I bought a 2010 Corolla with over 275k miles 9 mos ago. Had its service at 280k and told by all mechanics that it is in great shape. 2nd family owners.
I'm an auto damage appraiser and see a lot of cars. I appraised a 94 Corolla with 400,000 miles. I asked the owner when he rebuilt the transmission, he said never. I asked the same about the engine, nope, never had to. It was whisper quiet and we did repair the car. I bought my 98 Nissan Frontier with 165,000 miles sight unseen on Ebay. I took Amtrack to Maryland and drove it home. 11 years later it had about 350,000 miles, no noises or leaks, it drove like new. I did the typical maintenance, a couple of batteries, tires, brakes, exhaust, alternator, and a carrier bearing for the drive shaft. You have to know what you're buying and maintain it, that's all.
I've got a 2010 Corolla that belonged to my mother, who never did any maintenance and never drove on the highway. I got it with 80k miles and drove the entire width of New York state (good flat roads) and got a staggering 42 MPG. Drove it back packed full of boxes of books and still got 38 MPG. It still runs like a clock, although I change the oil, etc. It doesn't get the best mileage in town, but it's cheap to operate and awfully reliable. My girlfriend's Honda Fit is still an even better do-it-all urban car, but the Corolla is outstanding.
Before I would've never even thought to mess with a car with 150k+ miles but now I'm looking at a Lexus CT 200h Premium that has a freshly replaced battery with new tires with renewed vigor. Been watching your videos for a month or so now as I've been looking at cars and your advice has been invaluable. Thank you, Scotty Kilmer.
The corolla is a blessing from toyota My dad bought a 2012 manual corolla brand new and put 800,000km on it still has the original engine and tranny and still drives it every day no issues drives like a dream to this day.
Is it not 800.000km and from 2012 to 2023. ≈11 years so that is 72.727km/year. (this year 2024 has just begun and probably he did not buy his car 1 Jan 2012 either) At a average spread of ≈60km/h. That is 1212 hours each year. When it most probably is used for some kind of work and the father don't sit in the car his whole life. 😉 Then we have 250 to 260 workdays in a year according to Google. When it is many miles maybe working a lot so say we take 260 days then. 1212/260 gives 4.662 and that is ≈ 4h and 40 min each work day. 😮 I hope it is not commute back and fort when that is just enveriomental waste with time and resources.😅
I have one too, just like yours. Bought it in 2018 with only 68,000 miles on it. It had been on a dealer's lot for a month and they could not sell it because nobody wanted a stick shift. Like you, that is EXACTLY what I wanted. Six years later I have 121,000 miles on it and it runs great. Drove it from Minneapolis to California and back a coupe of years ago and on a couple of legs I got 40 mpg at 75 mph. I absolutely love this car.
I have a 2012 corolla with 94,000 miles on it,I change the oil every 5 000 miles, had the transmission fluid changed,and the coolant replaced. I hope it lasts a long time😊
My sister in law has a 2012, only oil changes,trans fluid and breaks,tires. She has 250k and the damn car still runs like new. Could use some shocks.thats about it.
My Dad’s 2011 has got over 250,000. He bought a new car…Subaru Outback, cause he needed a bigger car for skiing and construction, but never got rid of the Corolla because it simply refuses to die. Its nostalgic for me to see it because I drove it in High School and took my license exam in it. He just drives it on the highway every weekend or when he goes to the city and keeps up on maintenance. Uses Gumout and high-mileage formula Mobil 1 oil. Its a small, tinny body but the chassis underneath is bulletproof, every time he hits the key, it starts right up and never sounds like its running rough, never sounds like an “old car.” Its an American Market model but was assembled in Japan and the legend is that the Corollas that were made in Japan are the best ones.
Yeah, Scotty is 99% responsible for the fact I drive a 9 year old Rav4. I get depressed every time I watch one of his Toyota videos. I mean, the Rav4 is nice enough, but it is not exciting. And to hear him tell it, the way I keep it maintained, it might be the last vehicle in my lifetime that I buy. LoL
I bought a 2010 Camry SLE with 200k on it and it's run like a top, no noise, V6 engine, very happy with the purchase. Starts like a dream even in Minnesota winters
I really liked my 2005 corolla, but I'm too tall. my choice was to slouch, hurt my back or sit up and risk dame bramage.. sold it to save me back. What a reliable car, best I ever had.
My 99 Camry at 250,000 runs and idles smooth as silk oil useage less than a pint between oil changes mostly because of valve cover gasket. I’ve replaced timing belt 2 times once at 70,000 and the other one at 240,000 when it broke at 65 mph no damage to engine it just quit a new one can’t do that. I’ve only had normal maintenance issues like brakes and struts tires brakes ect I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it cross country anytime.
Watching a Scotty upload makes my back brain instantly want to search for an older Toyota. Currently own a 1993 Geo Prizm with a Tercel engine. It still runs beautiful after 30 years! Just do all the prevention maintenance and listen to Scotty, you will not see a tow truck until you know it is time.
