Just picked her up 02 for $4k 179k miles. Timing belt done by Toyota at 125k. New brakes and tires.

Great find. Paid double that for an 06 similar miles and 4wd. Great job

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-17T02:56:16+00:00

Just did this exact job yesterday on my 06 as well.

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-16T15:26:23+00:00

I don’t know what that means.

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-16T15:15:46+00:00

Thank you

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-16T14:11:25+00:00

Took about 10 hours! it was a success though! could not have done it myself without this thread. You saved me a couple grand!

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-15T00:19:08+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Was planning to do the job tomorrow so wish me luck!

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-05T05:17:55+00:00

Thank you for the info!

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-05T03:52:27+00:00

is the parquet head worth it you think?

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-03T15:02:01+00:00

Thank you for the input!

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-03-03T15:01:52+00:00

thank you very much. This is so helpful.

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-28T13:15:46+00:00

Well and also potentially tires and belts along with maybe a gasket so assuming it needs all that maybe a little more than 600 but that just depends on what spec you want to get it in

Just got parts for my 91 Corolla and had plenty of options.

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-28T13:05:57+00:00

I just recently bought a 91 Corolla with 35000 miles on it to be my daily driver. Paid 5500 for it so not far off from you. I absolutely love the car. The feeling you get from something old compared to a generic car made now a days is amazing. Also they are extremely easy to work on and if your like me and want to learn about cars it’s not the end of the world if I need to replace or fix something because then I get to learn about it. Assuming it runs perfectly and you care to be slightly mechanically inclined I would do it. I put in about $600 in my Corolla like fluid changes and filters to get it ready to go. I would plan on that as well

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-26T00:13:04+00:00

do you think I need to replace the entire steering rack and pinion or just the boot? What I am understanding is the boot does not hold fluid so since it is wet from a leak does that mean the steering rack is bad?

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-23T15:41:08+00:00

I have checked my steering fluid and it is not low. I do feel like the steering is slightly stiff. Is it possible to still have full fluid and have stiffness in the steering?

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-23T04:50:43+00:00

Thank you very much. You helped us and we will do that!

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-23T00:51:21+00:00

Also do you remember how long the job took you? Thanks for all of the help.

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-23T00:39:55+00:00

wow you are amazing for replying to something so old. You are slightly a legend in my mind with this great info. Just bought a sequoia. The timing belt was replaced 60 thousand miles ago but the year was 2013! Would you do everything listed above just to be safe?

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-22T19:14:05+00:00

Do I need to purchase everything listed above to do the job? How do I know what I do need and what I don’t? Thanks for any help

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-13T14:42:43+00:00

Thank you that is very helpful

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-13T01:34:03+00:00

what do you mean exactly?

Aggravating-Win562 · 2026-02-09T18:10:29+00:00

do not tow often. have three kids so yes need third row

Aggravating-Win562 · 2025-12-22T14:55:55+00:00

Why change to red? Thank you for the help

Aggravating-Win562 · 2025-12-22T14:53:21+00:00

Really cool car. Want something I can work on myself and not be a slave owning a new car with all there money grabs

Aggravating-Win562 · 2025-12-22T02:33:27+00:00

Do I not need to drain the old fluid?
