About this model

1997 Toyota Camry

Середньорозмірний седан · generation 2012–2024

Our takeНайбезпечніший вибір для першого імпорту — навіть з пошкодженням Front End ремонт передбачуваний, запчастини є в наявності. Beware: моделі після 50k miles одометр не накручується тільки якщо є Carfax.

Strengths

Один з найнадійніших седанів у США — двигун 2.5L 2AR-FE та 3.5L 2GR-FE ходять 400 000+ км
Дешеві запчастини в Україні, мережа СТО що знає модель
Висока залишкова вартість при перепродажу через 3–4 роки

Weaknesses

До 2018 року салон і шумоізоляція — економ-клас
Гібридні версії (Camry Hybrid) — дорожча батарея при заміні (~$2 500)