I`m buying a 2011 Toyota Camry . 260,000 miles and standing next to it you can barely hear it run . Accelerates great and goes straight as an arrow down the road . My daughter has the same year Corolla which she bought new . Still going strong .
Scotty I've been watching a lot of your videos and you talked me into buying a 2010 Toyota Corolla. It looks almost exactly like this one. I paid $6200 for it. It's a very reliable car. Since buying it I did have to get a battery, alternator and starter, but what do you expect. It's 14 yrs old. The engine and trans run great. It has 150k miles, but the engine was replaced with approx 30k miles (according to the previous owner 🤔). You have convinced me on Toyotas. Thank you for providing your wisdom and knowledge on cars. Plus it came with a bonus, an Apple Carplay stereo with a backup camera. 😎
I'd buy a Toyota with over 200k miles any day. In fact I got a 3.4l engine out of a 97' tacoma with 250k miles and installed that into my pickup that originally came with a 4cyl that had 550k miles. Did cylinder head gaskets because the engine was pre gasket update, new timing belt, and new spark plugs. When I have the cylinder heads off I inspected the cylinder walls, and I was surprised but not really to find I could still see hone makes. Did a V6 conversion because well there is no replacement for displacement, even though the 4cyl was doing just fine.
After this video I am buying a set of CRO505 and CRF505 with confidence. I have a 2009 Corolla with 330k miles on it. But I am hesitant to pour these products on a car with such mileage. Now that I watched Scotty try some of that cleaner on a Corolla I feel so much relief. Thanks Scotty
had a 2010 Corolla, purchased @ 140,000 miles in 2017, by 2022, it had 235,000 and its life cut short by a side swipe that totaled it. Those are great cars
Yes! Changed the pads on the front 3 times and the front rotors once. 3 batteries, 3rd set of tires, and changed the spark plugs twice. Otherwise nothing else except oil changes.@@pedrosason1935
you are an honest man! The world needs more mechanics and people like you! I’m a longtime subscriber, and I listen to your advice/experience. I want a super fun car BUT I know that Toyota is the way to go.
I just got a 2010 le corolla with 126k miles for $5,500. It's problem was it needed the basic beauty repairs (brakes, rotors, drums, lights, tpms, battery). These repairs are easy, and only costed another $1000. Be like Scotty.
I leased a 2014 Corolla for 2 years, it had the CVT. Absolute worst driving dynamics of any vehicle I've ever driven in my life (& I've been driving since the mid-80s). I surely hope they've gotten a lot better with their CVT as it was completely atrocious. My mom had a CVT Subaru for a # of years & as non-CVT-liking I am, the Subaru CVT was in another universe (better) than the '14 Toyota Corolla one had in it.
I have a 2008 nissian Sentra. I bought it with 4 miles in n it. As of now I have 116,000 miles. She still runs like a champ. Just doing the basic from time to time
I want one of these, or a Civic or an Accord with a manual transmission. They're simple, changing the fluid is amazingly simple, and they always last forever. There are pretty well _no_ poorly made manual transmissions anymore.
I had a brand new 2012 corolla that is still on the road today 2ith 245,000+KM . I sold it to my nephew and he is still using it 🙃. Toyota is the way to go 😎
I helped a friend sell her well maintained Corolla with 239,000 miles. She was hoping to get $1000. I said no way, I got $2500 and it was a steal. The kicker is a mechanic bought it. Listen to Scotty
Took my 2008 Subaru to a transmission shop for a fluid and filter change back while living in Charleston. The shop owner saw the car and said that I had an older one that still had “the good transmission” and all he usually had to do to those was the necessary changing of the fluid and filter. He also stated that he had a lot of business working on the newer Subarus and their CVT transmissions. I agree that the older gear transmissions are better.🤙🏻
I bought a Toyota Auris(Corolla), 2018., Black Edition e180, with 1.6 petrol 1zr-fae engine, dual vvti with valvematic, 4 cylinder 16 valve, manual 6 speed. With 50000km(30000 miles) on it. Love the car. And i love your content.
I just broke 300k miles in my 2002 Toyota Avalon and aside from normal maintenance the car runs like a champ. It has the original engine which hasn't been opened and is on its second transmission. As a Lexus technician myself I would definitely recommend getting a Toyota because for the most part they're built to last.
I've got a 2000 Acura TL that's about to turn 260,000 miles. None of the fancy bells and whistles (one of the first navigation systems with a DVD in the trunk...lol), but I love it! Original owner, so I know it's been taken care of over the years. I've been using the Lucas Hi Mileage Fuel Treatment, and that's helped a lot. I think I'll try Scotty's friend's and see how that works!
And it's not like it's hard to change them. Buy the sensors from the dealer and you will need to take out a loan! You can get oem ones from other sources or use good after market like Autel and save a lot. I like knowing the exact pressure in my tires.
If one has a Mirage buy four Autel sensors and clone the ones in the existing tires. You will thank me if any of the factory ones die. It is a pain to get new ones to pair to the car.
