its a v6, has all the power options (i guess those are obvious) and it has 121,000 miles. he didnt let me physically test drive it (no license yet) but he drove around in it. transmission seemed to shift smoothly and all of that..but i did hear SLIGHT break squeeking..not sure what that could mean...anyone? brand new tires too. oh yeah! and sunroof!!
then theres a 1992 toyota camry my friend would be willing to give me for 3500-4000. has 80 thousand miles on it. its an le, 4 cyl. but its an ugly blue color (in my opinion) looks something like this:

i also dont like the back lights and the plastic in the middle.
i honestly dont know what to get. a part of me feels like i should buy a car with lower mileage for a lower price. cause thats smarter. people tell me 5300 is too much to spend on a car thats like 13 years old. but it is top of the line, and around my area 1995-1996 camrys are always going 4800-6k with mileage ranging from 135-188k!!
should i semi-settle, and get an ugly older, blue camry, or just spend more on a lot nicer looking camry, paying for more luxuries i dont really need nor care TOO much about (i could deal without leather, and i hear 4 cyl. already is a zippy engine...sunroof icould deal without too, but after sitting in that 1995 camry with the sunroof i was awed.). im planning on keeping either car for a long time, so i should really be in love with it, right?
i drove in my friends car, and it was really nice. keep in mind ,the car i drive is like 18 years old, doesnt have heat, top speed is 85mph, and has like 83hp. lol!!
any insight/advice, or hell, even experiences with your own camrys that are the same type/mileage as these would be nice to read.

wow 33
at least you have had a variety, but yeah the V6 youve shown us is to much. one in great condition would be less then that.thats a good point too, cept they dont look as good as the gen3
I don't think you could really go wrong with either one. i've been driving my dads 2001 camry CE to and from school for the past two weeks and it's been a really comfortable ride. i have an 06 honda civic ex coupe that was my previous daily driver but me and my dad are switching for a while.
I got that civic when i was 17 and i have to say in retrospect it was not as wise of a decision. while it was fun to drive and nice looking; the fact that anyone who got in the car with me was cramped in the back was annoying. as well was the fact that after installing my subs i had a much more limited trunk (though that's really the case in any car).
I learned to drive with my dad's camry, i've driven it on and off before when circumstances arose and my dad needed to take my civic, and now i'm using it as a daily driver for a 60 mile round-trip commute. it's only an I4 but it can still give me the umfph i need when i need it occasionally on the highway; and at 140,858 miles it's never seen better days.
as everyone has been saying, in the end it's ultimately your decision, but in my experience if you wanna hang out with your friends and just go cruising around town, a sedan is a much better idea. as well if you have any plans for a sound system.
in regards to the two camrys you've listed, go with whatever feels right. i agree 5300 is a bit much, but maybe you can talk him down. if not there are always more cars out there, take your time and make sure that you get a car that you'll enjoy for the next few years at least.
Hope that helps ya.
PS.
My civic has a sunroof in it as well, and believe me i miss it dearly as it is not to be found in my camry.
