1990 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"I'll have it until one of us dies"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car for US$250.00 from an old lady that never bother to check the engine oil. I spent $500.00 on an used engine (parts & labor). The body and the interior are in great shape. The paint is a bit faded, but that is to be expected from any car that is parked under the hot Florida sun for more than 16 years.
Since then the only major maintenance expenses have been the CV Joints and a Master Cylinder.
General comments?
The A/C is ice cold and the fuel mileage is great!!!. Funny, when I first got it my neighbor made fun of it, when gas prices skyrocketed, he wanted to buy from me.
