"Japanese engineering at its finest"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rotors and calipers replaced at 250'000km.

Car requires new shocks front and rear. Driving on dirt roads take its toll I guess.

General comments?

Amazing vehicle.

It is not a race car, however if you are like me, and don't feel like laying underneath cars doing repairs on weekends, look no further. I will buy Toyota again and again.

I have a 1987 Toyota Corolla LE that I'd bought for a mere $300 several months ago. It has 187,956 miles.

I think I got it so cheap because the owners thought it had an electrical problem. Turned out the alternator was not installed correctly. I fixed that myself. Of course I had to get a new alternator and battery after that, but it is OK now.

This car has the 1.6L, 4 cyl. engine with a carburetor. The body and interior are like new though the car is 18 years old. It is silver with black interior. It is great on gas, a must with gas prices so high right now. It is a realiable car that burns no oil. I think it is the best $300 I've spent yet!
