To choose your Camry, you have to know exactly where your priorities lie. My 1990 V6 Camry (5-speed, not auto) has been absolutely bullet-proof for the five years I've owned it (it's at around 244,000miles now). So they don't all have problems...however, the Gen3 Camrys look much less "vintage" and so if cosmetics/prestige are in any way important to you then it's a more attractive option.
If you can set prestige aside, and base your decision solely upon anticipated reliability, then the 1991 V6 is probably the better buy. The 3VZ-FE engines found in the 92 V6 Camrys seem to be somewhat less reliable than the 2VZ-FE found in the 91. I keep seeing blown 92 or 93 or 94 engines, but I've yet to see a seized 89 or 90 or 91. I worked at a wrecker for three years until this summer, so I saw my fair share of both generations.
I hope this helps you, and doesn't raise more questions than it answers!

Wow, that's like the end of an era. You had some good inside scoops on parts there. Where you working at now?
AND they actually have a GT-S Celica like the one I just bought. As for the Camry, see the thread I'm starting re" body work...
