New Camry, I4 with low miles or V6 with higher miles?

[xylium]

Hello All! I'm going to be getting a newer Camry and putting my ol 94 with 234,000 miles up for sale. I know the reliability of my years but I don't know too much about the new ones. I have two good choices I'm looking at. A 2002 SE I4 3 year lease and 3 years 1 owner with 94,000 miles for $9000 or a 2002 SE V6 with 159,000 miles and one owner for $8000. I thought I heard the V6 had a couple more problems than the I4. It's only about 60,000 more miles but it's $1000 cheaper, more power, leather with heated seats and sunroof (not sure if the I4 has a sunroof). Both have spoilers, fog lamps, and alloy wheels. How do these newer cars hold up? Any and all information would be fantastic.

Thanks,
Robert

Both are great cars, but 60,000 miles is quite a difference.

If both are valued properly, have been maintained properly, and are in good condition, I'd go with the I4.

I would get the one with lower mileage. Despite it being a v4, with gas prices going the way they are, it might not be a bad idea.

If you don't personally know the owner, you don't know if they abused it.

You might want to take a mechanic with you to check it out before you purchase it.

It's not a v4, it's an I4.

Quit drinking and posting...
