Very clean! As nice as it is I wouldn't get that one. I'd get the 4 door SE v6 5 speed which was made in the Japanese plant (at least my 1992 one was) but probably couldn't find one of those anywhere near as clean and low miles as this.
Ah - just noticed this one is the 4 banger stick and not an SE (from the little pic in the post it looked like it had the blacked-out window trim of an SE)
Mine was a really great solid car for me, traded it for my GS400.

Holy cow. One of two things have happened here. One: those miles are legit and that car has been driven about 375 mile a year. Two: it went through a MAJOR (and I mean MAJOR) overhaul to make it look new. I don't think number two is possible since it probably would have cost more than the Camry did when it was new. If I had a need, I'd be all over it. Jump in!
What?? The only pictures with floor mats that I saw, they looked brand new as described. Driver's mat looks like it was left in place for a long time, but the carpet is clean and not beat down or anything...
I would be more concerned about the brake lines looking like they are rusted on and the suspension looking like the bolts are rusted through the bushings. I'm also wondering if those are the original tires. Looking good or not, tires over 16 years old should not be used.

hard to define reliability, given it really hasnt even been broken it. but knowing how reliable the older gen camry's are, this thing will always turn and work no matter what. but i, too, would be concerned if those were the original tires, and my guess is that they are with added tire dressing for a "like new" appeal.

This is major eye candy for a car restorationist. For fun, I tried finding some flaws or aging. Only ones I could find was dust ontop the A/C switches (odd, given it looks like a very fresh detail), leaves/debris inside the trunk latch (also odd given the recent detail), and some sort of grime or paint issue around the lower lip of the fuel filler opening. Everything else looks superb.
Interestingly, it looks like Toyota hasn't changed their turn signal and wiper stalk much over the years!

I'm always worried about old cars with extremely low miles. Was the car started a couple times a week? Did it just sit for years at a time between starts and drives? Cars that don't run often usually have more problems than cars that are used regularly. For me, I think a slight premium is worth it for a car like this, but I wouldn't pay a lot more for it. It is just a Camry Coupe although a it is a manual, but still not worth a whole lot more money IMHO.
