i have an '89 corolla hatchback, auto that i will be selling once i have a replacement.

it has been super reliable over the 4yrs i've had it. best car i've had actually.[only had old cars in the past.]

its fantastic BUT!

around 8mths ago i noticed i needed to top the radiator up a lot more than i'd ever had in the past.

i've taken it to 2 mechanics and both said that it probably has a cracked cylinder head!

they said they weren't 100% sure but that it looked that way.[btw, i know bugger all about anything mechanical.]

well for the past 8mths it hasn't got worse and its been driven fine. whenever i drive into brisbane[60km away] i just check the water before the return leg of the trip. i always carry a bottle of water just in case.

more often than not it will need some water, however sometimes after a return trip it doesn't, which strikes me as strange.

so i'm wondering how much i should sell it for?

maybe i should take it to the wreckers?

obviously i'll be up front about what is wrong with it if i do advertise it. maybe no one will be interested anyway?

would $300 be fair?

it really is a great car. the previous owner bought it brand new and looked after it really well.
