Camry questions

My 1991 Honda Civic died an early death when the water pump siezed.
Should have had 25K more before the T-belt needed replacing but that
is life.

I have a chance to buy a one owner 1993 Camry with 175K for just under
3K. The car is one owner and appears to have been maintained. The
original
owners manual is still in place. I have tracked the original owner
down but he is out of town until Wednesday afternoon.

One point that concerns me is crude under the oil cap. The oil, on the
dip
stick, is not new but shows no sign of abuse. Tranny ATF fluid is
clean with
no smell. There are no obvious oil leaks. Starts fast, it had been
sitting for 4
days in 20F weather Body has no rust and doesn't appear to have any
damage
and I will get the credit union to run car fax wednesday morning.

Anything I should be taking a hard look at?

Thanks

Terry

Different situation altogether, Scott. You already OWN your car, having
bought it some years ago, and you've probably already gotten your money's
worth from it, so any miles you put on it now are icing on the cake.
You're also familiar with most or all of the car's quirks and know what you
have replaced on it, and what trouble spots may be lurking in the future
(although in fact we can't ever know what's going to on the fritz tomorrow,
whether it's a 15 year old car or one driven off the showroom floor last
week.)
But if you were offered a '92 Corolla with 205 K miles on it by a perfect
stranger, how much would you risk on this unknown quantity?
