toyota corollas aren't fun, they're reliable. they get the A-B driving down. hell that car has cruise control and bluetooth, that's plenty for most people.
That is hilarious! I actually had a 2005 Hyundai Elantra and it was a great little car, but there were subtle things that made it feel like a "Great Value" version of a Corolla
Hell the original price of $1300 is excellent for any car that runs and drives, and doesn't need any MAJOR work. Around here these days people ask $3000 for 20 year old beaters with 250,000 miles. I'm not kidding when I say that vehicle, as it sits, on Facebook someone would have the audacity to ask $5-6000 or more for these days. The state of the used car market is... rough. $1300 is what people ask for cars with blown engines or no title (which are scrap metal, and aren't even technically legally able to be sold until the title issues are resolved, kinda wish Facebook would stop people from listing cars with no titles on Marketplace)
I recently paid 6,300 for a 2005 Toyota with 122,500 miles on it. It drives pretty good but I’m at the Toyota dealer today getting an oil change and inspection just so that I’m aware of anything that wasn’t reported on the carfax. I purchased a warranty from the dealer I bought it at and they recently replaced an old driveshaft seal that was causing a transmission leak. It was a very quick fix that was covered by the warranty I purchased. Hope the inspection goes well.

If he can afford to be choosy, it’s better for him to leave this deal for one of the millions of drivers who have no clue how to drive a stick. So it’s a good thing.
@DanT271 it's kind of rare for people in the north to be able to put significant mileage on their car before it rusts out, even sprayed with Krown or Rust Check.
I had a 1993 Corolla. The rust was becoming a problem but it was running like new when I donated it in 2010. Got a Hybrid Civic, Lemon edition. Quickly sold it and got another Corolla. I look forward to it outlasting my friend's $60,00 Audi.
I honestly can not stand leather seats. They are cold in the winter, hot in the summer, they get sticky and don't breathe, and you can very easily damage them. They also start looking like crap after a decade or so. When I was looking for a car a while back, I turned down a pretty good deal on a pretty clean 240GL because it had leather seats. I ended up getting one with cloth seats, and they are great. My '95 Tercel also has cloth seats and after 29 years and 170k miles, they are still perfect. A friend have me a 1998 Honda accord, which has every option there was for them, and it has leather (or fake leather probably) seats, and the driver seat is terrible looking, and the car only has 190k miles on it. They drive me nuts, I had to put a cloth seat cover over them to make them bearable, but that slides around which is annoying. I also have to carry a blanket everywhere incase I need to move something in the back seat, because the leather is easy to mess up. I just cannot understand how leather is seen as a plus.
I don't know if they did it or not but leather seats are supposed to be conditioned yearly at least with leather conditioner, which is basically like lotion for leather. Don't use lotion on your hands and they get dry, same with leather seats! I like cloth seats but I appreciate that leather seats are more waterproof
Literally none of that is true 2002 W220 S-65 AMG not one crack on any seat after 400000km 2004 Toyota Corolla Altis came factory with gold leather seats in 20 years its got no tears and just some cracks its never unbearably hot and my friends 07 Civic with cloth seats is far more unbearable to sit in when its been in the sun for an hour also cloth stains far to easy is unbearably uncomfortable and also ugly
Also I have thrown things in the back seat of my Altis without a care in the world those things include but are not limited to a machete a crowbar some screw drivers hacksaw and yet after all of that they are not torn yet I’ve seen cars with half the km’s never had anything in them and the cloth is torn to bits also you are supposed to condition your leather
I'm a pretty big fan of Toyota and Honda. My brother has a 12yr old beat to Hell Sienna that still runs and drives like new and I daily a 10yr old CRV that still feels like brand new.
I purchased a 2008 Toyota Harrier and have been driving it for about four years. The car has been running smoothly with no major issues, just routine maintenance like battery and tire changes. I plan to keep it for at least ten years because Toyotas are known for their reliability. They may not be fancy, but they are dependable.
My uncle used to have a 2005 Toyota Corolla from 2004-2011. It was involved in 3 accidents, which he got them repaired, and he traded it for a 2011 Honda CR-V Special Edition 4WD (actually AWD), which he still uses. He has other vehicles also.
