which to buy

Hello all,
I'm looking at buying one of two toyotas. Which do you think I should buy?
1991 Camry LE 136,000 $2350
1995 Avalon XLE 198,000 $2700

I'm looking for a car that will go for another 1/5-2 years and under $3000. I found these two at local dealerships. I know the 91 has less miles, but I like the looks of the Avalon. Mechanically, which one do you think would be better? Which is a better buy?
Thanks,
E

a better buy is the one that is maintained well. Its a tough choice without us being there to gauge them in person. Those gen camrys run easy 200K miles, i've not seen an avalon with 250. so just overall perspective..i'd say the camry could last another 2 years...But all this depends on how much you drive n what you potention maint habits would be??

I would go with the avalon unless it looks as if it wouldn't last for how long you want it to.
