Scotty, I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla CE 4 speed automatic too since new, now with 210,300 miles and my Family and I paid $7,736.24 in additional non regular repairs after 133,964 miles, during the last 53 months , 4 years 6 months, the equivalent to $145.97 a month during 76,349 miles, none of those repairs are major repairs like engine transmission or a/c, or rack and pinion or cooling system, but living in from of the beach, close to 16 years, 4 pro body shops estimated the repairs can be made 2 offered written warranty, using original Toyota parts , is around $9,500 including replacing the Toyota carpet and roof liner as well as part in the trunk with rust, the Toyota front windshield the power mirrors the front headlights even the hard cover of the instrument panel and the steering wheel, including the front grill, I will ask for the polished XRS version, basically, this Corolla could be restored. The trusted mechanics want to buy it because of what you show in this video, I have it since new and do the simple maintenance you mentioned by myself, is super reliable, days ago I filled the tank and measured 33.17 miles per gallon, the left axle was replaced for the 1st time 2 days ago, with the original Toyota left axle. ... but I could still hear my Father Rest in Peace Opinion, saying is not worth to pay $9,500 for a pro repair to a 16 years old car....But this is a Corolla that can run forever, and I will miss the simplicity of this trouble free 4 speed auto, no CVT, tha5 just required a part of a few dollars for its shift lever at 198,000 miles, I want to repair it, always uses synthetic oil, always original ATF T IV Toyota fluid, replaced by myself every 15,000 to 26,000 miles , Blackstone Labs has tested oil samples many times last time at 203,000 miles and found it excellent and I am following your advice of changing the oil every 3,000 to 3,400 miles with synthetic because is cheaper than repairs to a head gasket or a rebuild, but my Father will say, is still and old car, that everybody wants to buy it..... your video suggests your response, to keep it, I understand paying less for body repairs is a mistake, body shop work is more expensive thanks Scotty
@@6lemans10 ok how bout that black Scion it’s been there since he moved in? And how bout that 1999ish 4Runner? That thing has been at his house for like 10 days, how can it take 10 days for an oil change/other maintenance??
My dad used to have the 2004 Corolla I when I was very young. One thing I remember was that shifting gears was butter smooth, almost effortless, or at least that's what my dad made it look like. No issues, ran like clockwork for the entire time my dad owned it. It's a shame he didn't keep it, but he bought another Toyota.
Yeah this car is obviously lightly driven and pampered. The Chevy Colorado he slammed the other day with nearly 200k miles looked just as pampered as this. I like when people take care of their vehicles.
These Japanese cars are amazing. My dad has a 96 Civic and maybe has close to 300k miles and he barely takes care of the car. Still to this day runs great.
I got my 20 year old Camry for 1500 bucks a year and a half ago after watching your videos praising Toyota, and other than replacing the door handles and a hood that doesn't latch after the previous owner had a fender bender, it works wonderfully. It's got over 250,000 miles and they just keep trucking.
My daughter bought a 2014 Matrix, (Canadian), and LOVES it. She drives over some mountain passes and wishes she had a bit more power, but over all, just loves that thing. She named if Furio after a Sopranos character.
My 2007 Corolla CE's odometer stopped at 299999 miles. Now it has about 327729 miles. It's very easy to work on and still runs great. I love my Corolla. Thanks for sharing, Scotty! Love your videos.
@@janreldelacruz1674 The recomended coolant for toyota is the red or pink that says for toyota/lexus/scion vehicles. You can use Peak, Prestone or Beck and Arnley. Great quality antifreeze.
Most BMW, Audi, and Benz guys wouldn't caught dead driving a Corolla. They rather wear extra dark sunglasses and a stylish hat standing at the BUS stop.
I've been a mechanic for 30 years and I've seen many American cars go and go and go. Having said that the people that owned them changed fluids and filters religiously. They kept them clean and fixed things when they broke.
Hey my 1997 Toyota Corolla has 230,000 miles on it and it still runs like a charm! All original OEM parts on it. Did normal maintenance on it. Starter is finally going out on it and had to replace the original alternator.
