Are '97/'98 ES300 expensive to fix?

How expensive are these cars to fix? I'm the kind of person that'll
take the car to Western Auto if there's something wrong or to a local
mechanic when something breaks (in other words, I don't go near
dealers). I look for cheap.
A friend of mine is selling a'97 ES300 w/61,000 miles for $9,000 and a
'98 ES300 w/72K miles wor $9,000 also. I know that they're extremely
reliable, but are they expensive to fix? Is it true that you can use
the Camry parts to fix this model?

Thanks.

If you maintain them, you won't have to fix them. But yes you can use Camry
parts for a lot of the wear related items.
