Bought a 1995 Dx 1.8L with 255k miles for $1400 two weeks ago, the previous owner took very good care of it and had put new tires and new battery on it. Runs and drives like a dream. I get 35mpg!
I just like how ridiculously reliable this particular gen of Corolla is and I'm not one to drive new fancy cars, I could buy 10 cool old cars that I can actually fix myself or 1 new car that is all computers and wants to spy on me for the same price lol
This one came from Craigslist but they come from all over. Auctions, estates, friends, etc. I always have one hand on my phone looking through listings basically
I have a '95 Corolla wagon with a 5 speed manual and 156k miles. The PO took good care of it so the only thing I needed to do was to install the clutch safety switch (which he kindly left in the glove box). Having just sold a 2020 Hyundai Accent with 6k miles, I can vouch that the ride and handling is amazing on this 27 year old car.
My mom owned a 94 model. It ran to 600K and died. She owned from new. She defs got her money worth out of that little Toyo. Great little fuel efficient vehicle.
Just regular maintenance or really expensive repairs like engine or transmission and have you taken it on any road trips recently and has it had any issues passing smog?
1996 Corolla wagon 5speed 334K miles Runs like a champ 👍 love it ❤ I'm about $2,300 into it : AC recharged, new tires, windshield, battery, starter, points, plugs, cap & rotor
Traded an engine for a 1994 corolla 1.8 manual , and I'm psyched to get it on the road for daily. Parts are really cheap, all engine mounts at rockauto are like 30 bucks for all. I'm into that
I had a 1995 corolla as my first car had 287k miles on it when i sold it. Very reliable fuel efficient car. This one is in nice shape too! Great video jim!
I’ve got a 1995 hilux surf jdm suv weirdly I bought it in the middle of no where Mississippi and it has the same color seats as you have in that carolla
Hello Jimmy. We have this Corolla in our family since 1993. I'm from Europe and I'm looking for the badge on the trunk. Can you please help me with the size of it because the Toyota dealer says that it's not available anymore? I want to order it from aliexpress and I need the correct size because I've already purchased badge but it's too small.
There's a grommet underneath the brake like switch if it gone you'll feel a hole where the old grommet goes try that first before tackling brakelight switch
I think old cars are cool, but it is a shame that they aren't as safe or safe at all. Also in my area they would probably be all rusty, but they seem great for states without winter weather
My 95 is a 5 spd Auto trans the toyota dealer showed me that it has a 5 th gear on the schematic and so I drained the fluid 6 times to get that black crap for fluid out of there and on the freeway I can feel 5th gear and watched the tachometer drop down 1800 rpm and it is still working great 5 years leater
The car sounded liked my 1st car. My 1st car was a 1998 Ford Contour SE in light denim blue. I got that car in mid October 1999 till late May 2005. It was a good first car.
@@jimmyjimjims7483 I feel your passion about them. 2 weeks ago, I bought a rare model of the seventh corolla generation, the european Liftback GLi 1.6i 4afe version with 115hp, 5 speed manual. It is in almost like new condition as the previous owner was really picky about it, so I am super excited about this found!
do you keep most of these cars? and do you insure them? curious how one has such an extensive car collection interested for myself.. lol@@jimmyjimjims7483
Some years have a switch, and for some years its just a plastic cap (with a switch underneath). For the years where its a switch it allows you to put your foot on the brake (while holding the switch) and manually change gears while the car is off or without power so you can roll it in the event the battery is dead
My suggestion is buy oil filters 5-10 of them thermostat 2-5 of them there not having a lot of parts for these cars I can't get parts for a 2001 not any junk yard parts for a 100 miles . Or more
Yes very good had 94 Corolla beat as hell no shocks still ran good change spark plugs PCV valve wires put 21.000 miles year and half stuck in 12 degree weather freeze battery I though went someone gave me a jump maybe a couple I don't wanna and boom starts it was good car just not safe radiator no good on top of everything 12 degrees I kept antifreeze in it didn't stay oh they good on gas too
@@psycho479 Those were good little cars, the automatic transmission in those I believe was only a 3 speed so at freeway speeds the engine revs at like 3k or 4K RPM so they are quite buzzy but they’re pretty reliable, with the 5 speed manual they’re practically bulletproof
dude -- can't believe you are cannibalizing a brake light switch at the junk yard. Just had this issue with my 2001 corolla and the switch was like $18 new at AutoZone. I love rummaging junk yards as much as the next guy, but man you need help :-)
I used to just buy clunkers to have fun with but eventually I got a dealer's license due to legal issues and such. The good/nice ones go up for sale and the older ones I keep for awhile (like this Corolla).
I have a small lot that I keep upcoming cars/for sale cars on, the problem is my phone # and address are largely displayed across the whole front of it so I can't show it on video or people will call me/show up randomly to harass me (which has happened before). I tried to edit it out of some older videos but my software only blurs stationary objects so I just don't film there and took those old videos down. Eventually there will be videos there but I need to fix the place up first and get some better software, looks like a dump lol
I meant like a website that would be kinda cool I drive through El Paso quite often and you seem to acquire all the weird cars I love like that Plymouth or the previa so one day it would neat to go by a small little lot with cool cars for sale

Amen brother! I like watching videos of old cars better than exotic supercars that I'll never get to drive.
Great Video as always, Jimmy. Keep them Toyotas coming!
Officially been a year since I watched this. Feel old already lol.
Where do you find these prices!?!? Here in California a beater car is now around $2,000 used car market is insane.

