Hey everyone! I'm kinda new here. I have a 1994 Corolla Sprinter (which I love, except for the fact that my third power wondow has died, grrr). Anyways, having lurked here for a bit, everyone seems nice and helpful, so I thought maybe you can help me. I'm looking to purchase a Corolla for my mum. I have found one which I test drove on Friday (private seller). It's a 2002 Corolla Conquest hatch, automatic. The car has driven 130,000km and was recently serviced, was a demo car and one owner from new. Everything seems well except for one thing which is worrying me. When I went to apply the brake, just as I'm about to engage it, the brake pedal seems to be loose, as if I could jiggle it before actually applying pressure. It's not alot, perhaps a few millimetres. My friend's mum has an 06 Corolla Ascent Sport and it definitely does not do that on her car. Is this a big problem or would it only involve some tightening? The other thing I noticed was that when I applied the brake, there was a brake squeal so I would need to change the brakes... but I wouldn't think that would affect the loose brake pedal? I'm taking my mum to see the car on Tuesday as I really like it besides what has been mentioned. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as we've been looking for ages to find a car we can afford. I hope it's nothing major. :)
