The 2012 Camry sits at a median of $11,094 in the Canadian market right now. Half of what's out there lands between $6,750 and $12,991, so that's your working range before anything gets flagged as a genuinely good price.
That's a wide spread. Roughly six grand separates the bottom of the typical range from the top, and most of that gap comes down to condition and how many kilometres are on the clock. A car near the low end usually has the wear to match. One near $12,991 is either loaded, low-mileage, or both.
What to actually pay
Use $11,094 as your anchor. Anything meaningfully under it, say the $8,000 to $9,500 zone, is worth a hard look as long as the history checks out. Above $13,000 you're paying over the top of what most of these are going for, and you'd want a specific reason for it.
The median odometer reading is 148,170 km, which tells you what a normal 2012 Camry looks like at this point. If a listing shows a lot less than that, the seller will price accordingly, and it can be worth it. A lot more than 148k, and the price should come down to match.
