Common to all cars that has been driven over these years and beaten by the weather, it rusts even after paint-job.
Radiator needs to be filled once a fortnight for less than 250ml.
All 4 steel rims have been badly dented, but still runs straight.
A damn bloody good car for anyone who needs a car to drive after receiving his/her license.
However, don't expect to get attention driving this car to college or University.
Full tank lasts about 2 weeks for city driving.
One helluva reliable car that will NEVER breakdown.
How much is the car?
Toyota corolla KE 20.
Very good car. this has a very good demand in sri lanka.

My orange 1973 Toyota Corolla is now, but a happy memory, but it ran flawlessly for 160,000+ miles and then I gave it to my sister who piled another 30,000 miles on it... even through tough winters in Buffalo, New York. The rust was terminal, but it still ran strong and did not burn ANY oil!
When going around to junkyards looking for the best price, all the scrap guys offered me the same: $50. When I told the last guy that this car still ran strong and didn't burn any oil, he took the cigar out of his mouth and said: "Kid, these cars are ALL like that."
Every once in a while, that car rolls into my dreams and always makes me smile.
Unfortunately I can't match the poetic literature in the comment above.
But I can agree that it is a ruddy good car.
I bought my white KE20 in 2001 and I never dreamed about having so mutch driving pleasure like I have with this car.
I might spend all my money on him, but I will never buy another car!!!
It`s the car I always dreamed about.

Yes Fond times had in my 1974 orange KE20. It was my first car which lasted 7 years. All I ever changed was the starter motor and a timing cover seal. The engine oil was not even changed for the it's final 3 years. The thing was unstoppable. It had been off road and even all of the way across Australia!
These things are getting rare these days and I'd love to get another one.
I'm 18 and my first car white 1973 Toyota Corolla KE20 HOW LUCKY AM I. Id never give this up its such a pleasure to drive. Its been in my family for 34 years sat in a shed for most its early days and has done low mileage. I just hope my sub doesn't blow parts of him. So fuel efficient and have no problems with it its awesome. Yet its so hard to get parts where I am : (in NSW Australia. I try to keep him alive as long as posible :D. GO COROLLAS!!
