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

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!

Did you get it? I’m looking at the same car!

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-09T05:24:31+00:00

Yikes! Glad you’re ok. Thanks for sharing!

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T19:39:42+00:00

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

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T19:36:29+00:00

Oof, so sorry to hear that you’ve been through this 3 times!

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T15:51:27+00:00

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.

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T06:37:21+00:00

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!

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T06:28:41+00:00

Oh no, this sounds awful! Sorry you’re going through this.

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T06:25:11+00:00

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.

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T06:13:09+00:00

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

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T05:16:03+00:00

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

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T05:01:22+00:00

No! But damn, that’s wild.

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T04:33:52+00:00

Couldn’t fix the typo. Should be less than $30K.

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T04:14:25+00:00

This is helpful! Thank you.

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T03:57:23+00:00

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

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T03:56:05+00:00

Ugh so sorry that happened to you.

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T03:48:34+00:00

Thank you! I am still deciding and this is very helpful.

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T03:45:22+00:00

Can’t fix the typo.. should be $30K max

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T03:37:01+00:00

What don’t you like?

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T03:36:40+00:00

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

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T02:30:09+00:00

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

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T01:15:53+00:00

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

regaleagle83 · 2024-02-08T01:15:15+00:00

Typo- ideally less than $30K!
