The median 2016 Toyota Corolla in the Canadian market sits at $16,200. Most of them land between $14,496 and $17,496, so that $3,000 spread is your working negotiation window. Anything at the low end had better have the kilometres or condition to justify it, and anything near $17,496 needs to be clean and well-documented to earn the top of the range.
The typical car on the market has about 90,000 km on it. That's your baseline. Use it as the anchor when a seller's odometer reading is either well under or well over that mark, because the price should move with it.
What mileage does to the price
Every extra 10,000 km knocks roughly $489 off what you should pay. So a Corolla with 120,000 km, 30,000 above the median, is worth around $1,470 less than one sitting at the 90,000 mark, all else equal. Flip it the other way and a 60,000 km example carries a real premium. When two cars are priced the same but one has 40,000 more klicks, that gap is close to $2,000 of value you're not getting.
