1998 Toyota Corolla – 203k Miles of Proven Reliability
I actually daily drive this thing because the MPG just can’t be beat. It starts every time, costs almost nothing to run, and does exactly what a car is supposed to do: get you where you’re going.
Details:
1998 Toyota Corolla (Automatic)
203,000 miles — barely broken in for one of these
Legendary 1.8L engine
Excellent gas mileage (why I still drive it daily)
Climate Control That Means Business:
A/C blows cold like a meat locker
Heater gets hot enough you could cook a chicken while driving**
Tires (ALL INCLUDED):
Currently on a set of tires
Additional set of studded Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires
Additional set of Hankook all-season tires
So you’re basically getting three total sets of tires, ready for any season.
Bonus feature:
This car is basically its own anti-theft system. Nobody is stealing a ‘98 Corolla… but the joke is on them because it will probably outlive their car.
Simple, reliable, cheap to run, and still doing
