1993 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"Best $2,800 I ever spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator was replaced before I bought it.
Car was also in a accident, passenger size was hit.
Replacing the starter recently.
The car seems to have hesitation going up hills for some reason.
One major tune up, apparently a distributer cap wasn't even connected the whole time.
General comments?
At first before I bought it, I was very skeptical because of the high miles on it. That didn't seem to be a problem.
The frame is beautiful for being so old. It only has 2 rust spots the size of quarters on the bottom part of both front doors.
It does lack speed, but the space inside is pretty decent. Like the front passenger side and the trunk.
I would replace the engine just to keep this car.
