Found an 89' Camry with 84K actual...

[93CamryLEV6]

Found a local 89' Camry w/84K actual miles I am thinking of buying. They are asking $2700 - its listed as one owner, garage kept in EC. Seems like alot for an 89' but this seems like very low miles for one of these. All of my late 80s Camrys had over 200K. Should I even consider it at this price?

Thanks!

My '88 LE is about to hit 84K, but I wouldn't sell it for much more than $2.5K.

If it needs struts and a timing belt, then offer less. On the other hand, if all maintenance is up to date and it's dealer maintained, or close to it, its probably worth it...but it has to be turn key and no strings attached.

Is it an LE model??

Thanks for those tips. I will find out about the timing belt and struts. I hope it still has a soft and supple ride. My 87' base Camry did.

About it being an "LE", I am not sure yet. That was not mentioned in the ad. I hope it is, because if it is a base or "DX" model, I will pass on it. I had two late 80s Camrys and as luck would have it, both were the very base models, which I really did not like. They had A/C, AM-FM-cassette, tilt, etc, but the trim was plain, ya know? I did finally get a 93' Camry after I had those, that was actually a LE V6 model. I still regret selling that car. I sold it because it needed new struts (they had collapsed and weakened) and the car had a harsh ride. New struts were $$$, so I sold it. Now I wish I had of just replaced them.

Getting back to my older Camrys- I liked the cars, but I did not like how plain they were. I always wanted a top of the line (at the time) "LE" model, but never was able to find one when I was looking for one. I was really wanting a 92-99 Camry, but all of the 92-96s I have found have oil leaks (as does my aunts 93' Camry) and I have not found a 97-99 that has suited me yet in the price I want to pay. If I get a 97-99, I want an "XLE" model.

Thanks again!
