    I am going to be sad when I have to get rid of my Corolla. Last car that I bought with my dad. 😢

      I just bought one two days ago in Afghanistan for 2550 US dollars. Very nice car. And it is my first ever car that I bought :)

    Broken Corolla owner (though it's been effectively replaced with an Accord). I didn't expect to feel anything with this, but then you had to show the old photos through the years, including a picture of your grandparents house 😭
    You can take for granted how these transportation appliances play a part in the memories we hold dear.
    To the '99 Corolla. 🍺🍷🍻🥂

    My best friend bought a 1998CE brand new and drove it for 10 years she put 52,000 miles on it and then wanted to buy a new one because it was her rule to buy one every 10 years she sold it to me for $2500. It has only had the starter replaced one tuneup and a new set of brakes including the rotors. It now has 139,000 miles on it. One of the best cars I’ve ever owned. I’m 83 years old. I won’t sell it I’ll just fix it. I love this car. Mines is blue just like in this video. Cheers

    My 02 Corolla Ce has been in my my family since new. It was first my Great Grandmother’s car, then my Grandmother’s, then my parents bought it from her for a little fuel saver in September 2011, then my older brother got it in late 2012 for his first car, and now it’s mine since August 2022 shortly after I got my license. I am sadly thinking about getting rid of it due to the rust as well. I live in Montréal, Canada and it has not been rust proofed since 2010 or 2011. The car still runs great though. I have a lot of sentimental value with the car because I have memories of it as early as 4 years old. It currently has 248,000km on it.

    Neat car Zach, my father owns a 2002 Toyota sequoia and it is still running strong to this day. It has never gotten a check engine light and it is just such an awesome little beast. Sad to see this corolla go, peace out.

    I had a 1999 Corolla that I sold back in 2010 when I bought a new used 2006 Corolla. The old 1999 car started to have things break and stop working. Rust started to appear at the top of the windshield surround, and at the bottom of the rear wheel arches. The struts were leaking and needed replacing. I was planning on investing a lot to repair it, then I test drove the other used car and realized it was a better use of my money to buy something newer than to invest into the old car, so that's what I did.

    I had a 2000 CE that I bought from a family friend. I loved that car!!
    It didn't look the best but the engine ran amazing! Never left me stranded or had any problems with it. Always started up even in the coldest winters. I restored the bumper. got some factory hubcaps to replace the walmart ones on it haha
    One time it went flying off after a turn so I decided to use clear zipties to hold them on

    Giving my mother's 1994 Honda Civic away this month to a friend. Only 130k miles. NO RUST. (Arizona only). Looking to replace it with a Corolla or Camry.

    Instead of opting for the easy way out on several occasions take some responsibility and repair the car correctly, now its too late but the car wasn’t destroyed by time it was killed by its lazy and destructive owners.

    Starting with the next generation Corolla for the 2003 model year, Toyota rust-proof them by putting coating on it and so many of that generation are still on the road today. Unfortunately, yours is older and doesn't have the rust proofing. It is falling apart and time to say goodbye to it

    I purchased a 2002 Corolla back in 2018 as a 2nd commuter car. I sold it to my brother 2 years ago at 230k; today it has 265k. My brother is rough on cars.

    The suspension is so cheap to fix on this. Creaks are more than likely sway bars which are 20-30$, strut assembly set front and back 250-330$ depending on which brand you choose doesnt need additional 100$ for alignment to replace those same with ball joint. This is DIY price which is extremely affordable and doable even if you have to buy the tools for the specific maintenance. Sway bar links tools needed a 8-15mm ratchet set from walmart hyper tough for 10$ that will pay itself off easy. just having ratchet set in first place is incredibly convenient.
