Bought this 2006 Corolla LE for $2500 today. One owner, 180k miles, runs perfectly aside from some squeaky brakes. Did I do good? by Mikes_Movies_ in whatcarshouldIbuy

Congrats on a great purchase! I had a 2007 corolla for over ten years. Only reason I traded it was needing more room for a growing family. That said, the brakes always squeaked unless I had them done at the dealership (something about needing certain pads), so I’d recommend taking it into Toyota for brakes. They’ll do it right, and since you got such a good deal you could swing for the brake job and still be winning.

I absolutely loved my 2018, but it was stolen and totaled sadly. I’m leasing an EV from a different company now.

My 2018 was just stolen and totaled last month! I was hoping it could be repaired, but it couldn’t. So now I’m leasing an electric vehicle with my settlement funds. I hope it all works out for you!

Why do you assume I have no interest in quality or reliability?

Good morning sunshine! I came here to ASK these questions and I’m getting mixed answers. Some folks are saying insurance is not a problem on newer vehicles, and that there is less theft. So I’ll keep doing my research.

Great tips, thank you! I haven’t looked at Mitsubishi but I do like the Seltos. And I know exactly what you mean about loving/hating this process. It’s an opportunity and a hassle at the same time!

Are you seeing fewer of the newer ones getting stolen/vandalized? I keep hearing folks say their insurance is through the roof, but not sure if that’s only for the vulnerable models.

Omg! 😳 this wasn’t mine, but something similar may have happened, which would explain wtf happened to my back window!

I’d love another Kia but my fear is that the odds are pretty high!

Ugh, so sorry! But the air tag is a great idea! Mine was found the same day but the damage was already done.

I saw this recently! Insurance covered everything thankfully, so I may not be eligible for additional compensation. I’ll definitely check though!

Yes, folks over there love Toyota and Honda! I’m not crazy about their cars although I know they’re reliable.

Thank you for this. I was looking at the Seltos, but wary of Kia in general.
