A friend of my daughter backed into her 92' manual Nissan Stanza when she was in high school 20 years ago. The insurance company gave us a check for $2500, for damage to the hood and grill. We used a bungee cord to keep the hood closed and used the money to buy our 3 teenage girls a second car/ a used Camry for them. We were going to need to get a second car for our girls anyway since the oldest one was leaving for college. The youngest ones didn't mind driving the damaged Stanza. My kids were pretty low maintenance.

Much respect to people driving well maintained and groomed old cars regardless of age and model. Beater is a state of mind. You can tell a lot about people by how presentable or lousy their car looks and runs. If you can't afford maintaining a car, either work harder or get a bike. Even when I was younger going to school and working at a Pizza Hut, no way was I rolling in a rinky-dink rust bucket. It was my first car, an old 2nd hand corolla, parts are cheap not replace what needed to be replaced and me and a friend did the paint, interior was well kept. Put on some nice aftermarket second hand eBay rims and had it lowered. It wasn't fast but it was always fresh, clean and reliable. It was efficient and got me to places on a cheap. A lot of DIY work, it started my education in cars. I took care of it so it took care of me, never let me down not even once.

It also means that her Corolla ended up on sale after it had about 430k miles, and her daughter and one of her family members were planning on moving there, but didn't feel comfortable anymore.

Only thing I've had to replace on it is the headlights, front brakes and rotors, spark plugs, tensioner belt, suspension, air bag sensor, tensioner seal, and valve cover gasket. Did all the work myself, car is very easy to work on and incredibly well designed. Also, very cheap to insure. Only thing that doesn't work anymore is the clock.

The interior & exterior are still nice and mint, particularly the interior, (tinted windows have helped that), I’ve had it for 3 1/2 years now and I plan on driving it for another 15 years and another 246,000 km these cars are so reliable.

To date, the most reliable car we ever had period. We even sort of used it as a pick up truck. When we bought cement bags, lumber or pipes especially we would pop the trunk and put the stuff in and tie everything down and tie the trunk lid down. It surprised me that even on slopes and exceeded weight limits the vehicle just kept going. It was not even garage kept during the 100K miles we drove it. My relatives are still driving it. Her highschool son drives it like its a maniac but no trouble yet. Its got 200K miles now still going strong. The only thing they changed was a new set of tires and a new battery and its going like a clock.

Scotty, I have a funny story. My wife, before she was my wife, bought a 1985 Dodge Colt with a standard transmission because she couldn't afford the auto. She never drove standard before but took it home with minimal instruction. She lived in NYC! She drove it home! An added benefit was that none of her family borrowed it because it was standard. What a woman!

I’ve driven a standard transmission from a 1953 Cambridge 218 flathead 3 on the tree (not fast but very dependable) up. My current vehicle is a 2004 Toyota Corolla 1.8L with automatic transmission. I’m not displeased at 290,000 miles & works as well as when I bought it. 31+ miles per gallon & in 9 years only replaced wheel hubs, tires & regularly serviced. Runs as good as the day I bought it. The only thing that’s gone bad is the clock & the the charcoal filter valve. I don’t mind gassing up slow & have no vehicle inspection here so I’ll keep driving it until the wheels fall off as I drive conservatively & it’s paid for. I plan to buy a Tacoma so I can occasionally haul things (as it also has a good reputation) to replace my 1994 F350 dually crew cab (7.3L diesel). Maybe I’ll get a Camry or a standard shift Miata but if the Corolla is still going I’ll keep it too. No sense not having a back up.

Living in Atlanta for 26 years, having a manual transmission back when back when we moved here wasn't a big deal back in the 90s . There's too much traffic now where it's just too much of a hassle, unless people are a true manual transmission junky.

This collision thing happens more often than you might think. You get bumped, the body shop gives you an estimate, you submit the estimate to the insurance company, you get a check and you then fix the dent yourself. Not illegal. But if you're handy, and the car is older and not worth putting the money into it, it makes sense to pocket the money.😉

So I got an 07 Corolla sitting outside. A blue one too. Mine's an automatic though. the vehicle is easy to upgrade the interior which is what I did with mine. I put in an interior floor led strip kit, a dash cam, alexa auto, and an android auto multimedia reciever with a windshield phone holder. I was doordashing with it, I actually profit off the doordash gas reimbursement, the car gets 35 mpg at worst and 40 highway at best. That's a 13 gallon tank, that puts 500 miles in the tank. I drive 100 to 200 miles a day because the area I'm dashing in is rural. I get 1 dollar per mile which is around 31 dollars profit from doordash per gallon. If you have a high efficency car like the 07 corolla, you should doordash with it as a side hustle.

Had an 83 Toyota tercel manual. When it was cold, it didn't want to shift into second gear til it warmed up. It ran better when it had new spark plugs, so I was always changing them for that smoother feel, but a couple hundred miles later it was back to the old normal.

Ha, if you start looking at Toyota Matrixes that had hubcaps, you’ll notice a good deal of them missing all 4 if them - not sure why tho - maybe the way they made the steel rims that they attach to ? Anyway, I had a 2005 Matrix, but it was a flood car I bought from a curbstoner salesman and was desperate at the time - so the bottom chassis was super duper rusted - had the ZZE engine and it ran great and was peppy!

My dad taught my older sister, by 4yrs, to drive and it was in a little '68 bug. I was 11yrs and my dad taught me as well and now I'm 50 and have only owned one vehicle with an automatic, which I had for less than a year. A standard is the best security system to have because it's a lost art, but I love them.

Granddaughter's Boyfriend blew up my engine on a 2002 5.9 dodge ram. I let it set for 6 months then decided to put a low mileage engine in it. Guys that did it did a great job but the mice had eaten the harness. That costs a fortune to chase down. Blew the computer then no bus on the harness. Finally found that the single bus wire was chewed in two at the cam sensor and ignition. Wound up costing an extra thousand for computer, wire harness, Froze right front caliper and a specialist to come chase wires. Do not let one sit. Oh yeah and it had a skim security. They were so glad when I drove it away.

You crack me up Scotty! Manuel Transmissions are why I drive a Rambler. And with overdrive! Years ago I had a drag race from a traffic light with a model T! The old Rambler was doing near 65 in 2nd overdrive! The model T turned out to be a race car!

I just sold a 2009 toyota yaris sport, one owner and everything original except rotors, pads and plugs that had 357,400 miles and running strong. AC compressor started making an intermittant rattling from its clutch or internal, but still cooling normally all original. It was smoother running and driving than my 2012 yaris hatch with 156k miles. Full synthetic oil was always used and yes many of those miles were highway miles. This is why I have 2 other Toyotas. Consistency.

I have a pristine 1994 Corolla GTouring wagon, JDM, well kept, with 11,000 kilometers on it. Like new. It was kept garaged, driven once or twice a year in Japan. The car sold at the auction there for a few grand. A few more to ship to Hawaii. It has a 1500 engine, automatic trans.... gets 50mpg ! I couldn't believe it. Not a lot of power but zips along at the speed limit. No trouble registering, but because RHD (right hand drive) I had to insure it at $15000 for replacement value to keep the policy premium down around $50/mo. PS: I hear that not all mechanic shops will service RHD... good thing this is like new 😅

By the time most of these Corollas are sold, they have at least 200k or 300k miles on them At that mileage you're possibly looking at new CV' joints, radiator, pulleys, PCM, Cat, motor mounts, wheel bearings, struts, starter, alternator ect.. Depends on sale price to be worth it
