From what I've heard, the engines in those Camrys are pretty unreliable. Can't remember the actual problems though.

If it's been well maintained then shouldn't be a problem though...

There's a lot of kms on those cars! Why not look for something with fewer kms?

The problem would be sludging. Common if the oil isn't of a good quality on the 1, 2 & 3VZFE. Also those k's looks like it's nearing the end of their lives. If they don't mind what kinda car it looks like, then even the wide body Camry would do nicely. The 5SFE I think is the pick of the bunch for reliability and longevity. 3VZ wasn't a particularly "reliable" engine comparatively.