I have owned several Toyota Corollas and they are amazing! I bought a Scion tC in 2006 and It is still an amazing car! I have only had to replace the oil, tires and the battery.
been listening to people for whole my young life toyota is the best. i clicked years ago when you made a video...... i fix cars from monday to friday, if you think im gonna fix my car on weekend... aaaaa. so i bought one. a prius 2nd gen. best car i ever bought. its a modern volkswagen golf 2. it keeps on going and going and going. puts duracell to shame😂
What year Toyota is the best to buy? Saving up to get a car for my son. Corolla or Camry. How do you compare them to the older Honda's and Hyundai's ? Which one is better? Sorry for so many questions.
@@freedomfightergrl5615 dont know. depend on what you want for your son.... a beat up car or safe car that doesent brake..... i had a 2006 prius. still going like no tommorow. hyundai is crap so stay away. old hondas and mazdas for that matter were good so i hear up to year 2000 then everything is going downhill. if you want a car that doesent brake buy a gasoline toyota. btw your young son i presume will get bored of his car fast so try buying something you can use after
I got you beat, I owned a 2006 Pontiac G6 V6 with 290+K miles. Sadly it was killed by salt water flooding. Died in 2016. Mechanically fine, only issue was the stupid electric power steering. Everything else worked and was in pretty good cosmetic condition.
I have a 2007 Corolla LE that I bought brand new in 07, it currently has approx 330k miles ( odometer stopped reporting after 299,999 miles ) . I replaced the water pump 3xs ,changed the oil regularly . Gave it to my daughter, the car still runs like a champ . Would trust it to drive to Cali and back !!
Scotty... Enjoy your channel... maybe too much. My Matrix got to 299,999 and the odometer stopped but the car is awesome and still goes great. What's up with that?
This is one thing I like, simple cars have less to break. My car is a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage ES, although it's new, it has the bare minimum. It has a backup camera, and forward collision mitigation. That's about it. It has power windows, AC, radio, and a basic CVT. Is it bullet proof? No. But it's easier to work on than most new cars, and it's very simple.
Scotty, love your videos but one suggestion. When you are showing a product like this fuel treatment or any other pruduct that you have in your hand , hold it steady in front of the camera for about two seconds so it can be seen easily. Cheers
Scotty, that Toyota Corolla is definitely going to pass 500k if the driver do the regular maintenance like the first owner did it. I rather to own Toyotas than any other brand in the World cause i know that Toyotas won't fail me.
Scotty, what diesel fuel additive should I use on used car? Should it be something with PEA? What additive from Liqui Moly can you recommend? Thank you!
One thing I won't put in my car is high mileage oil.I don't need my seals to swell,they're fine -thank you.Because I change my engine oil when I should,all the time.
I wasn't taught to back up using the rear view mirror (Scotty gave bad advice). I was taught to turn around and look. My wife had an accident in a parking lot using the rear view mirror backing out of a parking space. She didn't see the car driving toward her. A rear view mirror does not see left or right.
My '05 Camry has 247,000 miles and the only trouble code is the downstream o2 sensor. It has had the transmission replaced with a used one. And Scotty has already told me how to remedy that.
The late 60's chevy strait 6 & powerglide also last forever & the former has no timing chain or belt! & both are tons less complicated than those in the toyota above. No hesitation with 1 bbl monojet carb - u'd swear it was fuel injected.
Big whoop! My k 2011 kia Sportage has 313,000 miles on it and still running perfect. No rust! No leaks! Everything still works! All original except the usual suspects like brakes,tires, timing belt at 250,000 miles. No suspension work yet. Never had the transmission fluid changed. And I only spuraticaly change the oil about every 6,000 miles. I still Average 26 mpg! Scotty is obviously bias against anything but toyotas. Needless to say the Koreans make excellent cars too.
"Who would buy a used car with 200,000 miles?" Here, sir! 👋 2003 Toyota Matrix, had 208k miles on the clock when purchased in September of last year. As of last night when I got home from work it has just shy of 220,000 miles. 😉 Taking it in tomorrow morning to have a mechanic give it a once-over plus do some routine maintenance (transmission service & serpentine belt replacement). So far, it's had tires & MAF sensor replaced.
i have a 1964 chevy 11 153 4 cylinder power glide trans power steering air conditioning put it up against anything for good transportation and i added cruise
I got a Buick LeSabre for pocket money. 185k. Had it checked out. Passed all checks. Gets decent gas mileage and every single option works. It’s an interim car until I can get my next nice car.
I always wanted Scotty to do a review on my car, and now he did. I have a 13 with 83k on the clock, and it’s been great. He is right, though. It’s simple, easy, and *slow*. 😂 But it always does the job.
I would change all the fluids and filters and I would look into any codes that might involve safety issues or bad fuel economy and yes, it’s a very simple Toyota Corolla when you compare it to the 24 model and five W-2 motor oil for high mileage engines probably wouldn’t hurt
I bought a 96 Honda Accord with 220,000 miles...drove it mostly City for the next 7 years....had 330,000 miles before I had to junk it...paid $1,600...
