    As a former owner of a ‘99 Corolla I can confirm this was an accurate listing. The only thing that managed to kill mine was rust.

      Same, I miss my 03 Camry. That thing was a beast. Took hard hits from some wildlife, got backed into, had branches fall on it, and still made it to 300K km and never once broke down. It was so rusty my mechanic told me to get rid of it before it broke in half. When I donated it to the kidney foundation, it drove up into the tow truck under its own power.

      Sadly, Toyota doesn’t have the sauce anymore. We looked at new Corollas and they felt way creakier than the “golden age” ones. Plus their CEO is a maga chud now :(
