I've seen a '94 advertised at $3400. I wouldn't sell my '86 (72,000 miles and impeccibly maintained) for less than $2800. BTW, where are you from?

Does it have complete maintenance records that you can review? Best determinant of what kind of a car you're getting is how it has been serviced.

Well, he offered me the receipts for all the recent new-parts purchases because they might be needed for warranty purposses. I haven't asked if he has proof of oil changes and like, but I have no reason to doubt that they were done.

What's the price the seller is asking??

How about accidents? get the VIN and go to

Have a mechanic that knows camrys look at it, do a compression test , ck plug condition, and pull the valve covers. You can tell alot with tests and looks.