This generation (2003-2008) was very popular and many of them are still on the road today. They are well-built and last a long time. Unlike the American automakers, Toyota doesn't make these cars cheaply. I currently drive a 2018 Toyota Corolla SE. The S changed to SE in 2017. The A/C probably just needs refrigerant
Fun fact about these 9th gen corollas and matrix. The odometer will stop going at 299,999 miles. Make sure, if you buy one, to keep track of the miles afterwards. Great car.
Christ I paid $4,700 for a 2008 Yaris 1 owner 80k miles out of CT no rust and the book value Edmonds and KBB had it at $5.200 value A Corolla 05 with not that much more miles then mine and my A/c clutch burned out like this one.. costed me $200 for compressor and do it myself!
Hola Bishop! New subscriber here after watching a few of you and your fiancé's CX-5 videos I fully agree on Toyotas. in fact after my 2010 Hyndai Azera GLS (Good car, rode very well) of which I had put almost $20K in it had it over 12 years, 180K miles on, transmission started bucking and needed a new one, the rear driver side window fell down and wouldn't roll back up, I started looking at RAV4s 2 years ago and it was at the height of the used car high costs, used RAV4s with over 20K miles were $40K+ , New ones were months if not years away for a hybrid or a Prime. So after scouring the internet and TH-cam. I saw many reviews one which was the Car Care Nut on the 2022 CX-5. Looked up more CX-5 and found many others youtubers singing its praises. Found Kirk Kriefels who also had high praises for it of who I watch for automotive news and he is an avid Mazda fan. BTW did you see the collab between AMD of the Car Care Nut and David Chao of Automotive Press on David's channel? AMD states hands down over the CR-X and the RAV4 he would pick the CX-5, best SUV in the segment. I disagree with you on Mazda's lasting as long. 20 years ago I would agree with you I had a 2002 Millenia S and it was a problematic car. I am glad Mazda separated from FORD and I used to be a FORD freak. Down here in Florida I see more older pre 2017 CX-5s than I see newer so I believe they will be on the road for a long time. Consumer Reports I think had Mazda third on reliability after Lexus then Toyota, granted there was a more than 12 point difference. I hope that the complexity of the CX-70 and 90 3.3L wont bring it down, The 2.5L PHEV looks promising though. Anyways test drove many Rav4s, RX 350s CR-V, Outbacks, Forresters (did not care for the CVT and AC controls on touch screen) am now the proud owner of a 2023 Signature CX-5 and am loving it. the only problems I have and was wondering, the CX-5 for its short wheelbase is pretty damn bouncy, was your Santa Fe and other SUV as bouncy? Also the Azera had like a micro fiber cloth seats in it, never too hot in the summer and never too cold in the winter. I am looking for a cloth cover for my leather seats but wondering with these airbag seats. The ventilated seats don't help when the car is 140F+ inside and its instant sweat. Liking the different videos keep it up sir! I hope the 'Yoder will be a great car for your dad!
I am a firm believer in Toyota vehicles. I have a 2009 Tacoma which just hit 350,000 miles. Original powertrain. No major work besides a frame recall (due to rust) A/C and heat still work like the day it was new. I am thinking about doing my own review video one of these days. Just an FYI.... If you are going to refill the A/C yourself, make sure you use the stuff WITHOUT the (leak stopper) sealant. That stuff is known to clog up the orifice tube and wreak havoc on your A/C system. You can read the horror stories online. But anyways, great video as always.
I've heard some wild stories like jeeps, Chevys, bmw, etc. with heck of a lot of miles. So with luck, money, and maintenance it's possible for our cars to last way longer than we would have thought!
Toyota Corolla is the second best selling motor vehicle of all time. Over 50 million sold. Only to be out done by the Honda Super Cub. Over 100,000,000 sold. I have an 18 year old Tacoma I absolutely love. Not a rattle to be heard and a new frame and lease on life.
