Extra words:
If you want a shiny brand new car in great condition with all the bells and whistles look elsewhere. This baby features old-school windows that you roll down with your muscles. If you want the door unlocked you pull a mechanical lever, no fancy buttons or remotes with this classy beast. Power steering and power brakes, yes, but none of that fancy anti-lock brake stuff or traction control.
She is 14 years old and has spent all that time on Ottawa roads, so yeah, there are some rust spots. If you want a shiny brand new car in great condition with all the bells and whistles look elsewhere.
If you want a cheap car that runs well and saves you gas money, come see this one. Corollas are well known for being tough little beasts that need little. That said she has been well cared for with regular maintenance.
She has great fuel economy: I usually get 550km before I fill up. She has a 50L tank but I fill at 1/4 or so, say 35L fill-up, so that’s around 6 L/100km. On a trip to Windsor I went over 700km on a tank.
Why I sell?
I am from the “own the car and drive it ’til it’s dead, Jim” camp. That said, I like trailer camping and the camper I have needs a bigger beast to tow it, so I went and got a truck. Now I have a Corolla in the driveway taking up space and insurance money. It needs a home.
