I literally bought a 14 year old Corolla yesterday. This article helps counteract the "why didn't my car get written off 4 years ago when they were cheap?" voice that's been running through my head the last week or so.
- boopboopbadoop 4y agoWelcome to the Corolla club! I’ve had a 2009 Corolla since 2014. Aside from the expected stuff (brakes/lights/filters/oil changes/wipers/tires/battery), the only maintenance it has needed is a new exhaust connector. A couple things I love about it: - I like to maintain my own things, and the car and parts are cheap enough that I don’t worry about screwing something up. - Having owned it for a while, I know it’s quirks. E.g. I know if the radio starts going in and out, the battery is not charging and needs immediate attention. - I don’t have to worry about it being stolen or getting dinged. I planned on driving it to the ground, but I’m starting to believe that it will out live me.
