1987 Toyota Corolla FX review from North America
"A economic bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replaced the Slave Cylinder and the Axle Boots.
The car is rusted out around all the wheel wells.
The choke keeps getting stuck open and I have to clean it out constantly.
General comments?
I bought the car for $100 at a car auction and has keeps running for 2 years and keeps going.
I like the car.
People has offered to buy it for $500, but I refuse to sell it.
The car handles well, but lacks acceleration.