I had an 09 Corolla in 2015 for my first car drove it 5 years and put 90k on it with only a water pump and got 3500 for it with 165k in late 2020 when I got my CX-5 :) Loved that car
Two years ago, i watched a Scotty you tube, and he said if you come accross an older Lexus, in good shape with low miles on it, "buy it!". so i did. A 2000 Lexus RX300 with only 114k on it.. after two years use, only minor repairs, but he forgot to say it drinks gas like a Cadillac Escalade! 15 to 16 mpg city, 17 or so country. No wonder in had low milage on it. If something major goes kaput, so might my life savings! "lesson learned."
so what are the best years of the Corolla to buy according to Scotty's likes? the same transmission and engine as this 2012?? what are the other years with comparable technology?
bad caps of the 1990's played havoc with car ECU's 02-11-2013, 01:43 AM the Nichicon PF (M) series from the late 1980's through most of the 1990's had leakage issues, these caps played havoc with many automotive ECU's, especially high end Japanese cars. (i.e. Lexus LS400, Toyota Supra, etc.) The problem was the use of quaternary ammonium salts. the following capacitors from this time period had issues: Nichicon: RZ, RT, VZ, ET, PR, PY, PF, PL, PQ, PG, MX, WX, WP, MP Nippon Chemicon: LXF, TXF, SXE, SXG, MVK, MFK, MVF, MFF Elna: RSH, RSG, RSE, RC2S, RC3S The production of capacitors that contain quaternary ammonium salt compounds was ended in September 1998. The final one was Nichicon PF series. The PF series was kind of special version with expensive materials both rubbers and lead wires used. These had extended lifespan over the other caps above, but still it was shorter than conventional ones.
Quick question Scotty; I have tried your lacquer thinner idea on my 4.7l Tundra. I didn’t have a cel on the dash and the engine seemed to like it. How often should a person put a gallon into half a tank of fuel for preventative maintenance?
I bought a 2012 rav 4 and now it has alot of thumping and banging in the rear suspension. A check buy Mr mechanic on the lift found 0 issues with any suspension parts. The car has new front struts and bran new rear GAS shocks. Brake ar all new and tight. What's all the banging about?
Curious as to when costs for a high mileage car become exorbitant? I have a 2010 Honda Accord coupe, 185k miles on a vtech 6 cylinder engine. Seems to run fine although a little rough on start up, and my basic code reader shows catalytic converter (but there are 3 on my car), and the more pressing issue is the power steering line and RACK is leaking? I'm currently carrying extra power steering fluid and monitoring how quickly it runs low. But to replace that I'm being quoted over 2k due to 9 hours of labor to replace the rack. Just not sure if you have any recommendations on what price point to replace a vehicle
I have a 2009 Corolla now with 322,000 miles and the original transmission. I’ve had it since 100,000 miles. Somehow, I’ve never had to replace the belt. I’ve gone through two alternators, two axels, two batteries and starting last year, all the coils. I didn’t even know what a coil was. No plug wires? Bloody cover on top I never noticed.

Crazy
66,000km per year, for the last 12 years? What is the car used for? That's extreme mileage, for personal use.
Is it not 800.000km and from 2012 to 2023. ≈11 years so that is 72.727km/year. (this year 2024 has just begun and probably he did not buy his car 1 Jan 2012 either)
At a average spread of ≈60km/h. That is 1212 hours each year.
When it most probably is used for some kind of work and the father don't sit in the car his whole life. 😉
Then we have 250 to 260 workdays in a year according to Google.
When it is many miles maybe working a lot so say we take 260 days then.
1212/260 gives 4.662 and that is ≈ 4h and 40 min each work day. 😮

Because of Scotty, I purchased a 2008 Corolla 1.8L, 4 speed. I love the car. 100k miles and full service records. I look to get 500k miles or more. :)
I have one too, just like yours. Bought it in 2018 with only 68,000 miles on it. It had been on a dealer's lot for a month and they could not sell it because nobody wanted a stick shift. Like you, that is EXACTLY what I wanted. Six years later I have 121,000 miles on it and it runs great. Drove it from Minneapolis to California and back a coupe of years ago and on a couple of legs I got 40 mpg at 75 mph. I absolutely love this car.
Scotty, I currently own a 2017 Corolla LE with the CVT and it has 210,000 miles on it. Runs fine no issues everything works.
GZ, how much you drive 🤯
@@Trent_Moorman right at 150 miles a day round trip.
I have a 2012 corolla with 94,000 miles on it,I change the oil every 5 000 miles, had the transmission fluid changed,and the coolant replaced. I hope it lasts a long time😊
It will probably out live you 😀
Just getting broken in!
My sister in law has a 2012, only oil changes,trans fluid and breaks,tires. She has 250k and the damn car still runs like new. Could use some shocks.thats about it.
I suggest every 3000 miles or even every 4000 miles
Scotty and my mechanic both say 3000 miles.
