Faults:

Nothing yet, though it did need a new battery within one week of purchase. The previous owner split that cost with me. They hardly ever drove it.

I had to put a new used A/C compressor in it - total cost around 4,500 baht ($125).

I think it will soon need a new clutch - when I let it out in first it tends to shudder a lot. This isn't the normal 'lugging the engine' shudder from not giving it enough gas (revs), its more like the clutch plate isn't gripping well. Anyone have any tips on diagnosing a bad clutch?

General Comments:

The car is great for Thailand, but I wouldn't make any long trips in it.

The sale price was close to $1,500 - back in the US this would be a $500 car.

I'm a little nervous about long term reliability due to the car's age, but hope it will serve for another couple of years.

Faults:

Practically none... this car is bomb proof.

Replaced drivers seat approx 20,000 km ago due to sagging.

Replaced drivers window rail (inside door cavity) as it had rusted, approx 50,000 km ago.

Had electrics fixed about 50,000km ago. Cost about $100-.

Other than that just routine servicing...

General Comments:

This car has been through thick and thin with me and has been infallible. Was used for a short time as a courier car (by me) and never missed a beat. I now service it about once a year and it still putts along right as reign, in fact it is still used to pull my motorbike trailer 100km to the track and back once a month.

Gets by on the smell of an oily rag and services are cheap.

If you can find a good example of one of these second hand you can't go wrong. Get it!!!

Faults:

Electric radiator fans don't work anymore, need to re-wire them.

Small rust holes in the floor.

Big rust hole in the driver side quarter panel.

Just completed a a full out tune up of everything.

Slight valve tap that I have to check out.

Belts and hoses just replaced.

Solid car despite its faults.

General Comments:

This car is extremely light.

It is pretty fast, but I don't know for sure until it hits the track.

Faults:

It is rusting here in Finland because of salted roads, still pretty good shape, welded only two spots.

Somebody is broke passengers door lock, trying to get inside.

I have no bigger problems with this car.

Windshield changed couple, cost about 200 euros, today I am lucky if I get 300 of this...

General Comments:

Good car.

Starts even -25 Celsius.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Most reliable car I have ever owned. Done a few modifications to the engine and now the old girl rips V8's to shreds, simply because you can redline the engine with no major concern (as long as you keep the oil-level full.

Go buy one NOW, and don't worry about how many KM's it's done... THEY LAST FOREVER!

Faults:

Head gasket blew at 260 000km. So whilst repairing this I also replaced the rings.

General Comments:

I bought this car for $500 two and half years ago in that time I have traveled over 60 000 km in my little old corolla. It may not be the prettiest car on the road, but in my opinion it is the finest, as when I have needed the corolla it has never let me down.
