- An email led me to this decrepit 88 corolla (that's carbureted no less) but the price was right so lets sort some issues! Does it have a bad motor like the seller claims or was he scammed just the same?
PART 2: • The $200 1988 Toyota C...
Aw yes, the Toyota that converted my family to be a TEQ family. Mom had a 92 Corolla after having GM after GM. That Corolla was so great and trouble free, she got a 98 Corolla and gave the 92 Rola to my older sis. I got that 92 from her in 2007. Sold it to a friends mom in need of a car bad in 2010 and she had it til 2019 when I surprisingly found it at a junkyard looking for parts on my Solara. So sad. In 2016 I got moms 98 Corolla. Well since then my fam has only bought Toyota minus-Dad still got a 97 Chevy truck, learned his lesson, and I got a Mitsubishi Mirage as a 1st car, good car actually but bad exhaust. Now I got a Corolla, Avalon, Tundra, & Solara. Mom/Dad have a Tacoma & Rav4. That 92 Corolla changed it all.
I've had many Corollas over the years, my first was a 91 Geo Prizm and then I had a 93 Corolla DX and then a 95 and then a 97 VE and finally a 2000 Prizm, absolutely fantastic cars. This 88 is a handful due to the carburetor but it's getting a manual choke conversion soon, I appreciate all my viewers!
This is my absolute favorite car I have ever owned, cant find any for sale here though
This scarily looks like my old Corolla! It was a great car. I never had any mechanical issues, and the AC ran cold in our Florida Sun! I upgraded to a Camry after 10 years.
This is such an underrated video🤣 so funny and awesome. Gotta love someone who can appreciate a classic 90s sedan
'80s sedan. '80s sedan!
Carolls royce my friend had one of these but in Australia half were branded as a Holden Apollo such well built solid cars. He had it for five years and he did 80000 kms and had five small accidents in it before it was yellow stickered he only paid 1200 for it.
$200!? Greatest deal ever
Great video man very educational can’t wait to learn how to do the carborator
$200 and drove an hour?....She's a keeper for sure. Also, I don't even want to know how that particular pattern of wear occurred in the drivers seat.
Its ToYOta
Thankfully you made it!!! Those shit or get off the pot drives are super stressful 😫yet so inexpensive!!! 200 bucks for a whole Toyota!!?! Only in 🇺🇸
Holy crap that looks good on the outside! Growing up in the 90s i have so many memories of that interior. Friends of my parents had a loaded up corolla with all power options and the brick red interior .. i thought it was so much nicer than my parents *newer Grand-Am. Such quality!
My first car God I miss it!
Rally Car material 😃 It is not that bad, aftermarket JVC! I love that retractable antenna. I miss my 1986 Corolla. The cheapest I've seen is $5k in my area. Lucky Great JDM BUY!!! A Scotty Kilmer classic!!!
Just bought one myself for 700 CAD, the biggest issue is the body rust
For an 88, that body style looks good.
Im also 'stupid'.I just bought one from 90' but in good condition and i love it.
That corolla is pure gold❤
That’s a beautiful car! I love it!
Owned an 86 dx just like this. Put 180000 miles ran like a beast took tome to warm up just need tlc
I wouldn’t mind a 35 min vid tbh
I us to drive one of those in the late 80s. Until a carjacking occurred and never find. Good memories.
We have so many of these here in the philippines its everywhere we call it the ae92 small body its dirt cheap asf even the ae101 is cheap here as well
Might get one from out there and delivered to California off they’re dirt cheap. In America these cars 5k due to a lot of ppl wanting to fix and drive them, because of nostalgia.
Carburetor shop said it had a bad carburetor huh? Maybe not. There's an AAP (auxiliary acceleration pump) diaphragm on the back of the carburetor on the passenger side. As they age, they dry up, leak fuel and need replacing. Otherwise the vacuum source sucks fuel into the #1 cylinder and floods it out, causing a well-timed put-put sound and no fire condition. The AAP's vacuum source shuts off once it warms up, which stops the fuel leak and let's that cylinder fire again. Unfortunately, running it with a bad AAP diaphragm will also ruin the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor over time.
It ended up being the Aisin electric choke, it would just stick open no matter what which would cause that awful misfire until it warmed up, I replaced the carb (not knowing it was only the choke plate) with one off an 87 Corolla with a working choke and it went right back to idling smoothly, those people at the shop were 100% unhelpful surprise surprise
@@jimmyjimjims7483 It's hard to find a good carburetor shop anymore. It's a dying art. I have an '88 Corolla with the 4AF engine too and 194K miles. Luckily I know a good carburetor guy here in LA.
Corolla is amazing
congrats. I'm surprised you didn't perish in the desert and then eaten by vultures.
I have an 84
"Another acquisition of filth" LOL!!!
$200us, he GAVE the car to you, battery and alternator are worth that much you got the rest FREE!! 👍👍🙂🙂👍👍
Id say for $200 you did mighty fine.
Great video
Really nice car
Thats less than what they could've got for scrap, or having picknpull come and pick it up for 280$. You scored. I got mine for 500$ lol I justify the purchase due to the several hundred watt Amp and 12" sub in the back, it hits hard. The interior is actually mint in my corolla
he probably didn't want to scrap it unless he had to, better to get less money for it and see it running again than get a little more to send it to die.
I got mine for 100 but its the wagon way clean
i have the wagon,, too much funn
Are your. Car. For. Sale
What Junkyard is this? Pick nand pull im assuming? Thanks
Very good deal
12:49 Crown Victoria Right There
Our 92 has 365k. Runs good
Is that a pre-XD gen Elantra in the back?
Yes it is! I bought it in Colorado last year with 80k original miles and gave it to my father, gets outrageous mpgs
@@jimmyjimjims7483 my dad had a 2005 brand new until about 5 months ago, 120k miles. Besides a thermostat going out twice and a defective radiator, that thing beat on. Never had a problem in the winter, amazing first car for me learning to drive in!
Just got one for $300