My Dad’s 2011 has got over 250,000. He bought a new car…Subaru Outback, cause he needed a bigger car for skiing and construction, but never got rid of the Corolla because it simply refuses to die. Its nostalgic for me to see it because I drove it in High School and took my license exam in it. He just drives it on the highway every weekend or when he goes to the city and keeps up on maintenance. Uses Gumout and high-mileage formula Mobil 1 oil. Its a small, tinny body but the chassis underneath is bulletproof, every time he hits the key, it starts right up and never sounds like its running rough, never sounds like an “old car.” Its an American Market model but was assembled in Japan and the legend is that the Corollas that were made in Japan are the best ones.
Yea the Japan made one's are the best built. I would not buy any other.
I've got a 2003 Toyota Corolla with 157k and it rides like brand new. Very smooth!
LOL if that car only has 157k it is still brand new!!! 157k is really 3-4 years driving
No beauty cover is safe when Scotty is around
As long as he puts it back on properly 😊
He’s beauty cover K
Bingo 😂
Except VW’s they need it 😅
It is a Beauty on the Beast!
I helped my mom find a 2013 corolla 3 years ago which was last of those 4 speeds because of you scotty!
Yeah, Scotty is 99% responsible for the fact I drive a 9 year old Rav4. I get depressed every time I watch one of his Toyota videos. I mean, the Rav4 is nice enough, but it is not exciting. And to hear him tell it, the way I keep it maintained, it might be the last vehicle in my lifetime that I buy. LoL
I bought a 2010 Camry SLE with 200k on it and it's run like a top, no noise, V6 engine, very happy with the purchase. Starts like a dream even in Minnesota winters
I really liked my 2005 corolla, but I'm too tall. my choice was to slouch, hurt my back or sit up and risk dame bramage.. sold it to save me back. What a reliable car, best I ever had.
May i ask what you changed it for please? I am 5ft 9 and we have a 6ft 2" family member too and I was about to buy this model.
I put Bernie's cleaner in my Echo. Drove it 15 minutes. Turned it into a Lexus.😊
I can not find Bernie's cleaner. Where do you get?
@@MooseLodge59it's the product Scotty uses in this video, Bernie is the name of one of the people who makes it
My 99 Camry at 250,000 runs and idles smooth as silk oil useage less than a pint between oil changes mostly because of valve cover gasket. I’ve replaced timing belt 2 times once at 70,000 and the other one at 240,000 when it broke at 65 mph no damage to engine it just quit a new one can’t do that. I’ve only had normal maintenance issues like brakes and struts tires brakes ect I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it cross country anytime.
Watching a Scotty upload makes my back brain instantly want to search for an older Toyota. Currently own a 1993 Geo Prizm with a Tercel engine. It still runs beautiful after 30 years! Just do all the prevention maintenance and listen to Scotty, you will not see a tow truck until you know it is time.
I`m buying a 2011 Toyota Camry . 260,000 miles and standing next to it you can barely hear it run . Accelerates great and goes straight as an arrow down the road . My daughter has the same year Corolla which she bought new . Still going strong .
Scotty I've been watching a lot of your videos and you talked me into buying a 2010 Toyota Corolla. It looks almost exactly like this one. I paid $6200 for it. It's a very reliable car. Since buying it I did have to get a battery, alternator and starter, but what do you expect. It's 14 yrs old. The engine and trans run great. It has 150k miles, but the engine was replaced with approx 30k miles (according to the previous owner 🤔). You have convinced me on Toyotas. Thank you for providing your wisdom and knowledge on cars. Plus it came with a bonus, an Apple Carplay stereo with a backup camera. 😎
I'd buy a Toyota with over 200k miles any day. In fact I got a 3.4l engine out of a 97' tacoma with 250k miles and installed that into my pickup that originally came with a 4cyl that had 550k miles. Did cylinder head gaskets because the engine was pre gasket update, new timing belt, and new spark plugs. When I have the cylinder heads off I inspected the cylinder walls, and I was surprised but not really to find I could still see hone makes. Did a V6 conversion because well there is no replacement for displacement, even though the 4cyl was doing just fine.
After this video I am buying a set of CRO505 and CRF505 with confidence. I have a 2009 Corolla with 330k miles on it. But I am hesitant to pour these products on a car with such mileage. Now that I watched Scotty try some of that cleaner on a Corolla I feel so much relief. Thanks Scotty
Don't put any cleaners if you don't need it. Make sure to get a scan on the car before doing anything. If it's running fine, don't mess with it. 👍🏽
Use Chevron Techron..it works PERFECT
had a 2010 Corolla, purchased @ 140,000 miles in 2017, by 2022, it had 235,000 and its life cut short by a side swipe that totaled it. Those are great cars
Dang...
I have a 2015 Corolla with 285000 miles gets 43 mpg uses just a little oil but runs just like day 1. Still have the original rear brakes.
Original rear brakes?
