I am looking into buying a 1991 Toyota Camry DXL (87,000 miles), how much is this car worth and how good of a car is it? Sorry I don't know much about cars...thank you in advance!

The mileage is low for that year of car, take a quick look at the some wears areas to make sure it is not 187000 miles:
brake/gas pedal - should not have most of the rubber worn off
floor mats - none should be worn all the way thru
seats - the cloth should not be overly worn
belts/hoses - look under the hood and if they look really faded and cracked, they will need to be replaced soon
Book is about $2500 for a popularly equipped model. I do not recall if the 2.0 4 cylinder requires a timing belt at 60k or 90k. The good thing is it will not wreck the engine if it goes. If it was changed at 60k, that was about 5yrs ago, so it may need another soon. Overall should be an excellent, reliable car that properly cared for, should give you another 87k.

Go to Kelly blue book @ www.kbb.com and check for used car values and it will give you the amount the car is worth, both if you buy it from a dealer or a individual.
Also check www.autoconsumerguide.com and they have even more info on the car, potential problems and things you need to know.
Also check www.cars.com and see if any 1991 Camrys are being sold in your area and how much they are being sold for.
Lastly, If you can, find a good local mechanic and take the car to him and let him check it out (it may cost $ 40-$100), and that can save you a lot of trouble.
The 1991 Camry was a good reliable car and that mileage is low for a 15 year old car, as long as it was maintained properly and not abused, and the car is being sold at a reasonable price it will serve you well.
Good Luck.

The 91 Camry tends to be a relatively good car, not famously great, but not bad, either. At that age, the care it has received is everything. You'll need to trust your gut-feeling. And don't pay more than $2000 for it.

Make sure that you get it inspected. Older Toyotas, especially some Camrys, had corrosion issues on the front subframe. My kid had one with that problem and the engine and trans literally fell out on to the road. Luckily he didn't pay much for it and got his money's worth for the time he had it.

The 1.8 and 2.0 Toyota is a stable engine with a performance that jut satisfy most drivers REMEMBER to have the time belt replaced

There were good cars when new, but in 15 years you can expect some wear and tear. No more than 1000 for it.
