camry wagons were not common back then. the 4 cyc were better than the 6. I use to have 1990 sedan which pushed pass 300k miles on the odo.....that car was bullet proof.
Why so Low? NADA Lists the Value much higher. What was wrong with the V6 engines?

Had a friend who bought a 1990 Camry V6...... it went kaput 3 weeks later. But he did buy it with a knock coming from the engine. $3500 down the drain.
If it were a private seller that had a complete maintenance history on the vehicle i might be tempted in the $2K range but this seems to be a sidewalk dealer sale and you or the seller know nothing about the vehicles history,was it in a major wreck? is that nice paint job covering up a lot of rust? 90K seems very premature to be replacing head gaskets and radiators on a car as reliable as a Toyota which makes me wonder if its even the original engine, i'd take a walk on this one and look for a car being sold by a conscientious owner and not a dealer.

In theory, it will sell easily. The fact it is a 23+ yr old car....no air bags, no abs, cassette, etc etc.
I knew a few people with the v6....seemed like it didn't last as long as the I4....the v6 was known for head gasket issues and sometimes impacted the coolant too. V6 is a decent engine, the I4 is just far better. The Japanese makes back in the day made great I4 engines...as I noted, the miles I put in my old 1990....I seriously think it could of pushed well past 500k on the odo. I personally worked on the car & boy it was such an easy car to DIY.
I wouldn't buy *any* 24 year old car unless I were an expert on antique and classic car maintenance, or had access to such a expert and plenty of money to pay him. While Toyotas are great cars, age and metal fatigue affect all cars and the repair bills can be frightful.
I had a 94 Camry wagon. It was the only car I could fit all my dogs in at one time. Neat little car. I could get about 8 or 9 hay bales inside if I put the back seat down. Also, if you have a single/twin air mattress it's like a little one person camper. btdt I've always loved the little back seat that faces back. It was a good little car. I put a crate engine in it cuz when I got it the guy had just put a junk yard engine in it that lasted about a month.
I sold it for $2K. I think that's a little high. We've had some good luck with used cars and we don't pay much more than a couple thousand for them.
