Looking to buy my first car, that should last a long time

So, I recently got my license (6 years too late) after working for a while saving up money for a car. I won't need to finance, and I was looking at the following new cars:

  • 2010 Camry LE (Possibly the SE if I want leather inside)
  • 2010 Corolla S/LE

I know its towards the end of the year, so there are usually discounts for last year's models (since the 2011 ones came out already), and I was wondering:

How much do you realistically think I can get either car for, and any opinions on their last-ability. I want something that will last me a long time, and these seem to be the best in terms of that. But, r/cars you guys are the experts, so I came here to ask.

EDIT: Thanks all, I finally settled on a Camry LE. I looked at way too many cars this past week haha.