Great cars. I believe that generation of toyota uses the 1zz-fe engine which was shared between the matrix/vibe too. Had a vibe with the same power train go a quarter million miles before the rust belt took its toll and the awd system broke down on it. Timing chain lasts the life of the motor. Did a valve cover gasket at 220k and the guides still looked new. AC compressors are cheap you can get a reman unit for around 100$ The matrix/vibe had issues with the blend door actuator clicking they all go bad. If its stuck on defrost or outside air you can open the actuator and rotate the plastic gears 180 degrees to get more life out of it. Check the front rockers by the wheel well too. Sometimes the fender liners get out of whack and snow/mud gets packed in the gap and rusts under the rocker skirt. Odometers all stop at 299K too that car will run forever if the body doesn't rust around it
Seems like a winner of a car. This steering wheel is my favorite from Toyota, It's in my 01' Celica. Not as nice as my 88' Supras, but it still feels super modern, without being a pillow or full of buttons (mine has shifting buttons on either side) You're not going to get a better vehicle and hell neither of my cars have a display (though I prefer it that way, I really don't like them)
Bro, a second hand 2005 toyota camry with 150k milage cost $2,250 here in philippines and an old model corolla still cost $1,250 😂 thats a great deal for $1
In pa the sheetz gas stations have super nice free air pumps, so it is a weird feeling to be at a gas station with a paid air pump. Though some are nice and may fill your tires for free.
It wouldn't be a ninth gen corolla if that cubby by the shifter stayed shut. I loved mine, i got it when it had 140k and drove it till it had 300K and got what i paid for it three years Later best car i ever owned.
I bought an 05 civic a year ago. Nothing wrong with the engine or body. All it needed was some suspension, brake, and some oil leaks needed to be fixed. Had 136k miles on it
My 95 Tercel is 30 years old rides like the day it was brand new pretty much the same everything air conditioning an automatic transmission fortunately it's been taken care of at every interval buy Toyota itself it was a former rental car it only has 147,000 MI not many people interested in renting a Tercel
I bought a 04 V6 camry with 60.000 miles 3 months ago to be my daily driver and it was the best decision I could have done. Even though I had to do some maintenance, engine and gearbox service, and some corretive stuff, I know it will run for another 20 years 😂
God, My Tercel has a patch of rust the size of a quarter on the rockers by the back wheels, and that drives me nuts. I could never live somewhere that they are constantly salting the roads.
For the yellowed headlights you can buy one of those paste tubes and do the buffing by yourself. The best 11 buck you could ever spend, and the job will be done in like 10 minutes.
What I have started doing (this is the last comment, I promise.) is using R-152a in systems designed for R-12 or R-134a. You can get it very cheaply at any store like wal-mart or office stores, and it is safe for the environment (it is designed to be directly vented.) It is a drop in replacement for either, and I run it in all 3 of my cars (2 designed for R-12 and one for 134a,) and it works great. OKAY, the A/C compressor failing at only 124k miles, that is very untoyotalike of it.
@@bbishoppcm R12 is a pain to find, but it is easily substituted, so it really isn't an issue. I do have 4 cans of R12, but I am not going to use them on a car A/C because they always end up leaking at some point.
I second this I also run R-152A (air duster) in my 2000 VW Jetta with 647,000kms on the odometer designed for 134A and my 93 and 86 Dodge Rams designed for r-12 and it literally blows ice out the vents lol. I find R-152 works really well in vehicles with a TXV vehicles with a clutch cycling orifice tube such as my 96 gmc truck performs better with factory refrigerant
My first car was a used 2005 Camry that I bought back in 2009. Then traded it in for an 04 4Runner, kept that for a few years and traded it and bought a new Tacoma in 2016. You're right about the seating positions being uncomfortable, the Tacoma would kill my lower back on long drives. All this to say I feel the same as you, I never had a problem with them but I have an F150 now and would never go back to a mid size. There's nothing really fun about how Toyotas drive and behave
Heck, my family's *Toyota Rav4* that we bought back in 2001, despite showing her age now, still as reliable to drive as she had been back then. Durable. Reliable. Affordable. That's what you NEED in a car to get you from Point A to B without breaking down on you~
U know it’s good cuz New Hampshire does yearly inspections and it’s passed so far! Most cars you see/find in NH as is or wholesale are the ones that don’t pass
Right place at the right time!!!! 123k miles!! My 2010 matrix went 350k before converter went out This car has PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT!!!! I currently have 07 rav4 125k and 08 Yaris 130k miles bought with 80k My parents have 2 Prius bought new ones a 2010 and 2018…265k on one and 110k miles on other And none have left I stranded
I am driving a 2007 Toyota with 385k mileage no major issues basic maintenance good driving habits never floor the pedal oil change every 5k transmission every 40k.
