Medyo mababa budget if you're after the front wheel drive units of the 1990s.

And even then, dapat mag budget ka for repairs, since malabo na buy and drive lang yung mag units na ganoon katanda.

Suggest taasan mo budget para makakuha ng big body na medyo maganda.

Hi everyone,

Im looking to buy an old car too. Im aiming to get an old Corolla 99 to 00s lovelife MT. Budget is at 170K. I just want to ask some questions that has been bugging me since Ive decided to get this model. Highschool pa lang ako, gusto ko na talaga magkaroon ng ganito. Hehe. Anyway, here it goes:

1. Ano ang average fuel consumption nya?

2. Magiging daily driven sya. Magiging sakit kaya sya ng ulo?

3. Availability ng parts? Marami pa bang available parts ang ganitong unit?

4. After all repairs, tatagal pa ba ang ganitong unit kung daily driven?

Thank you.

PS: sorry kay Dhex089. Nakiride na ako sa post mo.

Lovelife Corolla was an evolution of the big body. So essentially, same engine/transmission/possibly suspension parts.

Pag used unit eto lang naman yung titignan:

1) Timing Belt
2) cooling system
3) suspension parts

Yung hindi ka titirik.

Consider rin yung body condition and the engine itself lalo na matanda na kotse.

Yes pero gagastusan mo ng malaki pa ma ensure pwede pang everyday.

May bigbody ako na GLI dati. Since EFI siya, need mo lang ensure proper oil change/timing belt chnges/battery/cooling system para hindi ka titirik.

Suspension - shocks ball joint CV joint Rack end stabillizer link.

For an old Corolla, I will try to look for something maayos pa yung body...

Madali palitan lahat (engine, suspension etc)... Pero kung bulok na body, sayang lang panahon mo

Thankyou! Magbubudget rin ako para sa repairs para maging road worthy naman sya. Kapag nakakita ako ng mga 130K na lovelife, budget siguro ako 50k for repairs?
