Wanted to pop in since I just acquired a 99 Corolla two weeks ago. It just turned 92k yesterday. Fun little car to drive around, Tundra been parked since šŸ˜‚ Reminds me so much of my younger driving days, manual locks, windows, hell there’s even no trunk lever haha. Definitely worth the 3k I paid for it. Let’s see how many miles I can roll with this thing.

I was dropping off a DoorDash order at someone’s house, and when I pulled up to the curb, apparently there was an area where the street started slanting towards the curb all of a sudden. Like I had to back up to get out of it.

I was already quoted 300+ to repair. Would you guys just live with it? I’m so distraught. I feel like I swallowed a box of nails. My poor baby.

How Bad Did I Do?

Post image
21 Upvotes

I purchased a 2021 Toyota Corolla LE with 57k miles and no reported accidents for $18k ($19.4k after MI tax). I negotiated down from $18.5k… it’s the best I could do and the best I could find in my area of West Michigan. It’s kinda scratched up but not too noticeable after covering them with an OEM black touchup pen. I had a full inspection done on it to find that the back brakes will need replacing fairly soon, everything else looked good. I question if I should have just bought a Toyota on FB Marketplace instead. I spent 67% of what I make in a year, while only working weekends and being a full-time student. How are we feeling about it?

ODO number etched into engine mount

Post image
14 Upvotes

Bought this car 2 months ago. 2017 corolla LE. thought it was kinda odd that I found the number of miles etched into the mount under my hood when I bought it. 69,272 is exactly what the csr read when I drove off with it. Is this just some coincidence? Ive owned a few toyota before and never saw numbers under the hood.

12th Gen (18-present) Silver Corolla LE 2021, Things I did to feel cooler

Thumbnail
gallery
14 Upvotes

You know it's my first car. I never thought I'd get a car so soon and so new and so cool--I used to be so happy. But as I grew to know more about cars, I learned the reputation Corolla's have for being economy cars.

And somewhere along the way I felt inadequate about it. Maybe it's just the human spirit to never be satisfied.

Though instead of trying to fix that void with trying to buy something else, something likely out of my budget, I decided to double down.

I love this car now, if not only because I have made it my own.

Let me know what you think.

Recommendations for 2024 Corolla LE

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hi,

First post here!

In April I bought my first Toyota which was also my first ā€œniceā€ car purchase, I’ve always driven beaters or hoopties.

I love this car and I want to do some slight modifications to it. It is a 2024 Corolla LE.

I do need to fix the trunk, the part that sits over the spare tire is cracked in half and I didn’t realize it until after I bought the car or I would’ve asked the dealer to fix it. What is a good recommendation to fix that? Since the original broke I always like to upgrade from factory, but if I can’t I’m not all that worried about an upgraded fix, just a regular fix is fine!

Second, is things as far as heated seat covers, floor mats, and other things that i might be missing what are your recommendations? I have a 12ā€ sub and amp I’d like to throw in it, but I’m not even sure if it would fit or be able to handle it.
What are your must haves in your Corolla? I’ve already bought a low profile floor jack since the car is so slow to the ground!

Picture of my new car so this post doesn’t get lost!

Thanks!

Got rear ended today

Back and neck are sore. Went to the er to get checked out. Thankfully no breaks or anything wrong.

Was rear ended at a stop in traffic. Guy was going probably 35-40 when he hit me. His airbag deployed. I’m not worried about the damages, insurance will handle it.

But my seat shifted back during the accident. It’s hard to notice on the pictures I took. But I sit further forward and upright than the seat is at.

After the accident I pulled over to the median and sat for a few in pain. Got out and talked with ems and le after my car called them for me. Got back in the car and noticed the seat was not in its previous position.

I did a little googling and apparently that’s not normal. Is this something worth following up on with an attorney or Toyota or? I’m a little unnerved about it all and google has given me a bit of a scare.

10th Gen (09-13) Moisture buildup and mold on the floor?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Was cleaning out my 2010 Corolla that I just bought a few months ago and noticed that the floor in the backseat is wet and seems to have mold. I’m not a mold expert but it sure looks like mold. I haven’t spilled anything or left the windows down when it rains or anything like that. I don’t even think I’ve had anyone ride in the backseat with food or drinks either. What’s causing this and how do I fix it?

When did you hit certain maintenance milestones?

3 Upvotes

Finally paid my Corolla off and looking at long term care for her.

I’ve done oil changes regularly but am coming up on long term maintenance like brakes and fluids around 72k miles.

How much mileage did you get from your factory brakes? When did you notice them going?

How about fluids and any other issues?

Saw this on my 2004 Corolla LE and I’m wondering if it could cause problems? It seems to be some kind of ground wire connected to the frame to the body that was chewed up by something. Car runs and drives great and I’m leaving to go on a long road trip tommorow. Should I replace this?

Web site to buy used manual Corolla?

0 Upvotes

My 2006 Corolla LE died in 2021 during COVID. It was a 5 speed manual. There were only 2 choices at my dealer, a hybrid Corolla and what I purchased, a 21 Corolla SE CVT automatic. My child has a drivers permit and I am thinking she'll get the Corolla SE. So I am slowly looking for Corolla 1.8 liter, 5 or 6 manual transmission. I've driven Toyotas for 49 years & most have been manuals. I understand these are not popular anymore but does anyone know of a good (used) website to find a manual Corolla? Thanks in Advance!

Serious question, just changed the oil on my 2020 corolla for the first time, and while the only thing I removed was the oil cap, I noticed those two threaded holes right in front of the oil cap. I feel like something is supposed to be there and it’s not…