Yes! Changed the pads on the front 3 times and the front rotors once. 3 batteries, 3rd set of tires, and changed the spark plugs twice. Otherwise nothing else except oil changes.@@pedrosason1935
you are an honest man! The world needs more mechanics and people like you! I’m a longtime subscriber, and I listen to your advice/experience. I want a super fun car BUT I know that Toyota is the way to go.
I just got a 2010 le corolla with 126k miles for $5,500. It's problem was it needed the basic beauty repairs (brakes, rotors, drums, lights, tpms, battery).
These repairs are easy, and only costed another $1000. Be like Scotty.
When Toyota refreshed the Corolla for the 2017 model year, CVT became the standard transmission. Also, the S became the SE
Does your Corolla have a CVT transmission?
I leased them from 2015-2019
@@Nick41622 yes it's a 2018 Corolla SE
@davinp It will run for many years to come.👍
I leased a 2014 Corolla for 2 years, it had the CVT. Absolute worst driving dynamics of any vehicle I've ever driven in my life (& I've been driving since the mid-80s). I surely hope they've gotten a lot better with their CVT as it was completely atrocious. My mom had a CVT Subaru for a # of years & as non-CVT-liking I am, the Subaru CVT was in another universe (better) than the '14 Toyota Corolla one had in it.
I have a 2008 nissian Sentra. I bought it with 4 miles in n it. As of now I have 116,000 miles. She still runs like a champ. Just doing the basic from time to time
I want one of these, or a Civic or an Accord with a manual transmission. They're simple, changing the fluid is amazingly simple, and they always last forever. There are pretty well _no_ poorly made manual transmissions anymore.
I bought a 2010 rav4 with 210,000 km 3 years ago. It now has over 300,000 on it and I love it. All I had to do recently was 1 rear wheel bearing.
So It shouldn't bother me to buy a Toyota with over 200,000 km on it?
I had a brand new 2012 corolla that is still on the road today 2ith 245,000+KM . I sold it to my nephew and he is still using it 🙃. Toyota is the way to go 😎
I helped a friend sell her well maintained Corolla with 239,000 miles. She was hoping to get $1000. I said no way, I got $2500 and it was a steal. The kicker is a mechanic bought it. Listen to Scotty
Took my 2008 Subaru to a transmission shop for a fluid and filter change back while living in Charleston. The shop owner saw the car and said that I had an older one that still had “the good transmission” and all he usually had to do to those was the necessary changing of the fluid and filter. He also stated that he had a lot of business working on the newer Subarus and their CVT transmissions.
I agree that the older gear transmissions are better.🤙🏻
I bought a Toyota Auris(Corolla), 2018., Black Edition e180, with 1.6 petrol 1zr-fae engine, dual vvti with valvematic, 4 cylinder 16 valve, manual 6 speed. With 50000km(30000 miles) on it. Love the car. And i love your content.
I just broke 300k miles in my 2002 Toyota Avalon and aside from normal maintenance the car runs like a champ. It has the original engine which hasn't been opened and is on its second transmission. As a Lexus technician myself I would definitely recommend getting a Toyota because for the most part they're built to last.
I've got a 2000 Acura TL that's about to turn 260,000 miles. None of the fancy bells and whistles (one of the first navigation systems with a DVD in the trunk...lol), but I love it! Original owner, so I know it's been taken care of over the years. I've been using the Lucas Hi Mileage Fuel Treatment, and that's helped a lot. I think I'll try Scotty's friend's and see how that works!
I bought a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT with 186,000 miles on it, now it has over 200,000 miles and I haven't had a single issue with it.
Had to give my 2005 chevy uplander 200000+ a true long life rough rider very strong.
Gotta 06 GTO love. It bought The thing new spends a lot of time in the garage when the weather is cold and wet.
Keep it nice, it will be a collector car someday.

Most TPMS have lithium batteries and can last 10+ years It is worth replacing the sensors.
And it's not like it's hard to change them. Buy the sensors from the dealer and you will need to take out a loan! You can get oem ones from other sources or use good after market like Autel and save a lot. I like knowing the exact pressure in my tires.
If one has a Mirage buy four Autel sensors and clone the ones in the existing tires. You will thank me if any of the factory ones die. It is a pain to get new ones to pair to the car.
I have owned several Toyota Corollas and they are amazing! I bought a Scion tC in 2006 and It is still an amazing car! I have only had to replace the oil, tires and the battery.
I prefer MMO. Been using it for years. No injector or fuel system problems so far at 219000 miles. Fuel trims stay around +/- 1%
been listening to people for whole my young life toyota is the best. i clicked years ago when you made a video...... i fix cars from monday to friday, if you think im gonna fix my car on weekend... aaaaa. so i bought one. a prius 2nd gen. best car i ever bought. its a modern volkswagen golf 2. it keeps on going and going and going. puts duracell to shame😂
What year Toyota is the best to buy?
Saving up to get a car for my son. Corolla or Camry.
How do you compare them to the older Honda's and Hyundai's ? Which one is better? Sorry for so many questions.
