im seriously so done with my current car it just died on me for the third time this month and i cannot keep dumping money into this total money pit. i have to get to work in scottsdale every day and the bus is taking me like two hours each way its exhausting. im desperate for an older toyota corolla literally any year as long as it runs and is under 5000 dollars but everywhere i look online people are asking for crazy prices for cars with like 300k miles. i need something by monday or im gonna lose my mind. does anyone know a local dealer or someone selling one for a fair price that isnt a scam?

Maybe look for Toyota Corolla 2005-2008 1.8L listings. Just be super careful about high mileage and make sure to check the oil for leaks before you pay anyone.

TL;DR: Find a Toyota Corolla 1998-2002 1.8L! These are absolute tanks and way cheaper than newer ones. Honestly, I had a 2000 model that survived three brutal Phoenix summers without a single hiccup, it was amazing! Check FB Marketplace early every morning to snag the $3k deals before flippers do. I love how these engines just wont die!
