2008 Toyota Corolla – Extremely Reliable, Well Maintained – $3,900

Selling my 2008 Toyota Corolla with ~201,000 miles. This car has been in my family since new. My grandma bought it brand new from the dealership, and I purchased it from her later. It has been extremely well maintained its entire life.

All regular maintenance has been kept up with:

• Consistent oil changes

• Belt replacements

• Fluid flushes

• Brake service

• General preventative maintenance

The car has never broken down and has never had any major mechanical issues. It runs and drives great and has been a very dependable commuter car for many years.

Highlights:

• Very reliable Toyota drivetrain

• Cold AC

• Interior is very clean

• Nearly new tires (less than ~5,000 miles on them, lots of tread left)

• Great gas mileage

• Simple, dependable commuter car

Known Issues (being fully transparent):

• Tire pressure warning light stays on even though the tire pressures are correct (likely a TPMS sensor).

• If the car sits for about a week without being driven, the battery sometimes needs a jump. I believe there may be a small parasitic drain somewhere. The battery has been replaced, but the issue still occasionally happens.

I use a portable jump starter that works great and starts the car immediately when needed. I’ll include the TACKlife portable jump starter with the car.

Cosmetically, it’s an older commuter car:

• Dent in the fender above the front wheel well (someone backed into it while it was parked)

• Hood has typical rock chips from freeway driving

• Roof paint is starting to fade

None of these affect how the car drives.

Overall this is a very dependable car that still has a lot of life left in it.

Asking $3,900

Now for the honest truth about this car.

It’s a Toyota Corolla.

This car is basically the cockroach of automobiles. Long after civilization collapses, this thing will still be driving around with 3 warning lights on and half a tank of gas.

You could probably:

• Forget to change the oil for 10,000 miles

• Fill the trunk with bricks

• Drive it across the desert in July

• Or accidentally put the wrong gas in it

…and it would still start up and politely ask if you’d like to go to work again tomorrow.

If reliability had a mascot, it would be a beige Corolla with 200k miles.

If you’re looking for a flashy car, this isn’t it.

If you’re looking for a cheap, incredibly dependable car that will probably outlive us all, this might be the one.