@@freedomfightergrl5615 dont know. depend on what you want for your son.... a beat up car or safe car that doesent brake..... i had a 2006 prius. still going like no tommorow. hyundai is crap so stay away. old hondas and mazdas for that matter were good so i hear up to year 2000 then everything is going downhill. if you want a car that doesent brake buy a gasoline toyota. btw your young son i presume will get bored of his car fast so try buying something you can use after
I got you beat, I owned a 2006 Pontiac G6 V6 with 290+K miles. Sadly it was killed by salt water flooding. Died in 2016. Mechanically fine, only issue was the stupid electric power steering. Everything else worked and was in pretty good cosmetic condition.
I have a 2007 Corolla LE that I bought brand new in 07, it currently has approx 330k miles ( odometer stopped reporting after 299,999 miles ) . I replaced the water pump 3xs ,changed the oil regularly . Gave it to my daughter, the car still runs like a champ . Would trust it to drive to Cali and back !!
I sold a 2013 tacoma pickup with 490K miles for 7k about 5 years ago; used royal purple engine oil and it still ran like new when I sold it.
Scotty... Enjoy your channel... maybe too much. My Matrix got to 299,999 and the odometer stopped but the car is awesome and still goes great. What's up with that?
I have a 2013 corolla, looks just like this, It's the best car ever!!
This is one thing I like, simple cars have less to break.
My car is a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage ES, although it's new, it has the bare minimum. It has a backup camera, and forward collision mitigation. That's about it.
It has power windows, AC, radio, and a basic CVT. Is it bullet proof? No. But it's easier to work on than most new cars, and it's very simple.
Scotty, love your videos but one suggestion. When you are showing a product like this fuel treatment or any other pruduct that you have in your hand , hold it steady in front of the camera for about two seconds so it can be seen easily. Cheers
There is a link to the page that sells that fuel additive under "more" under this video.
@@jeffduyndam1392 , Yes ! I saw that after the fact ! Thanks
@@jeffduyndam1392there is? I'm not seeing it.
Scotty, that Toyota Corolla is definitely going to pass 500k if the driver do the regular maintenance like the first owner did it. I rather to own Toyotas than any other brand in the World cause i know that Toyotas won't fail me.
Honda is good too🎉
True that's why they're at second place.
Scotty love your videos,so informative. God bless you and your family.
Scotty, what diesel fuel additive should I use on used car? Should it be something with PEA? What additive from Liqui Moly can you recommend? Thank you!
One thing I won't put in my car is high mileage oil.I don't need my seals to swell,they're fine -thank you.Because I change my engine oil when I should,all the time.
I wasn't taught to back up using the rear view mirror (Scotty gave bad advice). I was taught to turn around and look. My wife had an accident in a parking lot using the rear view mirror backing out of a parking space. She didn't see the car driving toward her. A rear view mirror does not see left or right.
My '05 Camry has 247,000 miles and the only trouble code is the downstream o2 sensor. It has had the transmission replaced with a used one. And Scotty has already told me how to remedy that.
What was the additive that you put in that Toyota?
Yup got a 2001 Tacoma basic 4 cylinder with over 200k miles runs like a clock
The late 60's chevy strait 6 & powerglide also last forever & the former has no timing chain or belt!
& both are tons less complicated than those in the toyota above. No hesitation with 1 bbl monojet carb - u'd swear it was fuel injected.
I was born in a Corolla and I'm proud😊
May be your parents made you there too!
Cheaper than hospitals.
I was conceived in a pt cruiser
@@IvanDBelmontlol I wouldn't brag about that
You will last 1.000.000 miles
My wife had one of these cars, it was the slowest thing I've ever driven. Specially on the highway.
Would another fuel cleaner like Techron, Redline SI1 or Liqui Moly work just as well?
Yes.
yes, those three are the best, many of the others aren't as good
Thumbs up for the two of you for the answer. I'll use it when my cars feel like it needs fuel cleaners.

Scotty is obviously bias against anything but toyotas.
Needless to say the Koreans make excellent cars too.
How often should you put CRF 505 into gas tank? I used it once and I noticed the difference ASAP.
"Who would buy a used car with 200,000 miles?"
Here, sir! 👋
2003 Toyota Matrix, had 208k miles on the clock when purchased in September of last year. As of last night when I got home from work it has just shy of 220,000 miles. 😉
Taking it in tomorrow morning to have a mechanic give it a once-over plus do some routine maintenance (transmission service & serpentine belt replacement). So far, it's had tires & MAF sensor replaced.
Just bought an 08 Honda Odyssey for $3,900 🤷
Runs like beast!
Scotty is so good at his work that people are remaking his videos in other languages and posting it.

Back in the late 60’s-early 70’s I used to buy novas and falcons for $35.00-$125.00 and run the hell out of them!
Fun times!
wow dude what a classic....wish i never got rid of my 64 impalla s.s....283 with a glorified powerglide
Power steering and a/c were rare options back then especially on an entry level economy car.
I have a 2010 Honda fit with 330k miles. I’ve owned since 120k. Regular oil changes and injector cleaner. Still have original timing chain in it lol.