I repaired a two inch crack in the plastic top tank of my 1997 Tacoma radiator, with JB Weld plastic bonder, part number 50139. It's still holding up after two years. Plastic radiators are made from nylon (thermoplastic) because nylon can handle the range of hot and cold temperatures. This product is the right stuff to use.
Love your work scotty i have a 98 corolla for the daily work commute. simple reliable transport ,never stops. Done 220000 kms gets 35mpg. best car made i think. Tony from Australia.
Toyotas are great cars. I just don't enjoy driving them like I do the European cars. Of course Toyotas win in the reliability category hands down. I hate the compromises in the automotive world.
i feel the same way. I love the way FIATs look, love Toyota reliability, love Lexus interiors, love Honda performance. Sometimes I find myself wishing on a star for either FIAT to make relaible vehicles or for Toyota to make more variety in body styling... You can never truly win :(
I just found you when I bought my 370z and I've been hoping I don't run into a video where you rip my baby apart or me for buying one 😂. I love your videos you're hilarious!
Awesome video Scotty, I just purchased a 2011 Toyota Corolla LE, it has the 1.8 engine and only 72K miles. The Corolla only had one owner and was in excellent condition inside and out.
2007 Corolla LE with 190K miles and we just love ours. We bought our car from 2nd owner and it had 89K when we bought it. I got a Pontiac Vibe with the same powertrain years ago, because I could not find a Toyota Matrix, but since the Vibe is made with Matrix parts, I found my 2005 model with 142k and knowing how well the 1.8L engines were, I was very lucky to find it for the price years ago. It now has 175K on it and gets 36mpg. Our 2007 Corolla gets up to 41mpg when I drive it. Welcome to Tenn. we live in Lewisburg Tn. and have been subscribers for many years. Thanks for all your years of helping others and GOD bless you and your family.
I have a 2006 Corolla LE, exact same color and interior as this one. Bought it used for 4000 only has 85,000 miles on her. Runs like a top and the car looks brand new in and out.
You can replace your halogen bulbs and tail lights with LED light bulbs. Just go to the auto part store. Even on newer cars today, they still come from the factory with old fashion dim bulbs in the interior, but you can replace them with brighter LED lights
Led lights are great, running at lower temperature they don't collect snow due to being colder running. So no stopping to clear lights off especially the taillights. My old 1984 Chevy Silverado doesn't have them but plan on installing them some day
I just bought a 2003 Toyota Corolla le with only 78k miles on it that's in excellent condition , interior is mint looks brand new , exterior paint is still mint besides some very minor scratches that were due to the previous owner, car still looks brand new , paid 5 grand for it
I bought a 2003 Corolla a couple years here in Ireland, had 86k miles on the clock, still have it three years later and hasn't caused me any issues aside from brakes and back box exhaust. Only cost me €500, and they've actually gone up in value here to around €1,500.
R.I.P. my 2006 Matrix with the 1zz engine. Working perfectly until a hit-and-run driver in a VW station wagon with stolen tags totaled it in 2017 with 68K miles on the clock. I would still be driving it today.
Fun fact: in the movie To Wong Foo that features Patrick Swayze John Leguizamo and Wesley Snipes as drag queens. In the deal ship scene they were present a Toyota Corolla for their cross country drive from NYC to LA for the reliability but they chose Cadillac for style.... lol
It's reaonably reliable it's the AWD Touring edition with all leather seats front and back heated seats pretty well taken care of with almost 160,000 miles on the odometer
Switched to LED headlights, only drawback is they don't melt ice/snow but use less wattage. My one owner 2005 Corolla S @145k is just as clean and loaded with factory heated leather seats for the winter. Installed a Toyota of Canada engine heater and battery warmer. Canadian made. Rear engine mount to possibly fix vibration at idle. Hopefully.
I got my grandmas 07 Corolla when she passed in 2017. It had 20,000 miles on it now I’m at 148,000. Runs like a charm as long as you do the simple maintenance to it!
I got a new Freightliner truck at the last company I worked for with LED headlights. The only problem is when driving in the snow in the dark they don't produce enough heat to keep the lenses melted off and you can't see unless you stop every 20 minutes and clean them off.