I bought a 2012 Scion xB last year after my Kia was stolen and wrecked. Scion was a sub-brand of Toyota, so I expect it'll last me several years at least.
Too bad the rust doesn't match the miles/remaining engine life :/ doing a diy fluid film application may slow down the rust! Maybe rust reformer is an easy way to paint over the rust and protect it a bit more
I had owned more than 15 cars, the best car is Corolla, I had 6 Corolla in history, now i have 2 Corolla in my possession, 1 for my daughter, 2022 version, hatchback, I had a very old one 2015, Corolla engine is complete aluminium, lasts 800 000 km easily, you can almost change every part of Corolla so long as you don't smash the body and axle. Corolla is called King of the Road in UK & Australia, it is top seller for more than 3 decades almost every year, beat Hyundai i30 slightly in sales, cheaper than Hyundai now. I almost know everything about Corolla.
Toyotas I’ve owned and Lexus every single one most old some brand new all felt like butter smooth solid vehicles other than my 1993 Corolla and 1993 Camry those felt like cheap old vehicles but my 1998 Lexus GS300 drives butter smooth and solid no interior creeks nothing and it is comfortable and handles like a sports car for the size… Toyota from 2002-2024 has been very solid butter smooth driving vehicles that hold up very very well even with high mileage and what you said about new cars seats are all thing blocks of cushion with either leather or that fake leather cheap vinyl crap an it’s something I don’t want to drive esp on a road trip… I took my 1998 Lexus GS300 on a 2000 mile road trip this summer an camped out of it an slept in the drivers seat for multiple days instead of a tent bc it was so comfortable an it is 26 years old and drove the whole trip perfectly and the video is on my channel for proof… lol I used to HATE toyota/Lexus until my dad was given a 1993 Corolla with 27k miles in 2010 and than gave it to me in 2013 with 114k miles bc he commutes a lot and I drove that thing from Nj to Fl an than straight through from FL to Colorado a 40 hour drive straight 😂😂 and it handled it like a champ
Hey! My 2009 Focus runs like a top and has not a single issue! 😂 With that being said, that's probably because I've only put 62,500 miles on it. Also, my 2009 Prius runs strong as heck at 251K miles on it.
This was my first car. Transmission gave out at 170,000 miles, could have fixed it, but got a new one instead. It looks like you haven't gotten there yet.
Toyota is the only car brand that I buy. I had an 04’ Corolla for 18 years and 103,000, and absolutely no issues other than the exhaust. I went to and currently have a Rav 4. The RAV4 is good, but it has had some minor issues that the Corolla never had. Toyota still makes a great car, but I would stay with their two legacy models: Camry and Corolla.
The problem of this 2005 toyota corolla Ce is about air fuel ratio sensor is the big problem it's always not ready about the emissions tesr.Pain in the ass.
This car is likely getting scrapped. My dad brought this over to a shop owner/friend of his and they put it on a lift - this thing is absolutely falling apart in ways you just cannot see. It's a crying shame... it's absolutely unbelievable the amount of hidden damage occurs due to salt exposure BEFORE it ever becomes noticeable. Either way, he's passing it along to someone else at this point.
Funny thing you say that the Toyota dealer left a bad taste, that is the reason I’ve never bought a Toyota every dealer I’ve gone to they’re always rude and make it seem like you’re wasting there time.
That was the plan, but my uncle was dragging his feet and my cousin was happy with the car he already had - but it had to go anyway, so I gave it to my dad (with their blessing).
Not taking a pretty much free car with very low miles because it is an automatic seems crazy to me.
agreed, that is what I thought. That cousin must not be that much in need then.
Some people are extremely entitled.
Some people hear corolla and just think beat up shitbox meanwhile they drive a car thats probably left them stranded a few times.
@@WalterKnox I thought an auto is the go to choice in the US!?

The Corolla this TH-camr is driving us one of the funniest cars I've ever driven. It got pep, decent in corners, and reliable.
Every car can be fun or boring, it all depends on how you drive

I have a 2005 Corolla and it's got 385,000 miles!!!!! This thing will last forever. You got such a steal! Congrats to your father.
It’s getting scrapped, more than likely. More to come.

