Yes Camrys are good cars, they will last you a long time with care and maintenance. But you have to be careful when buying a car that old, it might need alot of work. There are a number of parts that just wear out and need to be replaced. One thing you have to be sure of is the timing belt, when it was last changed.
Best thing to do is have someone experienced to test drive it and see how it drives. Even better, take it to a mechanic and have it looked over.
Lastly for a car that old I probably wouldn't pay more than $2500, but alot depends on how many miles the car has and also on the condition of the car. Look on Kelly Blue Book to help you determine the cost. Try to do as much research as you can and check out the car throughly, then make your decision.
You can deal on the price depending on what needs to be fixed, mileage, and condition. If everything looks good then go for it! Camrys can last a long time so it could be a very worthwhile buy. I know one that has over 300,000 miles on it and still runs dependably. Just remember though, it costs to maintain. Well good luck!
