Bought a 97 camry for $800 off of Facebook marketplace. Had sat for years but was in good condition otherwise. Serviced it myself and have in total about $1600. These cars are a literal dream to work on and can be pretty much entirely taken apart with a 10mm socket. 250k miles and going strong.
I bought my buddies 97 for $800 also. When I got out, I drove it from Washington to Indiana (2,400mile trip) made it no problems. At 306,485 these days now. Just the radiator and battery I replaced so far.
I have a love/hate relationship with my 97 camry. It is so incredibly underpowered and slow and gets horrible gas milage for a 4 cylinder, but then again it does have 315,000 miles
I got lucky and picked up a 97 CE with only 133,000 kms and trying to find another one for my girlfriend but can't find another one with as low of kilometers in all of Canada. Slow car but amazing on gas, super reliable, I've fired it up in minus 40 without plugging it in and I love the late 90s basic but classy look to it
I bought my 1999 Toyota Camry brand new - it now has 400K on it. V6 - 5 speed manual transmission. No big expenses - runs like new- a/c is perfect - no rust (Arizona car) - plan to go another 100k or so. No leaks - no rattles - no lights on - easy to maintain - easy to fix - best car I've ever owned
I have a 98 3000v6 with 360000 km.the only new part under the hood is a new starter!never never had one problem.and i still rum it on 200 km/h like a new car!
I have a 96 Toyota Camry. All maintenance is current 5-speed manual transmission... It's been garage kept its whole life. Couples small dings paint looks great still. I need to find some wheel covers off of a 97. They seem to hold up well. Great looking car. I hardly believe it's 28 years old with 132k on the clock.
1 person posted they were having trouble with your Camry.I have a 97. Like the 4 cylinder. I have 351000 miles. Very little replacement parts radiator oil pump And water pump. The while back I was having a little bit of sluggish problems turns out That's a connection in that metal fiber that goes up to the motor Breaks down someone.They cut off in front of the cat.They found a good pile of Middle shavings and such Once that was cleared out my performance Returned. When I bought this camry it had a hundred and seventy thousand on it
Bumpy road yet you probably barely felt! Love your vids keep it up! These cars are so damn reliable and so smooth I'll probably buy another one when my ranger finally takes a crap
Bad advice on buying a used car. Carfax especially is a scam bro… get someone to hook up a scan tool and inspect the car for other things (eg: the muffler to see it’s oily which shows that the engine is burning out oil)
She looking good nice rev up bet Scotty Kilmer applauding to this one want to myself. I love these old Camry's though it's a 97 looks like a newer model just old faithful reliable under the hood.
AHHHH YES THE TRADITIONAL GREEN AND GOLD DOESN'T GET ANY UGLIER THAN THAT ,,,,👹👹 😂😂😂😂 STILL ONE OF THE BEST ENGINES EVER MADE IF NOT THE BEST I'VE SEEN 97 CAMRY'S WITH 400K miles and still running like a champ
Those Corollas are really good. I’ve only had one bad Corolla in all my experience. And we buy maybe 10 Corollas a year maybe more. It was a 2000 Corolla 220k miles. Ran Great transmission was smooth. After changing the oil I noticed the motor was knocking at 2500 rpms 😢. I ended up taking it back to auction and taking a loss. Bc I buy to sell and I couldn’t sell it with a bad motor. BUT it ran Amazing with 220k and a bad Motor.
Where I made my mistake was the Carfax. Vehicle was clean inside out no accidents clean Title but the vehicle had 4 Owners, that’s to much different ppl putting there foot down on the gas. Lol.
I once bought a 99 corolla le with 253k because I needed a super cheap and reliable commuter. I say yes. I’d still buy a cheap high mile corolla today if I needed one.
That's nothing my 97.Camera's got three hundred and fifty one thousand and still going pretty strong and gotten this page to see by the cruise control not buying a new car
Personally small asian cars like this ones are a bitch if you don't maintain them they will break down. Don't get me wrong I love my mazda6 they just a project, I do not recommend them to first time owners. My first car was a form explorer 98 with 250k miles I drove it everywhere and never had an issue never changed the oil as well I drove it like hell And the only problem I had was the calipers from how much I punished the car
Any car will break if they’re not maintained. If you do maintain them and don’t abuse them, they’ll last forever in return. Some cars are just better than others though, but these old Camrys are insanely reliable.
@@rusefoxghost IDK what he's talking about the 97 Camry you can ignore that car all you want as long as it has engine oil and radiator fluid that car is not giving anyone any problems don't get me wrong the Ford explorer from the mid to late 90s we're amazing but there not touching the Camry in reliability and endurance you still see tons of Camry's from the 90s on the streets I can't remember the last time I saw an explorer from the 90s driving by
@@auspertobaez9300 I have a 97 Camry. I even came to this video (and others) originally to decide if it was the one I wanted. The one I got, was in pretty good shape, and at 68k miles, but did have some engine repairs to do. No engine light, but just little things like an oil leak, seals needing replaced, etc. due to age. It runs better than when I got it now, as the old owner was some old lady that didn't know about car maintenance. Yeah, this generation Camry is nearly indestructible, but it's still healthier to keep up on the maintenance than to just ignore it. That's how it goes from a 300k mile car to a 500k mile car. Also, I see old Explorers on the road all the time. No clue what you're trying to say here. The 90s had the perfect balance of extremely simple reliable engines and no reliability sacrificed for unneccessary complicated bits or computers. The majority of cars were some of the most reliable cars ever made.

