I'd not get anything older than 1996, simply because I find having OBDII to be very useful in troubleshooting. Camry's with timing belts will absolutely snap them right around 100k miles. My dad has had 3 break between the 1996 and 1998 Camry's. 3 were replaced before breaking. He's now fixing the 1998 after it was abused by his friend, and it has over 300k on it now. Needs some front end work, the water pump wasn't replaced by his friend (he's a mechanic, why didn't he do the water pump?) last time the belt snapped, so that's leaking.
The 1996 was totalled by my sister when she rolled it 5 times on a straight road very familiar to her, on a clear day. She accidentally drifted toward the center line, over corrected into the soft shoulder, then corrected violently back to the left putting the car sideways. That one was fantastic and probably would have gone over 300k trouble free miles.
Anyhow, Edmunds says a 2003 Camry with 192,000 miles is worth $1,400 in clean condition private party.
That '92 Accord is way overpriced. Doesn't matter what condition it's in; it's worth $500.
Never pay asking price. Always lowball several people and a few of them will counter. Work those counters until you get a price you're willing to pay.
