I am jumping over from the corrola forum to ask you guys if you would buy a 1994 camry v6 with 250,000 miles? are there any problems with this model ? has a preety clean body, seems to run ok, but the millage scares me. gey wants 2000.00.

It's not worth $2000 with 250k miles on the clock unless the body and interior is PERFECT. The 94-96 camry had the 1mz-fe v6 engine with an oil cooler (which was later removed for the 97 model year). It's pretty dang peppy and trouble free if it's taken care of. Keep an eye on those head gaskets and be sure to try to check for sludge with that kind of milage.

I would offer no more than $1,000 for that mileage without seeing it.

I use Wayne Mi and 250K miles on a 94 LE V6 on www.edmunds.com and got:

True Market Value®
Trade-in $180
Private Party Sale $569
Dealer Retail $1,222

I think private party sale is still too high. I'll pay $200. And that's being generous.

$1,500 i'd say is decent MAXIMUM price (without seeing the car, of course). I'd shoot around $750-$1100 if possible.

I wouldnt pay that for a 94 camry with v6 and 250k

I would offer $1000.00 cash highest offer. if its OEM miles, your going to have to probably get new mains and rod bearings for sure. They only last around that max.

I just replaced the mains and rod bearings on my 92 LE a couple months ago .. it had 212,000 miles. just sayin

if its rusty, forget it