I love Camrys too. My dad has a 2010 camry se with 240,000 miles on it now, and it still runs great 👌
How is the gas usage?
One of the most simple and comfortable looking car
I agree 100% 👌
I drive a 97 Toyota Camry with 298000 miles still drive it
Nice man congratulations 🎈🎊🍾.
I love the 90s generation reliable and simple

Cut it so slack lmao 🤣 it’s got 315k. That’s so awesome. Test driving this vehicle it was slow, makes 130hp feels like 130hp
Be great full
Horrible mileage?

Former owner of a 97 XLE Toyota Camry 67,000 miles before some hit me loved that car

I drive a 98 Camry with 363,437 miles runs good
Nice bro saving lots of money’s 💰 💴 I see you smart 👍
I like the 90s generation simple and reliable unlike the newer ones today too much artificial technology and plastic
My guy Nelson got a fresh haircut 🤙 Dude the 97 Camrys are the best man we had one with almost 370k miles until it gave out.
Crazy bro almost 400k. I looked like Ronald McDonald. Lmao 🤣 Yeah bro I bought some clippers and my girl cut me up lol. #covidcuts
Bumpy road yet you probably barely felt! Love your vids keep it up! These cars are so damn reliable and so smooth I'll probably buy another one when my ranger finally takes a crap
I like the 2012-2014 model best
I agree 100% these models are so roomy, great on gas, and getting a high end model like XLE, SE, very sexy lol
I have one 98 model its runs 480,000km changed engine two times
Bad advice on buying a used car. Carfax especially is a scam bro… get someone to hook up a scan tool and inspect the car for other things (eg: the muffler to see it’s oily which shows that the engine is burning out oil)
Love these cars
The best car ever I own the car for 6 years and I drove at 470,000 ml

Have you taken it on any road trips recently?
I'm not sure. but I drove this car 3-4 month before I sold it. it ran great and never gave me any problems.
@povnelson2019 so why did you sell it was the maintaince very expensive?
@@DevonDavies-p7fhe’s a salesman at a dealership, I don’t think it was his personal car
Sure does smoke a bit no?
AHHHH YES THE TRADITIONAL GREEN AND GOLD DOESN'T GET ANY UGLIER THAN THAT ,,,,👹👹 😂😂😂😂 STILL ONE OF THE BEST ENGINES EVER MADE IF NOT THE BEST I'VE SEEN 97 CAMRY'S WITH 400K miles and still running like a champ
This was the first car I bought for 1500 had 276k on it lasted me a good 4 years

Calling out Jesus's name when you are angry or frustrated or even happy and saying "OMG" is called blasphemy. I'm just warning you.
Oh look a religious zealot.
