I have a 2010 automatic, 1.8L corolla with 237,000 miles made in canada, i have had zero trouble despite it was a bad year for the corolla by what people say. I have had zero repairs! other than the normal, oil changes etc all done by myself.
I'm looking to buy another low mileage one but i think years below 2013, 2014 before it switched to the CVT and that stupid screen that sticks out of the dash and the Sealed Transmission. I say carvana because you can find them on there with low miles, i have seen them with only 7,000 miles.
I'm not a fan of carvana or other places like them but you can find older cars with low miles.
I drive 25,000 miles a year to work alone so it does not take me long to rack up the miles. I do the oil changes etc my self.
My current car is still going but i need to start looking as it can take months to find one. I have never seen anything local with low miles in the 2014 years or less.
Looking for suggestions.
I would keep driving with what you have right now.
If you purchase a car from Carvana, it has a warranty whereas if a part broke on your car and you sent it to a local mechanic or dealer, they would pay for it. There are ups and downs for that.
New car prices are higher than ever so I would wait until things settle down.
It could be a long while before things settle down - even Scotty was acknowledging that recently.
You are going to be very disappointed with the new vehicles.
That is why i was looking to get 2014 and below before the CVT. I'm ok with the little 1.8L
I would keep what you've got if it's still working OK, just maintain it and 400K miles or more is possible.
Are the new corollas any good with the 2.0 motor? I really don't like how they look and they look harder to do simple oil changes etc.