The only thing that matters when owning a car is dependability, reliability, and maintainability. Everything else is irrational.

I have an 18 year old Tacoma I absolutely love. Not a rattle to be heard and a new frame and lease on life.
My dad and I have been maintaining my moms corolla, even a while ago we did a rear disc conversion. We used the rear disc assembly from a matrix xrs
These 9th gen Corolla's are good cars.
love those corollas... i had an 01 celica gt and that was the best car ive ever owned. I also have an 04 tacoma that i adore.
Great cars. I believe that generation of toyota uses the 1zz-fe engine which was shared between the matrix/vibe too. Had a vibe with the same power train go a quarter million miles before the rust belt took its toll and the awd system broke down on it. Timing chain lasts the life of the motor. Did a valve cover gasket at 220k and the guides still looked new.
AC compressors are cheap you can get a reman unit for around 100$ The matrix/vibe had issues with the blend door actuator clicking they all go bad. If its stuck on defrost or outside air you can open the actuator and rotate the plastic gears 180 degrees to get more life out of it.
Check the front rockers by the wheel well too. Sometimes the fender liners get out of whack and snow/mud gets packed in the gap and rusts under the rocker skirt. Odometers all stop at 299K too that car will run forever if the body doesn't rust around it
Seems like a winner of a car. This steering wheel is my favorite from Toyota, It's in my 01' Celica. Not as nice as my 88' Supras, but it still feels super modern, without being a pillow or full of buttons (mine has shifting buttons on either side)
You're not going to get a better vehicle and hell neither of my cars have a display (though I prefer it that way, I really don't like them)
Bro, a second hand 2005 toyota camry with 150k milage cost $2,250 here in philippines and an old model corolla still cost $1,250 😂 thats a great deal for $1
In pa the sheetz gas stations have super nice free air pumps, so it is a weird feeling to be at a gas station with a paid air pump. Though some are nice and may fill your tires for free.
It wouldn't be a ninth gen corolla if that cubby by the shifter stayed shut. I loved mine, i got it when it had 140k and drove it till it had 300K and got what i paid for it three years Later best car i ever owned.
The clock in these likes to go. The solder on the circuit board cracks. Easy fix wit a soldering iron.
It's just well broken in - I drive a 2001 Tacoma with 225k - still runs and drives like new - which is why I also own a Tundra and a Lexus...
Brings new meaning to "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
Finally you've crossed over to the promised land of Toyotas. Glad you've seen the light.
Oh, hold your horses - This is now my Dad's beater car - I still have three Mazdas in my driveway!
@@bbishoppcmThat's the best beater car you can find. It will outlast modern cars.
@@bbishoppcm these lights are the same my brother. toyota and mazda have both received the mandate of heaven
I daily drive a 1999 Corolla, 1,6, manuell and never let me down😎🇧🇻
I bought an 05 civic a year ago. Nothing wrong with the engine or body. All it needed was some suspension, brake, and some oil leaks needed to be fixed. Had 136k miles on it
My 95 Tercel is 30 years old rides like the day it was brand new pretty much the same everything air conditioning an automatic transmission fortunately it's been taken care of at every interval buy Toyota itself it was a former rental car it only has 147,000 MI not many people interested in renting a Tercel
2003 Pontiac Vibe here, I paid $1,400. People haven no idea how good these old cheap Toyotas are
I bought a 04 V6 camry with 60.000 miles 3 months ago to be my daily driver and it was the best decision I could have done. Even though I had to do some maintenance, engine and gearbox service, and some corretive stuff, I know it will run for another 20 years 😂
I have a 2007 Corolla LE with 280k miles. Has a few issues and throws a few belts every now and then. But otherwise is a solid car!
I got a rav4 and would be happy with just having rav4s for the rest of my life. Toyotas just work.
God, My Tercel has a patch of rust the size of a quarter on the rockers by the back wheels, and that drives me nuts. I could never live somewhere that they are constantly salting the roads.
For the yellowed headlights you can buy one of those paste tubes and do the buffing by yourself. The best 11 buck you could ever spend, and the job will be done in like 10 minutes.
Buying a car in todays markets should be all about reliability. Nothing more. I'm surprised this car has any issues at that milage .