I bought a 2007 Corolla last month with 52,000 miles on it. Manual windows/door locks but it runs and looks like a new car. I got 32mpg on the last tank of gas (mixed hwy/city). Happy as a clam.
Just bought almost the exact same car a couple months. 2006 Corolla CE with 200,000 mostly highway miles. Best $2500 I ever spent. Expecting to get an easy 400,000+ from this car.
Scotty, you are 100% right, in my country where I come from, the taxi drivers prefer the Toyota Corolla, those taxis take a beating every day, no to mention are misers with fuel.
I have a 2007 and my uncle bought it at 9,000 miles, my mom bought it from him at 215,000 miles, I have it now at 307,000 miles. Never changed any of the drive train. Just do the maintenance the book tells you.
My buddy got the exact same car, from a little old lady, with 110k for only $5000 last year and loves it! Corolla is the modern version of the old Volkswagen Beetle... "The people's car". Good video Scotty!
I absolutely love my 07 Corolla it has 191000 paid 1300. It was owned by a local mechanic so everything was taken care of. The only thing wrong with it is it needs a hood because someone sat on it and dented it and now the paint is chipping. Love love love Corollas
Scotty i bought a low low mileage mk 2 vw golf from an old lady ,it was mint so i didnt chexk it over the engine and gearbox ended up on the street BECAUSE ONE BOLT MISSING FROM BELLHOUSING SUPPORT AND THE BELLHOUSING SHATTERED LEAVING NO SUPPORT FOR ENGINE ...Always never trust old people ...
I bought a tornado fuel saver when I bought my 2003 Corolla new...never took it out and I have no idea if it worked...but I did get 850km on a tank once and 700km regularly. i sold it at 260,000 kms and saw it go to 501,000 km when I sold it to family.
Most Reliable Car because this Corolla has : Naturally Aspirated (No Direct Injection, no Turbo to wear out the seals over time), Timing *Chained* Engine, that's easy to maintain by observing the available Oil and Transmission Dipsticks , Easily access to switch the Head and Tail Light bulbs (unlike certain Nissan Altimas that forces you to take the fender off!!), An ol' skool more Durable regular Automatic Transmission made by Toyota( vs less durable CVTs), Easy access to the air filter, and mostly , if not all, quality and reliable parts (minus the air bag recall on these models) with a great small engine that is more fuel efficient and insurance $$$ too.
Sorry Scotty, I accused you of stealing my custom shades. My masseuse just messaged me that I left them in the spa. Sorry. Ah, Scotty, only a week or so and I am completely ADDICTED TO YOUR VIDEOS! Good work! (ps i was set up as I am an addictive type and as I had a Jeep GC money pit for eight years before it got -- mercifully -- totaled.)
Bought an old ford ranger 300 thousand miles. 300 dollars. Rebuilt suspension and clutch breaks rotors alternator timing belt plugs wires. Driving 2 years later. Tires
I got the same one but in the S model in gray with 142,000 miles for $3300 her name is Sasha best car I’ve ever owned I can’t wait to travel in her when this pandemic is over
Picked up a 2002. Owned by an elderly lady. 132km. Bought, serviced and even safetied at a local Toyota dealer. A novel of service records. Literally. It’s crazy. Nothing was ever left undone. $2200 bucks. Drives perfect and I couldn’t be happier.
I recently picked up a 2005 corolla with just under 140k miles for $3600. The only thing it needed was new brake pads. I plan to keep this car for at least 10 years
Long time ago I had 1993 corolla bought it new (1.6 engine with manual transmission) and run it for 12 years and 870000 kms and the only things I did was normal maintenance and fuel pump changed one time .. Toyota is no 1 in reliability and resale value in dubai and can handle the exterme heat in dubai weather

I just bought a 2003 Toyota Corolla le with only 78k miles on it that's in excellent condition , interior is mint looks brand new , exterior paint is still mint besides some very minor scratches that were due to the previous owner, car still looks brand new , paid 5 grand for it
I bought a 2003 Corolla a couple years here in Ireland, had 86k miles on the clock, still have it three years later and hasn't caused me any issues aside from brakes and back box exhaust. Only cost me €500, and they've actually gone up in value here to around €1,500.
