    • My FIL did that to the Corolla I gave him. He drove it like that for a month and then when the engine (inevitably) blew, he blamed Toyota for making a piece of shit vehicle.

    • Honestly, I wish I never gave it away.
      Second best (and THE most reliable) car I ever had and the only one with functional A/C.
      Only $495 too....

    • I had a friend who had a Toyota Corolla and she was p*ssed when her husband surpised her with a Chrysler Sebring.(convertible) It was a beautiful car but she said I like my Toy. She said they same thing about how reliable it was. $495..!?! sounds like you got lucky finding it, my dad is always getting great deals.

    • Of the last eight cars I had, only two cost over $500
      One was a Chevy for $1000, and the other is (not the verb tense) a $1395 Subaru.
      That Chevy lasted only about five months.... or about $200/month. Compare that with a car loan and remember that I held the title outright and could do with it as I damned well pleased.

    • I am sure you are capable of working on them? Makes a difference when buying them. I hate car payments.

    • I replaced the head gasket in that car ~8 months previous.
      I also replaced the rear shocks in the car that replaced 'Harold'.
      I prefer to do my own work when I can, but I lack a lift so certain jobs really are impossible.

    • Have you ever tried putting transmission fluid.... or lube grease in a 95 GMC Sonoma pick-up? It is underneath the truck and have to squirt it in with a bottle. I can't believe they made them like that. We went to a couple of places, one said it doesn't need any but everytime the clutch got hard the grease helped.

    • I have owned mostly imports, but it doesn't sound any worse than checking/filling the tranny in my '89 Golf.
      Try replacing rear shocks in a '89 Golf when it is -3F outside. You can't wear gloves 'cuz you need touch but w/o gloves you can't put the wrench down; it sticks to your bare flesh. Only took three hours despite that setback.
