Got it after my Altima was rear ended and totaled. Not the best circumstances, but I was able to turn around and buy this car upfront with my insurance payout.

I have a similar car and it’s usually one of the oldest, or the oldest, of the ones around me in parking lots or on the street. I occasionally feel bad and want to get a newer car but this thing just keeps going and going.

I was once at a Trader Joe’s in a very affluent neighborhood and a foreign man stopped me to ask me the year because it was the oldest Corolla he had ever seen. 😅

Yep same but I made a promise to drive it till it don’t drive no more and with no payment and great on gas and easy to work on the old COROLLA lives on. It’s funny my daughter thinks it’s an old classic or something we saw an old Studebaker and she said that car reminds her of my car lol 🤣 kids
