Yeah, as stated in the comment above mine, the resale is going to be very low. I bought mine for $1,200 a few months ago.

"The Second Generation Camry is a modern classic."
I second that, especially when you compare it to any Camry post 1992.
I used to have a 1988 Camry (made in Japan) that had over 210K miles on it when it was donated. Engine and transmission still were in great mechanical shape.
Wish I had kept it. Look at how many 2nd generation Camrys there are out there still up and running. The newest 2nd generation Camry is 19 years old! That's why I consider the 2nd generation Camry the best Camry ever made.
Will always have a soft spot in my heart for these cars. The modern Camrys don't compare.

My Camry has color-coodinated, matching painted bumpers! Oooo... AAaaaa... It still has cheap plastic chipped up hub caps though. No one would call an 88' Camry a classic. There really is no point in babying the car like that... when the time comes to sell the car, you're going to think it is worth a lot more than it really is because of the sentimental value you've attached to it. Unfortunately, most people don't really give a hoot about sentimental value, and will not pay you more than the car is worth.
It's 17 years old. You'd be lucky to get $1,500 out of it, even in pristine condition. I like my Camry, but I can be realistic about it too. For the most part, mine is still running strong at 154k miles.