You keep using that phrase, " you can drive it from here to California," " I do not think it means what you think it means." Inigo Montoya. Haa
The Princess Bride!! My favorite movie...yeah im female...
Loved my 2003 corolla, finally switched it out for a 15 lexus which I also plan on keeping for 10+ years
Got one of these currently undergoing inspection at the shop. If its good ima get it! Cant wait!
R.I.P. my 2006 Matrix with the 1zz engine. Working perfectly until a hit-and-run driver in a VW station wagon with stolen tags totaled it in 2017 with 68K miles on the clock. I would still be driving it today.
hey Cletus, the new neighbor is talking to himself again.
Fun fact: in the movie To Wong Foo that features Patrick Swayze John Leguizamo and Wesley Snipes as drag queens. In the deal ship scene they were present a Toyota Corolla for their cross country drive from NYC to LA for the reliability but they chose Cadillac for style.... lol
I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica 3.6 I'm trading it in and getting me a Toyota of some sort
If yours is reliable, you should consider keeping it, because you're not likely to get much on the trade-in.
Try a yaris, they are fun
It's reaonably reliable it's the AWD Touring edition with all leather seats front and back heated seats pretty well taken care of with almost 160,000 miles on the odometer
Only paid 2,800 bucks for it and have had it for years only replacing an alternator and a few turn signal bulbs
No check engine lights and really smooth ride going down the road
I have a 2007 corolla LE with the 5 speed. Really enjoy it only 88k miles. Got 41 mpg driving home on freeway at 70mph
Switched to LED headlights, only drawback is they don't melt ice/snow but use less wattage. My one owner 2005 Corolla S @145k is just as clean and loaded with factory heated leather seats for the winter. Installed a Toyota of Canada engine heater and battery warmer. Canadian made. Rear engine mount to possibly fix vibration at idle. Hopefully.
I got my grandmas 07 Corolla when she passed in 2017. It had 20,000 miles on it now I’m at 148,000. Runs like a charm as long as you do the simple maintenance to it!
Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I roll up the Wool-o and get all schmoked up.
I got a new Freightliner truck at the last company I worked for with LED headlights. The only problem is when driving in the snow in the dark they don't produce enough heat to keep the lenses melted off and you can't see unless you stop every 20 minutes and clean them off.
I'm starting to think Scotty is part native American with all those jean jackets😂
😂😂😂
wrenchalot kilmer
Canadian Tuxedo
4 years with mine and no issues AT ALL. Just replaced the clutch kit after 3rd year
I put LED bulbs into the stock headlight housings on my 06 corolla w/ 105K miles. Best car I ever owned. Will keep it forever.
I think Corollas are the best cars on the road. I also hate them.
I won't buy one either. Camry tho, ya I bought a new one recently.
You are the best Scotty, took your advice and got a corolla 2015 with 4 speed automatic (my region was the latest model with 4 speed not the cvt)
When you moved to Tennesee,how did you get your first customers?
youtube, email
ever hear of the internet?...
Honestly i would like to see that Toyota in Nj winter
LEDs won’t melt ice either... I’m glad mine still has a bulb for winter
Exactly
I bought a 2007 Corolla last month with 52,000 miles on it. Manual windows/door locks but it runs and looks like a new car. I got 32mpg on the last tank of gas (mixed hwy/city). Happy as a clam.
I drive an 09 Corolla that has 180000 miles in it and it run fine, is in good shape and never has any issues
Just bought almost the exact same car a couple months. 2006 Corolla CE with 200,000 mostly highway miles. Best $2500 I ever spent. Expecting to get an easy 400,000+ from this car.
Thought scotty was going to burst into tears 😭😳
My friend’s girlfriend has a 2007 Corolla with 200,000 miles and it runs perfectly
Scotty, you are 100% right, in my country where I come from, the taxi drivers prefer the
Toyota Corolla, those taxis take a beating every day, no to mention are misers with fuel.
