I had a 2006 in that same color that I bought new in 2005 which was also the first car I've ever purchased. I drove it for 5 1/2 years & 42k miles with no problems as expected, but had to get rid of it cause I needed a bigger car with more room (I'm over 6ft). I currently drive a 2016 Lexus GS350 F-Sport that I bought in June 2020 & has been reliable so far as expected. I'll likely continue to purchase Toyota/Lexus vehicles for the rest of my life. You can't beat their legendary reliability along with solid build quality. Many people in my family have owned many Toyota/Lexus vehicles over the years as none of them have had any problems.

Just bought one today with 135k and good condition with minor scratches here and there Just normal wear and tear for a 16 year old car for $4000 and I thought I got a steal but I just read you sold yours for $3k. That’s a deal! But with gas prices about to be $5 it’ll pay for itself soon. It drives so nice for a 16 yo car. Tranny shifts like butter still. The ride is good for a compact car. And the 1.8 motor has some get up so im a bit confused on yours? Mine has some get up and go power. But thanks for the review.

I live in California so the cars here are naturally expensive. Is that a good deal? I’m going to check it out today and I don’t know much about cars. As a former Corolla owner what are some things I should check for? Thank You so much!!!
@markmat84373 жыл бұрын
A car like this at only 60.000 miles is a gold find, They run for ever and I would say lower than a 100000 miles they are always in great condition, You will have nothing to worry about change the oil make sure the alignment is good an in my view you should be good to go.
@DanielGennaro3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the reply! glad you could get back to him before I could- You're right, 60k miles??? must've been driven by a grandma! I'd say that for those miles, 60k at $6,400, they're hoping to get about $5,500 or so... which would def. be a great deal. Always check KBB and use it as a gauge and then research others on Marketplace and Craigslist to see what they're going for... and use that to negotiate.
