Need the rundown on the 1996 V6 wagons - STAT!

[AnotherMoparman]

Hi all, this is probably the best place to get a good knowledgeable answer.

I may have an opportunity to buy a 1996 Camry V6 wagon. I need to quickly find out this car's strengths & weaknesses so I can examine it intelligently. What are people's opinions on these cars? What are it's common problems? What breaks down after miles rack up? Are parts expensive and repairs DIYable?

I'm looking for a good reliable car that can haul the wife & two kids and Golden Retriever to the lake, camping, goose hunting, lumber, cottage building supplies, etc., that handles well and gets decent mpg.

Any and all comments appreciated.

Excellent vehicle. As with all used cars, it's future depends on it's past. Has the maintenance been done? Can it be documented?
