1997 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"Best Car I've Ever Owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check Engine light went on a few times. Leaking seal on Gas Cap. Replaced for a few bucks, problem solved!
Otherwise regular/preventative maintenance: Oil Changes, Etc.
General comments?
FANTASTIC CAR!!!
Bought for $2500 from Private Party. Previous owner went with me to Dealership for a total inspection. Previous owner paid to have all problems the Mechanic Found prior to purchasing (again at $2500).
The dealership replaced (at cost of owner) :
1.) New Windshield (free).
2.) Set of 4 new tires.
3.) Timing Belt Change & full tune up.
4.) Detail clean the interior.
Only thing I've ever had to do to this car so far is replace gas cap, get regular oil changes every 3000 miles, and I just put in new brake pads yesterday afternoon.
GREAT CAR. 100% reliability. No problems to speak of yet! :-)
All my previous cars were GMs & Fords. Total GARBAGE!!! I'll NEVER buy a car from the Big Three EVER AGAIN! 29 MPG from this used car is WAAAAAY Better than the 12 MPG I got from my V6 Oldsmobile with the same size engine!!! A THOUSAND times better than my Ford, Chevy, & Oldsmobile ever were! Toyota has a customer for LIFE.
