The best car will be the one with the fewest issues and the most life left in it. All very previous owner dependent. Things to avoid would be huge stereos and wings.

I wouldn't think that your camry would be that worn with 200,000. It might be the most cost efficient part of it's life. Particularly when you replace it at a cost of 5,000. You can do a few repairs if you need to and be miles ahead.

The last car (Benzilla) that I bought had 200,000 on it. The previous car (Joetta) had 240,000 miles. Both run like tops.
