Damn that sucks bro. Hope you are ok. I would check cars.com also...that and autotrader are the best. Its how I found my camry at least and i was looking at a variety of cars for about 8 months and that helped me out so much.
Cars.com and Autotrader.com are you best choice as ChrisNYC stated. You can also try edmunds.com and vehix.com but they are not as good. Carmax is also a choice and it's a bit pricier compare to other dealer, but you’ll know that you’re getting a good car. If you're feeling adventurist, there's always craigslist.
I got a Gen 5 (2002 Camry 2.4L) in the family and it's a strong car with much less maintenance needed compare to my Gen 4 Camry.
My advice, stick with the 4 Cylinder gen 5. It's got a timing chain instead of the belt that the 6 has. Those 4 Cylinders are rock solid, I've taken many on trade over 200,000 miles. You don't have to be afraid to buy over 100,000, just make sure you are getting it inspected by your mechanic first.
Older Acuras have been a nightmare electronically from my experience.
Glad you are ok bro. I love my gen 5; I would also suggest a gen 5 as they are IMO the last reliable Camry made. (gen 7 has to prove itself lol) Not only that, but I've seen one (2AZ) with 280k on it and ran great. For looking where to buy one, check your local Toyota dealer just to see what they would want for one (mine was appraised at 10k-ish but it's low miles) for a "baseline" and also check Carmax and the sites mentioned above and find the one that is best for you.
And if you don't get a camry, STAY TOYOTA!!!!!

Looks nice other than the carpet looks like crap. But otherwise, it's pretty nice. It would be nice to see how many miles though......maybe you could e-mail them to find out?