I got a 1997 Classic Edition Corolla and it's so nice.
Hope you are OK from your Surgery and Happy New Years and Keep those Toyotas coming
Hey JIM do a part 2 I like seeing you fix up those old Toyotas, by the way I have a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross on order can't wait to get it
Good stuff man I'm glad you managed to find a reasonable priced old boiii
good to see you back again cant go wrong with a Toyota or Honda Smart Man.
It will be my first time having a Toyota Corolla 1995 with 253,000 Miles and it's a automatic transmission I'm happy tho next month
For our 94 corolla, we were missing a brake rubber stopper, that's why the lights were on for us
The brake drum was super hard to remove for a while, after a couple of months we were finally able to remove it one day
I’ve got a 1995 hilux surf jdm suv weirdly I bought it in the middle of no where Mississippi and it has the same color seats as you have in that carolla
Those were the best years longest lasting Corollas 500.000 miles
Longest lasting longer than Honda or anything else
Excellent! Amazing! Yo are a wonderful mechanic!
Had a 93' with 290K same color In/Out. They were built to last and easy to work on and find parts were everywhere
great work. more people need to watch your channel.

Great vids. I drive an 05 camry runs like new
i own one, and love it
15:54 ... that mount is not the bad one to do imo it is that other one by the firewall
What about the oil burning or did you ever hear that
The car sounded liked my 1st car. My 1st car was a 1998 Ford Contour SE in light denim blue. I got that car in mid October 1999 till late May 2005. It was a good first car.
Also there's a adjustment around the throttle body that I can remember itS way in the back of the engine it looks like a choke plate if I can remember
what are you doing with all these corollas afterwards, do you sell them or you keep them in a huge garage as collector?
Both, I keep the ones I like (such as this one) and sell the rest so I can buy more. I have 4 currently

Hey Jim I just bought a 98 and was wondering about the switch just above the park on the shifter housing. What is it for?
Some years have a switch, and for some years its just a plastic cap (with a switch underneath). For the years where its a switch it allows you to put your foot on the brake (while holding the switch) and manually change gears while the car is off or without power so you can roll it in the event the battery is dead
Bought a 1994 Toyota Corolla for 550$💪🏼💪🏼
I know of a 1993, 1.8L & had around 281k.
My suggestion is buy oil filters 5-10 of them thermostat 2-5 of them there not having a lot of parts for these cars I can't get parts for a 2001 not any junk yard parts for a 100 miles . Or more
It uses a 4967 oil filter, same as a lot of new Toyotas with the 2.5. Shouldn't go anywhere for a long time
These ones are going for an average of $3200 in Kenya.
This is a old not good condition one.
Yes very good had 94 Corolla beat as hell no shocks still ran good change spark plugs PCV valve wires put 21.000 miles year and half stuck in 12 degree weather freeze battery I though went someone gave me a jump maybe a couple I don't wanna and boom starts it was good car just not safe radiator no good on top of everything 12 degrees I kept antifreeze in it didn't stay oh they good on gas too
If it cranks.it is good, old toyotas do not die they just roll on. Easier to kill tv slasher than a toyota.
I love those cars
I am thinking of buying a 1997 corolla and this video is going to help me how to fix it thank you
Nicee love this car i actually have one myself there really nice u should put a Subaru Impreza bumper on it it would look sick
What site do you go to buy these cars ? I used to have one just like that . The 2001 is even better version
Craigslist mostly
I found a 1.6l automatic 94 SR apparently only sold in Japan! Is it any good?

lol save money where you can. That can $18 can go towards gas 🤣🤣
Autozone switch will die before 20 yr old toyota oem switch will. Not about cost it is about toyota reliability.
Damn engine sounds smooth!!
I'm lives Liberia how can I get this
I want to see if I can put a 4speed automatic transmission in a 1995 Corolla dx instead of the Three speed automatic
Do you have a car dealership? Or do you just like buying cheap cars and what not?
I used to just buy clunkers to have fun with but eventually I got a dealer's license due to legal issues and such. The good/nice ones go up for sale and the older ones I keep for awhile (like this Corolla).
Oh ok I was confused because you keep saying “ the lot” and I was kinda excited to see what cars you have but I guess that’s just a saying
I have a small lot that I keep upcoming cars/for sale cars on, the problem is my phone # and address are largely displayed across the whole front of it so I can't show it on video or people will call me/show up randomly to harass me (which has happened before).

When washing the car is better to pressure wash the engine to get all that nasty gunk out when working on it
