Imo yes as long as it's straight with no crashes.
👍 POSITIVE
If you just need a daily driver then yes good deal. I had a 2017 Corolla as well and the only issue with it was tires went bad quickly on it. But that's more to do with local roads and I took that car places a Corolla shouldn't go lol
👍 POSITIVE
Good deal make my mom has a 2018 and with no issues. Basic boring commuter car that is cheap to maintain. Just make sure no accidents clean title and no ode-meter roll back
👍 POSITIVE
I drove one of these once when my car was in the shop after I got hit. It was kinda boring but a great car. I'd go for it if everything checks out maintenance-wise
😐 NEUTRAL
In this market, this look too good to be true.
👍 POSITIVE
That's a decent price. Corollas aren't a whole lot of fun but they are damn near indestructible. I've heard the newer ones are a lot more fun to drive though.
👍 POSITIVE
It does depends on what your looking for? If a reliable car and stable driving is what your looking for then yes. If you want performance luxury or design then no.
👍 POSITIVE
Good deal, get a great thorough inspection before buying and check for accident reports.
👍 POSITIVE
Very good. Sold my 2012 90k Miles Corolla for 12k to Carmax last year, crazy how fast prices changed.
👍 POSITIVE
Yeah, my next car from hyundai will prob be a Toyota. My ex put 130k trouble free miles on her 2013 prius Only thing I had to do was replace the silicone sealant on rear tail lights (sun eroded it) and swap out a side mirror from vandalism breakage