I got a Buick LeSabre for pocket money. 185k. Had it checked out. Passed all checks. Gets decent gas mileage and every single option works. It’s an interim car until I can get my next nice car.
I always wanted Scotty to do a review on my car, and now he did. I have a 13 with 83k on the clock, and it’s been great. He is right, though. It’s simple, easy, and *slow*. 😂 But it always does the job.
I've had excellent results with Yamalube Ring-Free Fuel Additive. Added it to the oil & fuel. It's half the price
I have that same car ( in my coubtry we get the 1.6L version) with 211,500 km (131,000 miles) amd ita great! 80% to 90% being City driving

Hey scotty is mystery oil fuel and oil cleaner any good ?
will this fuel treatment works in my 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA FIELDER....(CVT)
I would change all the fluids and filters and I would look into any codes that might involve safety issues or bad fuel economy and yes, it’s a very simple Toyota Corolla when you compare it to the 24 model and five W-2 motor oil for high mileage engines probably wouldn’t hurt
"They don't make 'em like they used to".. That is a fact!
I bought a 96 Honda Accord with 220,000 miles...drove it mostly City for the next 7 years....had 330,000 miles before I had to junk it...paid $1,600...
I had an 09 Corolla in 2015 for my first car drove it 5 years and put 90k on it with only a water pump and got 3500 for it with 165k in late 2020 when I got my CX-5 :) Loved that car
01:54 Scotty, the 2024 Corolla GR comes with a manual 6-speed transmission. 🙂
That must be the performance model.
Two years ago, i watched a Scotty you tube, and he said if you come accross an older Lexus, in good shape with low miles on it, "buy it!". so i did. A 2000 Lexus RX300 with only 114k on it.. after two years use, only minor repairs, but he forgot to say it drinks gas like a Cadillac Escalade! 15 to 16 mpg city, 17 or so country. No wonder in had low milage on it. If something major goes kaput, so might my life savings! "lesson learned."
so what are the best years of the Corolla to buy according to Scotty's likes? the same transmission and engine as this 2012?? what are the other years with comparable technology?
bad caps of the 1990's played havoc with car ECU's
02-11-2013, 01:43 AM
the Nichicon PF (M) series from the late 1980's through most of the 1990's had leakage issues, these caps played havoc with many automotive ECU's, especially high end Japanese cars. (i.e. Lexus LS400, Toyota Supra, etc.)
The problem was the use of quaternary ammonium salts.
the following capacitors from this time period had issues:
Nichicon: RZ, RT, VZ, ET, PR, PY, PF, PL, PQ, PG, MX, WX, WP, MP
Nippon Chemicon: LXF, TXF, SXE, SXG, MVK, MFK, MVF, MFF
Elna: RSH, RSG, RSE, RC2S, RC3S
The production of capacitors that contain quaternary ammonium salt compounds was ended in September 1998. The final one was Nichicon PF series. The PF series was kind of special version with expensive materials both rubbers and lead wires used. These had extended lifespan over the other caps above, but still it was shorter than conventional ones.
Did you really expect anyone to read thru that drivel? Really?
Quick question Scotty; I have tried your lacquer thinner idea on my 4.7l Tundra. I didn’t have a cel on the dash and the engine seemed to like it. How often should a person put a gallon into half a tank of fuel for preventative maintenance?
I own a toyota corolla nze 2005 . The mileage is 275 000 km still good
I bought a 2012 rav 4 and now it has alot of thumping and banging in the rear suspension. A check buy Mr mechanic on the lift found 0 issues with any suspension parts. The car has new front struts and bran new rear GAS shocks. Brake ar all new and tight. What's all the banging about?
Curious as to when costs for a high mileage car become exorbitant? I have a 2010 Honda Accord coupe, 185k miles on a vtech 6 cylinder engine. Seems to run fine although a little rough on start up, and my basic code reader shows catalytic converter (but there are 3 on my car), and the more pressing issue is the power steering line and RACK is leaking? I'm currently carrying extra power steering fluid and monitoring how quickly it runs low. But to replace that I'm being quoted over 2k due to 9 hours of labor to replace the rack. Just not sure if you have any recommendations on what price point to replace a vehicle
Parking brake in the center. YES. THERE IS A GOD. Back to drifting again. Woo hoo
Not to brag. I have a 95 tercel 1.5 l. Gets 41 mpg. Pushing 200k +. Runs great. Only one head job. Maintenance and high quality fluids.
My 2001 Toyota Tacoma 4 cylinder get 12-14 mpg. I’ll try this maybe.
I have acura mdx 2008 with 175K Mileage. Should I put 505CRF on it with full tank or close to empty?
I have a 99 Corolla with 187k miles on it. Still runs good and drives good. I will keep it until it dies.
I have a 2009 Corolla now with 322,000 miles and the original transmission. I’ve had it since 100,000 miles. Somehow, I’ve never had to replace the belt. I’ve gone through two alternators, two axels, two batteries and starting last year, all the coils. I didn’t even know what a coil was. No plug wires? Bloody cover on top I never noticed.
