Scotty, I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla CE 4 speed automatic too since new, now with 210,300 miles and my Family and I paid $7,736.24 in additional non regular repairs after 133,964 miles, during the last 53 months , 4 years 6 months, the equivalent to $145.97 a month during 76,349 miles, none of those repairs are major repairs like engine transmission or a/c, or rack and pinion or cooling system, but living in from of the beach, close to 16 years, 4 pro body shops estimated the repairs can be made 2 offered written warranty, using original Toyota parts , is around $9,500 including replacing the Toyota carpet and roof liner as well as part in the trunk with rust, the Toyota front windshield the power mirrors the front headlights even the hard cover of the instrument panel and the steering wheel, including the front grill, I will ask for the polished XRS version, basically, this Corolla could be restored. The trusted mechanics want to buy it because of what you show in this video, I have it since new and do the simple maintenance you mentioned by myself, is super reliable, days ago I filled the tank and measured 33.17 miles per gallon, the left axle was replaced for the 1st time 2 days ago, with the original Toyota left axle. ... but I could still hear my Father Rest in Peace Opinion, saying is not worth to pay $9,500 for a pro repair to a 16 years old car....But this is a Corolla that can run forever, and I will miss the simplicity of this trouble free 4 speed auto, no CVT, tha5 just required a part of a few dollars for its shift lever at 198,000 miles, I want to repair it, always uses synthetic oil, always original ATF T IV Toyota fluid, replaced by myself every 15,000 to 26,000 miles , Blackstone Labs has tested oil samples many times last time at 203,000 miles and found it excellent and I am following your advice of changing the oil every 3,000 to 3,400 miles with synthetic because is cheaper than repairs to a head gasket or a rebuild, but my Father will say, is still and old car, that everybody wants to buy it..... your video suggests your response, to keep it, I understand paying less for body repairs is a mistake, body shop work is more expensive thanks Scotty

Thanks Scotty. These 9th series Corollas are the best imo. Bought a 2006 LE 3 months ago for $2500 that had 366K miles. Looks just like the one in the video -pristine. The only issue with these is the intake manifold needs to be changed out with the orange silicone one which the prior owner already did. Oh, plus the stuck Odo at 299999. But I just use the Trip Odos. A for the 5K oil change and Trip B for fuel fill up to gauge gas mileage. It gets 30mpg on 87. Yeah, a big money saver! My 3rd Corolla. I get to keep them until something hits them -car, deer, etc. I always buy them used. VVT-I is a no-brainer which are known to go 800K miles or more before a rebuild. Also supposedly by law the Japanese have to replace their engines every so many years so there are a ton of used 1.8L Toyota engines on the market dirt cheap. The 9th series is my favorite due to its highway-speed handling.

My brother owns a 2006 corolla s. The cars mileage maxed out at 299,999 and this was 2 years ago. The engine and transmission has never been touched. Just recently changed the starter. The a/c still blows freezing cool." In Scotty's voice". The kind of stress we have put this car through is truly unprecedented. This has to be most reliable car i will ever come across.

It should be against the law to drive a beater civic or corolla! Drives like a tank. Road noise, cabin noise, squeaky and rattling noise, shaky, shitty audio system, slower than grandma walking. U have no reason to drive these cars unless you cant afford a camry or accord.

2007 Corolla LE with 190K miles and we just love ours. We bought our car from 2nd owner and it had 89K when we bought it. I got a Pontiac Vibe with the same powertrain years ago, because I could not find a Toyota Matrix, but since the Vibe is made with Matrix parts, I found my 2005 model with 142k and knowing how well the 1.8L engines were, I was very lucky to find it for the price years ago. It now has 175K on it and gets 36mpg. Our 2007 Corolla gets up to 41mpg when I drive it. Welcome to Tenn. we live in Lewisburg Tn. and have been subscribers for many years. Thanks for all your years of helping others and GOD bless you and your family.

You can replace your halogen bulbs and tail lights with LED light bulbs. Just go to the auto part store. Even on newer cars today, they still come from the factory with old fashion dim bulbs in the interior, but you can replace them with brighter LED lights

The 1zzfe and Asin transmission in the 05-08 Corolla and Matrix are solid. It's the best year as Scotty said. I have two 06 Corolla's and two 06 Matrix and aside from one with a small oil leak they all run well, all over 250k and still running.

Led lights are great, running at lower temperature they don't collect snow due to being colder running. So no stopping to clear lights off especially the taillights. My old 1984 Chevy Silverado doesn't have them but plan on installing them some day
