The median 2007 Toyota Matrix in Canada sits at $6,500. That's your anchor. If a seller is asking well above it, they need a reason you can point to, and if a car is priced below it, there's usually a story in the odometer or the history.
The typical range runs from $5,000 to $15,000, which is wide. Most of what you'll pay lands closer to the $5,000 end, near that $6,500 median. The listings pushing toward $15,000 are outliers, so treat anything in the double digits as a car that has to justify the premium with low kilometres or documented work.
What the numbers say about paying up
Median mileage for these is around 130,000 km. A Matrix sitting near that figure and near the $6,500 median is a plain, fair trade. Find one meaningfully under 130,000 and you've got a real reason to consider paying above median. Above 130,000, hold the line at or below $6,500.
