How reliable is the 3.0L V6 vs the 2.2L 4 cylinders in the 1997-2001 Camrys?

**** car already sold...
Go figure... market is tough right now.
LOL, I thought you still have it.
Nope, sold it for $13.5k back in March of 2022
Automatic? geez.
Hey, you know how mint the thing was. Sold it to a BMW Enthusiast. Brought the car for his daughter. Drove from Ohio to pick it up.
Nice! Usually, sticks are ones going now above 10k. However, that time you sold was really time to sell.
Wanted to buy a 340. Ended up with a 540
. Now looking for a beater cause I don't want to put 13k~ miles a year on the BMW

Have you looked for Avalons or Lexus ES300’s in your area yet?
Low volume cars, most people don’t know about them so they sit for sale longer, and prices drop too since less interest.

Ehh I'm kind of trying to stay away from the V6 cars.
These old 4 cyl Camrys were slow when they were new, a boatload of miles just makes them even worse. I'd chance a V6 just for something more pleasant to drive.
Do all the V6s have sludge issues and what have you?
I had a 2000 Solara (a Camry coupe) with a V6 and 5MT. I knew about the sludging issue and changed the oil a lot using synthetic. Great car, good gas mileage too. Gave it to my daughter when she needed a better car. Neither of us had any problems with it.
My brother had the prior edition Camry with a V6. His sludged before the sludging issue became generally known.

Found this gem. 81k miles.. asking 4k. ABS light is on
Now only if I was in a rush I'd buy it.

As dishdude said, painfully slow.
oOOOoo a Gallery series with a v6!
"...not much changed for the 2001 Toyota Camry. The only update was the inclusion of the Gallery Series for the LE, which included features like two-tone paint and seat fabric, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, chrome accents and special badging."
Too bad the british racing green was snapped up
