Toyota Camry 1997: What is the average fuel consumption?
The consumption is higher than I would expect. When new Toyota was claiming 11.0 L/100 km in city driving and 8.0 or so on the highway, but after 280,000 km you could expect it to have worn a little and the compression would be down, so you would anticipate that you wouldn't be getting close to the new figures. Even so your consumption does seem too high.

Making a family choice
THE Camry is a good choice. It's a reliable model and won't cost an arm and a leg to run. I would also consider the Nissan Maxima A32, which fits your budget, and don't forget the Mitsubishi Magna. You will get a later-model Magna for the same money.

Toyota Camry 1997: Leaking oil from the front seal
IT DEPENDS on the location of the leak. If it is from the front cover it will be fixed when the belt is serviced, but if it's from the front crankshaft seal it won't be and that will have to be an additional job. It's best to do them at the same time if you have to because that should save you some money compared with doing them independently. There's not much chance of the oil leaking into the cylinders.
