the VIN on your rego papers.
2. Enter it in the government’s recall search at vehiclerecalls.gov.au.
3. Ask a Toyota dealer to check the VIN for open recalls and service campaigns too.
4. Keep the job card once the work is done.

Check the VIN whichever Camry you have. Recall lists change, and no list in a guide is complete. Our guide to checking for open recalls before you sell walks through the search step by step.

When should a rideshare driver sell before 100,000 km?

If you plan to sell within the year, selling before the odometer passes 100,000 km keeps more buyers in play, including our own buying range. Nothing mechanical happens at that number, but some buyers set limits there. Our guide to selling before 100,000 km explains why.

The catch for rideshare drivers is speed. At rideshare distances, the gap between “plenty of time” and “just crossed it” can close in a few months.

Worked example (hypothetical numbers): a Camry Ascent Hybrid shows 82,000 km in October 2026, leaving 18,000 km before 100,000. Here’s how long that lasts at different monthly averages:

To find your monthly average, divide your current reading by the months since the car was first registered. If your hours have changed lately, use the last few months of your own records instead. Then work backwards:

• Get an offer first. Find out where you stand before you order a replacement, so the numbers are real.
• Line up the handover. Every day without a car is a day without fares, so time collection for when your next car is ready.
• Allow for finance. If there’s a loan and you sell to us, we deal with your lender directly, and settlement usually takes 2 to 3 business days.
• Don’t park the car to save kilometres. Rego, insurance and repayments keep running, and so does the lost income.

If you’ve already passed 100,000 km, the number is behind you and the service record carries more weight. Send the car through to us anyway and we’ll tell you straight away if we can help. If we can’t, our guide to selling a car older than 2021 or over 100,000 km sets out the other routes.

Getting a genuine offer on your Camry

Once you know your generation, grade and engine, have your service records together and have checked the recall, you can decide how to sell. A private sale means explaining the kilometres to every caller and handling payment yourself. Selling to a licensed dealer means one buyer, one inspection and no strangers test-driving your car.

Sell Your Car Australia is run by Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd, a NSW licensed motor dealer (MD 077404), with a valuer who has priced cars since 1992 and supplies dealerships nationwide. We buy Camrys that are 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less, petrol or hybrid, XV70 or XV80.

You get a genuine offer by phone, not an online estimate. The deposit is often paid the same day, and the inspection happens after you accept, at a time and place that suits you. The balance goes into your bank account, and the car is collected only after you confirm the funds have cleared.

We prepare the sale paperwork, help with the transfer of ownership and arrange collection anywhere in Australia. Usually no roadworthy or safety certificate is needed when you sell to us; rules differ by state and we confirm on the call. The valuation is free, there’s no obligation and no fees come out of the offer.

Our page on selling your Camry has the details, or you can request a free valuation or call us on 1800 73 55 73.
