1992 Toyota Corolla Base 4Dr Sedan review from North America
"Seems like a solid little tank, just what I seek"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I just bought it, and thanks to a pre-purchase inspection, found that the alternator was overcharging, causing light bulbs to blow out. Got a tune up that was needed as well.
It has great compression, emissions, etc according to the mechanic. With his inspection, I got enough knocked off the asking price to replace the alternator and a few bucks toward the tune up. Most cities have mechanics that will go to the car you plan to purchase, mine did the full inspection for $99.
General comments?
Seeing how I just bought the car, I cannot say much yet. So far, it seems like exactly what I wanted - a solid little car, no frills, performs adequately and looks nice. I keep hearing good things about them, and as time goes on, I will add comments to the end of this post.