I have a 2007 and my uncle bought it at 9,000 miles, my mom bought it from him at 215,000 miles, I have it now at 307,000 miles. Never changed any of the drive train. Just do the maintenance the book tells you.
My grandpa had an 07 just like that! Great car!
My buddy got the exact same car, from a little old lady, with 110k for only $5000 last year and loves it!
Corolla is the modern version of the old Volkswagen Beetle... "The people's car".
Good video Scotty!
"Kentucky" - that's a funny way to pronounce "Canada."
Just bought a 2004 Corolla with 150k for 2grand. Needed new valve cover gasket, wheel bearing, brakes and now its solid as can be
My dad has an 05 Corolla LE. Basic maintenance and running like a charm with 370k on the damn thing
Scotty's wife is called Corolla.
My mom owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla CE. It has 106,000 miles on it. Good car.
I absolutely love my 07 Corolla it has 191000 paid 1300. It was owned by a local mechanic so everything was taken care of. The only thing wrong with it is it needs a hood because someone sat on it and dented it and now the paint is chipping. Love love love Corollas
Scotty i bought a low low mileage mk 2 vw golf from an old lady ,it was mint so i didnt chexk it over the engine and gearbox ended up on the street BECAUSE ONE BOLT MISSING FROM BELLHOUSING SUPPORT AND THE BELLHOUSING SHATTERED LEAVING NO SUPPORT FOR ENGINE ...Always never trust old people ...
I bought a tornado fuel saver when I bought my 2003 Corolla new...never took it out and I have no idea if it worked...but I did get 850km on a tank once and 700km regularly. i sold it at 260,000 kms and saw it go to 501,000 km when I sold it to family.
Most Reliable Car because this Corolla has :
Naturally Aspirated (No Direct Injection, no Turbo to wear out the seals over time), Timing *Chained* Engine,
that's easy to maintain by observing the available Oil and Transmission Dipsticks ,
Easily access to switch the Head and Tail Light bulbs (unlike certain Nissan Altimas that forces you to take the fender off!!),
An ol' skool more Durable regular Automatic Transmission made by Toyota( vs less durable CVTs),
Easy access to the air filter, and mostly , if not all, quality and reliable parts (minus the air bag recall on these models) with a great small engine that is more fuel efficient and insurance $$$ too.
Sorry Scotty, I accused you of stealing my custom shades. My masseuse just messaged me that I left them in the spa. Sorry. Ah, Scotty, only a week or so and I am completely ADDICTED TO YOUR VIDEOS! Good work! (ps i was set up as I am an addictive type and as I had a Jeep GC money pit for eight years before it got -- mercifully -- totaled.)
The comment section is hilarious . 😂 . You guys relieved my pandemic blues .
I have a 2001, Toyota Corolla it has 169,000 miles, runs great.
Can i get a heart from you?
hello and no, say something funny for a heart
@@scottykilmer I'm complete that you just even replied. Thanks! (I'll make sure next time to write something funny)
Bought an old ford ranger 300 thousand miles. 300 dollars. Rebuilt suspension and clutch breaks rotors alternator timing belt plugs wires. Driving 2 years later. Tires
I got the same one but in the S model in gray with 142,000 miles for $3300 her name is Sasha best car I’ve ever owned I can’t wait to travel in her when this pandemic is over
Picked up a 2002. Owned by an elderly lady. 132km. Bought, serviced and even safetied at a local Toyota dealer. A novel of service records. Literally. It’s crazy. Nothing was ever left undone. $2200 bucks. Drives perfect and I couldn’t be happier.
That Corolla is immaculate. Good buy.
I recently picked up a 2005 corolla with just under 140k miles for $3600. The only thing it needed was new brake pads. I plan to keep this car for at least 10 years
Long time ago I had 1993 corolla bought it new (1.6 engine with manual transmission) and run it for 12 years and 870000 kms and the only things I did was normal maintenance and fuel pump changed one time .. Toyota is no 1 in reliability and resale value in dubai and can handle the exterme heat in dubai weather
