    How Many Miles Do You Have?

    My first Corolla was a 2007 bought in the same year used. Sold it to neighbor at 260,000 4 years ago and they are still driving it. Got a new '14 which now has 172,000. No oil use ever on either car. Wrecked the '14 but still drives well. These cars are little tanks. You can't tear then up.

    My kid killed her '03. What's this thing worth?

    Sorry about the '03 which isn't worth much. Maybe your kid could get a part time job and help pay for the engine. He/she will remember to check/change oil.

    14 suspension

    If you're looking for a quick mount strut for the '14 good luck. So far only KYB has them. Plus a Chinese set for the front. Previous years won't fit.

    If you remove the serpentine drive belt and start it, you will know immediately if it was any of those components. It's not impossible for the dealer to miss something
