My parents have decided that my s/o and I need a second car and have bought me (us) a 1996 Corolla DX. 68K miles on odometer.
My questions are these.
Is this a good buy for US$5600 ? Is this a reliable car? Any issues I need to be aware of?
Vehicle has NO rust. Looks to be in VERY good shape.
TIA
I need to correct the year. It's a 1993 NOT a 1996.
All other information is the same.
dude, $5600 is waaaaaaay too much for a 13 year old car even for a Corolla...but that's my opinion of course...however, it is a good car and good for at least 200K miles more if taken care of properly.
Heck. I gave away an old '96 Saturn SL2 for $500 (no dents and good paint) except it was high mileage, used oil (typical Saturn) and had some problems growing in tranny land. Also, gave away "free" to Goodwill a old Chevy Lumina owned by some little old lady (me '92 year old mom) that was covered in assorted dents and colors. Low mileage (35,000 miles). They had a "For Sale" sign on it for $4500 (Good luck!) last I looked. Too bad the oil was original too. Little old ladies have their vehicles under the lowest of priorities. ;o)
