1995 Camry wagon on FB marketplace

138K miles and he's asking $3500. It's the LE trim with a 4 cylinder. There's no way I would pay that much for it, but I thought it was an interesting oddity. You don't see many Camry wagons around here.

Fuel efficient wagons of an era. Looks like a good ripper for a first time driver.

Looks about beat to death, honestly! The potential selling price of my xB just increased (if I ever find something to replace it with)!

I love those Camry wagons, and the very rare Accord wagons.

If that were up here, and with the manual transmission, I'd be very tempted.

Might be a good whip for someone suffering somewhere with OBD-II emissions inspections. I wonder about the black rocker panel covering/ paint job, if it's covering rust.

It would be worth $3500 if it is rust-free and the clear coat wasn't delaminating. The interior actually looks to be in good shape and it is just broken-in at 138K miles.

Too bad I don't have FB else I'd be really tempted. [As it is, I might ask the wife to look at it for me.]

Technically that clearcoat is in better shape than the last Camry I had.

Hmmm, if there's no significant rust and parts still available, its a pretty good cheap family hauler, if you can repair the little stuff yourself.
Seats 7 in a pinch, and gets 1-2 less mpg than a 2.5 Outback, but has 40 cuft behind the back seats.
If it was close by I might be tempted to have a look.

The peeling clearcoat could be previous accident repair.

Had the wife pull up the pics. Doesn't look bad. The black rockers are a warning, like eljefino says. But the rust over the right rear wheel well is probably from scraping in a garage and not from massive rust from underneath. If only I lived closer.

Hard pass now...more photos have been posted that now show two large dents on the right quarter panel and right corner of the tailgate. Looks like a lot of dings, scrapes and dents due to a careless teenage or elderly driver(s).

He dropped the price by $500 when he added those new pictures, but those new pictures really make it much worse than just peeling clearcoat.

If it starts and drives around its worth $3K. Probably last much longer than a lot of newer junk around.

It's where all the used cars are. Craiglist is dead. Consider it a tool. You can even use a fake name.

I went tire shopping, saw a female name. Was a dude. I got catfished!

As for the dings, that's just a meme at this point. /r/camrydents

That one over the taillight will pop out if you put a deflated football behind it, and inflate.

I sorta lost interest when I found out the engine uses a timing belt. Good news is that it’s non-interference, but I really prefer timing chains.

I hear you, but I've done it twice, so what's a third? for me anyhow.

I'm seriously tempted. I have better things to do but it's like 40 minutes from family. But it'd be a 14 hour drive home. I probably would have had the wife send for more info if it wasn't for the black rockers, that just is worrisome. That and... why the heck am I interested in a 30 year old car anyhow?
