1991 Toyota Corolla LE review from North America

"Fantastic, dependable, car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Really liked this car, it was reliable.

General comments?

I purchased this car from a dealer, I was the second owner. It was garage kept by first owner, and I have the notes of the service given by original owner (everything from when he got gas and price, oil change, etc) Gas prices ranged from approx. 1.02 to 1.36 and the lowest price was 93.9 on 1/12/91, he bought 10.65 gal for $10 (those were the days)

In those years, his maintenance consisted of:

New tires at 48,070 in ‘96

Timing belt at 60,351 in ‘98

Tires & alignment in ‘97

Muffler at 68041 in ‘98

Battery at 71,901 in ‘98.

Since then I have replaced:

Muffler in 2000

Exhaust manifold in ‘01

Front tires in ‘02

Front axles, rear wheel cylinders at 116,367 in ‘02

Muffler in ‘03

4 tires in ‘04

Timing belt, a/c belt, power steering belt, inside driver door handle at 146,113 in 9/04 (I had the outside handles break also, might be from the winters and they are plastic)

changed transmission twice during yrs I owned it

and am now, having engine problems at 150,000 5/05 (it’s tapping loud).

I feel that it has given me 5 good years of driving, it was mostly maintenance upkeep. It kept me going on plenty of extra hours to my work. I really enjoyed owning this car and possibly in the future will by another newer model.
