'93 Corona EX Saloon or '96 Corolla GLi

[chon961]

guys, i need your suggestions on this one.. my car is a '93 Corona EX Saloon, 1st owned, (became mine when my dad passed away), low mileage (67,+++ kms) excellent running condition, still has nice paint but has some dings and scratches (normal for a recently daily driven car). it wasn't a daily driver before when my dad had a company car (this was his personal car).

my mom owns the '96 Corolla GLi TRD Sports version, it was her company car before,it has 213,+++kms, since it was used by her boss' family before it was assigned to her. it runs very well too, and the suspension's still ok, no kalampag or anything.

the thing is, my mom's leaving for canada early next year, and we have to sell one car. as much as i wanted to keep them both, i don't think i can afford it. obviously, the corona eats up a little more gas than the corolla, and is older. the corona's resale also is a little lower than the corolla's.

what car should i keep guys? thanks in advance

I'm really sold to the performance of 90s 1.6L compacts... those Corollas, Sentras and Civics of yore are really good performers with that mere engine size.
While features, styling and exclusivity really belongs to Corolla.
Ok yung Corona kase wala kang makikitang taxi sa kalsada. 2.0L performance. More exclusive. A notch above the Corolla.
But if i have to choose, kung ako, i'd keep the Corolla. More practical, cheaper to run and ample performer din naman.

if gas cost is not a question, i prefer corona to retain... considering the corolla mileage also, just my 2 cents...

salamat sa mga replies niyo mga bro..labag talaga sa loob ko na ibenta yung corona, my family has a very special relationship with that car, but im also thinking about its age, as well as the rising gas prices. but other than that, ok na ok pa naman yung condition.

the corolla naman, despite it's high mileage, was well maintained by the previous owner. when we got it, it had 197,+++kms, back in 2005. we also maintained it well, since we got it.

Hehe, usually threads under this sub-forum are asking which one to buy, now this one's questioning which to sell.

Good for you that you get to keep both cars at the moment. I know you've had a lot of great, sentimental moments with them, but they are material things that can be replaced unlike humans. It's good to love your cars, but when time comes such that you have to part ways, be prepared.

Just my $.02