1995 Corolla with 260,000 miles and runs like Swiss watch!
What I have started doing (this is the last comment, I promise.) is using R-152a in systems designed for R-12 or R-134a. You can get it very cheaply at any store like wal-mart or office stores, and it is safe for the environment (it is designed to be directly vented.) It is a drop in replacement for either, and I run it in all 3 of my cars (2 designed for R-12 and one for 134a,) and it works great. OKAY, the A/C compressor failing at only 124k miles, that is very untoyotalike of it.
Fortunately, none of my vehicles are old enough for R12; even my ‘94 Miata is R134a
@@bbishoppcm R12 is a pain to find, but it is easily substituted, so it really isn't an issue. I do have 4 cans of R12, but I am not going to use them on a car A/C because they always end up leaking at some point.
I second this I also run R-152A (air duster) in my 2000 VW Jetta with 647,000kms on the odometer designed for 134A and my 93 and 86 Dodge Rams designed for r-12 and it literally blows ice out the vents lol. I find R-152 works really well in vehicles with a TXV vehicles with a clutch cycling orifice tube such as my 96 gmc truck performs better with factory refrigerant
I saw this recently in a junkyard dogs video and didn’t realize it was possible
That's a $10k car here in Texas! A/C wouldn't be a tough fix.
This car has a timing chain, not a timing belt.
My first car was a used 2005 Camry that I bought back in 2009. Then traded it in for an 04 4Runner, kept that for a few years and traded it and bought a new Tacoma in 2016. You're right about the seating positions being uncomfortable, the Tacoma would kill my lower back on long drives. All this to say I feel the same as you, I never had a problem with them but I have an F150 now and would never go back to a mid size. There's nothing really fun about how Toyotas drive and behave
52:08 not agreeing with you on that, VW's 1.9L TDI engines for exemple are known to be pretty indestructible
$1300 for a 2005 Corolla with 123k miles bro even that’s a steal you can sell that for $5500 easily in my area so a $1 is a steal
Yout not going to find a 20 year old Dodge Neon that doesn't need work
You won't find a Dodge Neon. Anywhere. Period.
Heck, my family's *Toyota Rav4* that we bought back in 2001, despite showing her age now, still as reliable to drive as she had been back then.
Durable. Reliable. Affordable.
That's what you NEED in a car to get you from Point A to B without breaking down on you~
for 1 buck you cannot ask for a brand new car conditions.
I have a 2005 Corolla LE and my engine bay looks brand new. It has 122,500 miles.
Next time I see you, I'll probably be in the Avalon or the ES 350. I'll have to let you take the wheel for a bit :)
U know it’s good cuz New Hampshire does yearly inspections and it’s passed so far! Most cars you see/find in NH as is or wholesale are the ones that don’t pass
Car’s getting scrapped more than likely. Video coming once I get my voice back from the flu.
I really need this car
I love my 2005 Corolla s 220,0000 miles and runs great 👍
2:45
That dash AC control section with the storage bin open, makes a wierdo face 😑
Right place at the right time!!!! 123k miles!! My 2010 matrix went 350k before converter went out
This car has PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT!!!!
I currently have 07 rav4 125k and 08 Yaris 130k miles bought with 80k
My parents have 2 Prius bought new ones a 2010 and 2018…265k on one and 110k miles on other
And none have left I stranded
I am driving a 2007 Toyota with 385k mileage no major issues basic maintenance good driving habits never floor the pedal oil change every 5k transmission every 40k.
I bought a 2012 Scion xB last year after my Kia was stolen and wrecked. Scion was a sub-brand of Toyota, so I expect it'll last me several years at least.
Too bad the rust doesn't match the miles/remaining engine life :/ doing a diy fluid film application may slow down the rust! Maybe rust reformer is an easy way to paint over the rust and protect it a bit more
Some have complained that Toyota's are boring. Some Toyota dealers don't treat you very nice.
I had owned more than 15 cars, the best car is Corolla, I had 6 Corolla in history, now i have 2 Corolla in my possession, 1 for my daughter, 2022 version, hatchback, I had a very old one 2015, Corolla engine is complete aluminium, lasts 800 000 km easily, you can almost change every part of Corolla so long as you don't smash the body and axle. Corolla is called King of the Road in UK & Australia, it is top seller for more than 3 decades almost every year, beat Hyundai i30 slightly in sales, cheaper than Hyundai now. I almost know everything about Corolla.
