Somebody is selling me 96 xL for 80k. 1st owned, no overhaul 87k kms, good aircon new compressor, radiator newly overhauled, new clutch disc, shocks newly replaced. Only problem is rust on rear fender near mudguards and cost of body repair about 15k. Is this a good buy?

Daming jdm fenders sa banawe. Take out the cancerous fender, weld in a new one, repaint, voila.

I love bigbodies. They're so cheap to maintain.

Kung talagang 300K mileage masyadong mataas at gamitin ang sasakyan na ito kaysa naman sa iba na ipinabababa ang mileage para magandang mabili. Ang sakit lang ng Toyota 2E engine iyong mga oil seal niya madaling tumagas sakit o kadalasan na makikita mo may tagas sa makina dahil sa mga replacement na nabibili na valve cover gasket at oil seal na mumurahin pag tumigas goma doon na nagkakatagas.
Tignan mo munang mabuti makina kung may mga tagas ito ng langis . Okay naman engine performance matibay kaya maraming mga taxi na ganito makina. Pinaka importante siguro tignan mong mabuti kondisyon ng makina bago mo bilin baka loss compression at malaking gastos din iyan dahil sa mataas na mileage nito .

i bought a toyota corolla 96 with a mileage of 300+ but i know the owner personally and the vehicle is well maintained, high mileage is immaterial if the vehicle is well maintained, i wish i'm correct......
