NO RESERVE!!!
100% feedback seller. Here's mom's faithful Camry. Great on gas, runs great, always dealership trained mechanic maintained and oil change every 3k miles. Recent suspension work and tires. Usual wear and tear for 97 car. Not perfect but always reliable. Please come and see it first and go for a good test drive and you will be very happy. Quite and smooth motor. Tranny shifts great. Great on gas. Alot of pep on the gas peddle. She says it is a Lexus and just looks like a Camry. Right, Mom. Great car for students or station car. Just drove it yesterday to the car wash and it really drives like a new car and now selling in as is condition and NO RESERVE because her new car is coming (another Camry no surprise). Plenty of reliable miles left says our dealership mechanic. No rips, stains on seats. All glass smooth. Body has scratches and dents from supermarket runs and church parking lot. If you are looking for a perfect car, this is not the car. Damage to passenger door, scratches to bumpers and minor cracking on center console arm pad. Still a great running car at a NO RESERVE price.Mom says sell it to someone who will love it like she did. Ok, MOM. Will do.
Here are some info and review on this car:
the Camry SE was dropped and the base model was renamed the CE for the 1997 model year. Both the LE and the XLE trims were carried over from the previous generation. All trim levels were available with either the 2.2-liter inline-four or the 3.0-liter V6 engine.
The 1997-2001 Camry is one of the most reliable cars ever built. It offers a comfortable interior and soft, quiet ride,You can buy it as a four-door sedan or two-door coupe (Camry Solara).
The interior is roomy, with soft seats and easy-to-use controls. There is plenty of head- and legroom in the front; the rear space is pretty good too. The trunk is large and the rear seatbacks fold down for more cargo space.
The Camry has front-wheel drive and comes with a 4-cylinder or V6 engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. Maintenance and repair costs are moderate. The 4-cylinder Camry is rated among the best in its class for fuel economy. The Camry is very reliable and with good care can easily last for 250,000 miles and more. Common problems are mostly minor, read more below.
Powertrain:The base 136-hp 2.2-liter 4-cylinderDOHCengine is fairly quiet and easy to maintain. The optional 194-hp 3.0-liter V6 is smooth and offers plenty of power. Both engines have atiming belt(for 2000 and 2001 Camry, Toyota recommends replacing the timing belt every 90,000 miles). Both are very good reliable engines; with good maintenance you shouldn't have too many problems with either one.
Fuel Economy:The EPA rates the 2000 Camry with a 4-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission at 20/28 mpg or 11.8/8.4 L/100 km city/highway, which means you can travel approximately 382 miles (614 km) on one 18.5-gallon (70 liter) tank with a mix of 55 percent city and 45 percent highway use. The estimated annual fuel cost: $2,450.
Handling and ride:The Camry has a soft and quiet ride. The steering is light, without much feedback. The soft suspension absorbs road bumps and expansion joints well, but some body lean is noticeable when cornering. Overall, the handling is secure and comfortable, although not sporty.
Safety:Antilock brakes are standard in all, but the base models. In the NHTSA frontal crash tests, the 1997 Toyota Camry received four stars for both the driver and the front passenger; the improved 1998-2001 Camry received four stars for the driver and five stars for the front passenger.
Pros:Reliability, fuel economy (4-cylinder models), soft and quiet ride, comfortable interior, easy to maintain, easy to sell.

Cons:Plain interior styling, body roll in turns, steering wheel wears fast, both engines have a timing belt that must be replaced at recommended intervals.
