I am the original owner of this car. My car is now almost 15 years old. The following have happened to my car. Speakers blew out, water pump needed to be replaced... which I did myself, some rust which would not have happened if I had not moved to the north, and that is about it.
This car is the best and the only car I own. I will never sell this car. Replacement parts are very easy to find and very cheap. The car is very easy to work on. The car will not die. I drive it to work every day 110 miles round trip to work. Honestly between my wife and I the car is driven 110 miles a day 7 days a week without any breaks. Gas mileage is about 29 miles/ gallon.
My grandma has a 92 corolla DX wagon, and it's a great running car. the engine will be sitting on the pavement running when the body is long gone. That is this car's only downfall. Cheap thin metal that rusts easily. At 250,000 it's very low maintenance. A new water pump is needed for this car also. Must be a common, but inexpensive issue. As for the guy who bought it for his son, 750 is a steal.
