Any ideas on how many miles you can put on one of these if it's well maintained? I'm looking at a manual one for $2500 with 187,000 miles on it in excellent condition. I wouldn't mind putting $2k-3k into it for engine, transmission, and clutch work in a couple of years/230k miles if the rest of the car is going to last reasonably long... another 5-10 yrs/100k+ miles. What do you think. Would I just end up losing a lot of money in a bunch of minor repairs. Rust isn't an issue where I live.

Thanks for your help!

The engine will never die on a corolla. you can put as many K's on it as you want. The car will fall apart long before the engine stops working (obviously if it is properly maintained..)

Peace.

Don't answer the spambot, you don't get the same sense of satisfaction and warm glow inside that you do when you help a real person.

Instead, feel free to make disparaging comments about them, or join us in our current trend of just spouting out cringe-worth Fast And The Furious quotes.

You want a piece of *****, go to Hollywood Boulevard. You want an adrenaline rush that'll be two large.
