While driving over to visit my brother-in-law, I spotted a Toyota Corolla for sale(private owner) so, I pulled over to inspect it(folks weren't home). What caught my eye first was the great condition of the car. I wasn't looking for a car but I had to look! The "For Sale" sign on the car says:
2001 Corolla CE
76,500 miles
One Owner
$4800.00
I looked inside the windows and the interior is cleeeeean! The whole car is cleeeeean! Decent tread on the tires(all 4 match). Shiny paint, even seems, no noticeable discollered paint or overspray. A few mild scratches and small faint dings. I think that I want to possibly buy this car so I took down the phone # and left a message. Spoke to the folks later Saturday evening and all seem OK! Supposed to test drive later today(Sunday)...So, I looked up an 01 Corolla CE w/ an auto tranny and it shows that the tranny is a 3 speed auto(no O/D). The car has roll up windows and lock your own doors although, it does have A/C. The price seems close but, I still want to pay less. I want an automatic tranny but a 3 speed? Gotta kill the MPG wouldn't ya think? I know that these cars are very reliable and I've had them in the past(boaring/cheap feeling) but, good cars.
My questions to anyone is... Has anyone here owned this generation Corolla? And what about the 3 speed auto? How is the A/C? I'll be asking the owner more questions today. Any information that you folks here at BITOG can provide will be appreciated.
Thanks
