I would like your guys opinion on this car. I am looking at a charcoal colored 2010 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan 5m. It has the 1.8L inline 4 and a manual 5-speed. I am looking for a second car as my daily driver, something that can travel 40 miles a day (mostly highway) that saves gas and requires no maintenance. I want to know every little quirk about this car, what to expect, major problems that are high in these certain corollas. It currently has 122k miles and going for 6 grand. The exterior/interior is extremely well kept and looks brand new.
Should I get or should I not?

The price seams right there. I looked up the year/make/model on KBB and rated it at "Very Good Condition"...price for private sale was $6245. I would say mechanically you are sound, you should double those miles easily enough. Expect only to possibly need to replace the wear items like brake pads/tires/ and do some scheduled maintenance. Good luck.
Mine is a 2010 I bought it with 30k 4 years ago. It now has 120k and going strong. 4 years of issue free driving.
Alarm is a pain if you add amps and such but as long as you add the correct components all good. My commute is 80 miles round trip a day,and average 32mpg. I have a heavy foot. The best part...? Its a chain driven engine... No timing belt. Done brakes once about to do them again.. My first corolla was a 1975. Would not use anything else for my commute.
