That's exactly like my car except 2 years newer. I paid $6300 for a '94 with 106k in May of this year. My car did have a few little common problems like: the burnt needles, grinding antenna, dead hood struts, and worst of all very bad leather damage up front...the driver's seat has a hole in it to the point where I can see the green foam and the steering wheel had to be recovered and rebuilt by American Stitches(they did an excellent job ). Mine also has a dent in the door. And I prefer not to call it tan...it's Cashmere beige hahaha. If the only problem is the door dent then I say it's good . Also, if you don't get this particular ES, make sure you get atleast a '94 because that's when the new tranny and 1MZFE(3.0 V6) were introduced. I hope this helps. ES's are fantastic automobiles . I hope this helps

Default good deal

I am sure you have shopped in your area. But I got real lucky I was driving a 93 camry with 120k when a lady hit me The insurance paid me 5,000 I kept the camry for 600.00 and sold it for 1000 wreaked . so my net after my deductable was 5150.00 I found a one owner a 80 year old man had a 94 with 80,100 miles fully loaded his 50 year old son had even put in a new 12 dicc cd changer in. I think I stole the care for 5800.00 the camry was a le with a 4 cylinder no cd and cloth interior. after 6 months the insurance even collected my deductable back. so my net on the car loaded with less miles is $400.00 . I couldnt be any happier with the car I would recommend one for sure. as I have read on here the best part on the es300 is you can get most of the camry parts cheap. a get car.
