1998 Toyota Corolla LE. 275K and runs like a champ! Cost me $800 from a seller down in Dayton. Only issues are a couple broken door handles and a shimmy above 70mph. Everything works (even the sunroof and CASSETTE Player  :rockon: ) except the LEDs in the rear wing and the window washers! I already ordered the parts for the Washers ($27) and handles ($12) but have yet to tinker with the LEDs.

Thanks! It has a few dings but very little rust! The interior is perfect except for the faded fake wood on the dash!

I'm jealous. I need an El Camino support vehicle. Snowed today and I decided to walk to work instead of getting slush all over the underbody. :lol:

I was thinking about a Golf R or Land Rover Discovery, but that might make a nice winter car.

Yeah, it's something you don't have to worry about getting dirty or beat up, plus the AWD system is fantastic. Once it rusts out, just junk it and get another one.

Well the Cassette player stopped playing fair with my Aux Cassette Adapter! It plays cassettes just fine tho. So I splurged on a MPE/FM head unit from Walmart for the huge sum of $17!! Stay tuned..........
