Alternator went out 2 days after I got the car.
It "floods out frequently and did not get very good gas mileage for a 4 cylinder engine. It ran rough.
Turns out the spark plugs were bad. I replaced them and the wires.
That improved it greatly.
Needs exhaust system.
I bought this car 2 weeks ago for a mere $300.The body and interior are almost like new. It really shines up after I clean it!
I know the mileage is high--187,200 to be exact, but I have read other reviews here about them lasting much longer than this and other people talk about how great Toyotas are. This is my first Toyota. I could not resist it for the price, but of course I anticipate problems.
It now runs good and drives O.K.
It does not burn oil or transmission fluid, that is the main thing!
"burn transmission fluid"??
Any car that does that, won't do it for very long...
