Asked by Kane
I AM a student looking to buy my first car and I'm interested in Toyota Corollas because of their reliability. I'm interested in a 1998 model that is roadworthy, has new tyres, but has done 213,000km. Should I steer clear of a car with so many kilometres on it, and what problems could arise?
Answered by CarsGuide
15 Feb 2008YOU'RE right to look at Toyotas for their renowned reliability. The car has average kilometres for a 10-year-old model. If it's in good condition, is safe, and has been well serviced, then consider it. Old Toyotas tend to battle on if they've been well looked after.
