I'm sure it's been posted before, getting ready to buy a 95 camry. but I've researched some problems and looking for you guys to tell me what other things to look out for. so far I've found that the power window on drivers side won't work on the vehicle, and they say it a pain to replace, Why!. Next I'll have to replace a drivers side fender & side marker along with headlight ( a deer wanted to take a closer look I'm told) I'll be second owner, engine appears to be good minor oil leak. and the radiator been replaced already. the rest appears to be fine, I'm told the brakes wear fast on these vehicles, and what else. The interior I have to say looks mint condition, new tires ( approx 6000mi.) No rust and rest of the vehicle looks good. It has 130k on it and has been serviced often. So guys there it is, I also would like to see a break down of door panel so I don't screw anything up inside. Any tricks of the trade out there? Thanks again for the help.
Regards:

how much would u be paying for this car?
im pretty sure u could get a camry in nearly mint condition for $2k-3k ... heck, you can have mine for $2750 and it just needs an a/c compressor!

in terms of the window motors or whatever, those break on alot of camry's - i had some of mine replaced at a dealership for a somewhat reasonable fee

the "minor oil leak" u might want to check out more carefully ... those can be no big deal, or pretty big problems ... depends on where the leak is

if the radiator has been replaced, you might want to ask why - there couldve been a more serious problem they were trying to diagnose

my breaks on my 95 Camry dont wear down fast at all ... in fact, nothing wears down fast in my car come to think of it - Gen 3 Camrys are pretty durable

what engine? that willl dertermine our opinion on price as well. the window motors are as hard to replace as most cars. easy just time consuming. oil leeks are inevitable, Venom is right though, it all depends where the leak is. also, ask weather the owner ever went from using regular oil to synthetic, that will cause small leaks. if u can, teke a look at the undercarrage abd trunk sills and varify there theres no rust and that the bushings are in ok condition.

most important, if u test drive it... test EVEYRTHING. i.e. locks, windows(that work), trunk, gas door, ebrake, hood release, ect.

ask if the timing belt was replaced. if not, its due to. just check the normal things on cars. check the CV boots on the front axels to make sure they arent broken. as long as normal maintenance is done, these cars are pretty much bullet proof.

welcome to the board! where in ohio are you?
