1998 White Toyota Corolla Le 4-door, The Perfect New Driver's Car on 2040-cars

Like sand through the hour-glass, so go the days of our lives, and this car has been a big part of our lives.


This is a 1998 Toyota Corolla LE.  The car has 235,588 miles.  We acquired the car in 2003 when it had 65,925 miles.  Since we have owned the car we have replace all four struts, rebuilt the brakes (front and rear), purchased one new battery and replace the power-steering pressure hose.  Oil has been routinely change every 5,000 miles.  The car drives straight, stops straight, and the air conditioner is nice and cold.  Cruise control works, as does the AM/FM Cassette Stereo. 

 

As disclosed above, the check engine light is on due to the depleted catalyst in the catalytic converter. I have enquired of a local mechanic and the cost of parts and labor to correct this issue is approximately $350.00.  This statement is not to be construed as a warranty or guarantee, it is simply a disclosure of the one deficiency that I know of with respect to the mechanical soundness of the car.   

 

Regarding the body, the clear coating is peeling off of the hood.  There is a crack in the nose which is shown in the pictures.  The wheels could benefit from a good scrubbing and likewise the carpeting could use a thorough shampooing.  That said, the seats are all in-tact with no rips, holes or tears.  This has been a non-smoking car.  All feature of the sun-roof are fully functional.  The vinyl material covering the door pillar on the passenger side is deteriorating.  


We purchased this car for our daughter prior to her 16th birthday.  I presented the keys to her with the following admonishment; "If you take care of this car, change the oil like I instructed and pay attention to the details, it will last you through high school, college, graduate school and your first two years of gainful employment.  By that time you should have saved a decent down payment for a new car."  I am happy to disclose that she did just that and the car served her as described.


I consider this car very reliable.  I drive 45 miles one way to work everyday.  If my primary driver had two flat tires in the garage tomorrow, I would have no qualms about grabbing the keys and driving the Toyota until my primary car was repaired.  


You are responsible for transporting the car to your abode.  I am willing to work with you on scheduling.  


Regarding payment, Cash is King.  Cashier's Check or Fed-wire are acceptable alternatives.  If your opt to pay by Fed-wire you will be responsible for all transfer fees.  If you choose to remit by cashiers check, I will retain the title until your funds are fully collected.  But bring your cash and you can drive it home.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