I love Toyotas! I have a Honda Civic with 124k miles (2015 automatic)
Toyotas I’ve owned and Lexus every single one most old some brand new all felt like butter smooth solid vehicles other than my 1993 Corolla and 1993 Camry those felt like cheap old vehicles but my 1998 Lexus GS300 drives butter smooth and solid no interior creeks nothing and it is comfortable and handles like a sports car for the size… Toyota from 2002-2024 has been very solid butter smooth driving vehicles that hold up very very well even with high mileage and what you said about new cars seats are all thing blocks of cushion with either leather or that fake leather cheap vinyl crap an it’s something I don’t want to drive esp on a road trip… I took my 1998 Lexus GS300 on a 2000 mile road trip this summer an camped out of it an slept in the drivers seat for multiple days instead of a tent bc it was so comfortable an it is 26 years old and drove the whole trip perfectly and the video is on my channel for proof… lol I used to HATE toyota/Lexus until my dad was given a 1993 Corolla with 27k miles in 2010 and than gave it to me in 2013 with 114k miles bc he commutes a lot and I drove that thing from Nj to Fl an than straight through from FL to Colorado a 40 hour drive straight 😂😂 and it handled it like a champ
Hey! My 2009 Focus runs like a top and has not a single issue! 😂 With that being said, that's probably because I've only put 62,500 miles on it.
Also, my 2009 Prius runs strong as heck at 251K miles on it.
Most Toyota's have a non-inference engine, so if the belt breaks it won't damage the engine
It's a timing chain, not belt.
Best beater cars to keep your toys low miles
That car has a timing chain
Headlights are cloudy and should be replaced or polished. The engine cover is missing
Car’s getting scrapped more than likely. Video coming once I get my voice back from the flu.
@@bbishoppcm that is unfortunate that it is rusty, otherwise it would be great car
This was my first car. Transmission gave out at 170,000 miles, could have fixed it, but got a new one instead. It looks like you haven't gotten there yet.
Toyota is the only car brand that I buy. I had an 04’ Corolla for 18 years and 103,000, and absolutely no issues other than the exhaust. I went to and currently have a Rav 4. The RAV4 is good, but it has had some minor issues that the Corolla never had. Toyota still makes a great car, but I would stay with their two legacy models: Camry and Corolla.
Sooo why are you going to scrap the car?
Because it's structurally compromised.
The problem of this 2005 toyota corolla Ce is about air fuel ratio sensor is the big problem it's always not ready about the emissions tesr.Pain in the ass.
Canterbury NH?
Wow! Im in the market for one. Thats a 6,000 dollar car near me.
People often say, "A Toyota will outlast you"... Well, I guess in this case, they are right.
1300$? I will definitely buy it!
Toyota only offers heat seats on the leather seats
Did I spy an electric bike around the 30 minute mark?
God knows I need a car right now 🤲🏼😗
Corolla is best car ever made , ever!!!!!!
Need a car like in Nigeria... Please
You'll be able to double that mileage for little investment. We've owned them. 300k easily. Just change the oil. We love our toyotas.
This car is likely getting scrapped. My dad brought this over to a shop owner/friend of his and they put it on a lift - this thing is absolutely falling apart in ways you just cannot see. It's a crying shame... it's absolutely unbelievable the amount of hidden damage occurs due to salt exposure BEFORE it ever becomes noticeable. Either way, he's passing it along to someone else at this point.
Well least you know that if it doesn’t pass you can sell it to carmax for $1.000
trading the miata in for a mr2?
Funny thing you say that the Toyota dealer left a bad taste, that is the reason I’ve never bought a Toyota every dealer I’ve gone to they’re always rude and make it seem like you’re wasting there time.
I drive a 2023 cx5 preferred
Hey!! New Hampshire!!!
If that was from Texas it'd be $3500 all day long, paint faded from sun
More than that with low mileage! Have you looked on CarGurus lately, $10k all day!
8:25 It's gonna be your Dad's? I thought the lady gave it to you for $1 because your little cousin needed a car?
That was the plan, but my uncle was dragging his feet and my cousin was happy with the car he already had - but it had to go anyway, so I gave it to my dad (with their blessing).
