      Scotty, I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla CE 4 speed automatic too since new, now with 210,300 miles and my Family and I paid $7,736.24 in additional non regular repairs after 133,964 miles, during the last 53 months , 4 years 6 months, the equivalent to $145.97 a month during 76,349 miles, none of those repairs are major repairs like engine transmission or a/c, or rack and pinion or cooling system, but living in from of the beach, close to 16 years, 4 pro body shops estimated the repairs can be made 2 offered written warranty, using original Toyota parts , is around $9,500 including replacing the Toyota carpet and roof liner as well as part in the trunk with rust, the Toyota front windshield the power mirrors the front headlights even the hard cover of the instrument panel and the steering wheel, including the front grill, I will ask for the polished XRS version, basically, this Corolla could be restored. The trusted mechanics want to buy it because of what you show in this video, I have it since new and do the simple maintenance you mentioned by myself, is super reliable, days ago I filled the tank and measured 33.17 miles per gallon, the left axle was replaced for the 1st time 2 days ago, with the original Toyota left axle. ... but I could still hear my Father Rest in Peace Opinion, saying is not worth to pay $9,500 for a pro repair to a 16 years old car....But this is a Corolla that can run forever, and I will miss the simplicity of this trouble free 4 speed auto, no CVT, tha5 just required a part of a few dollars for its shift lever at 198,000 miles, I want to repair it, always uses synthetic oil, always original ATF T IV Toyota fluid, replaced by myself every 15,000 to 26,000 miles , Blackstone Labs has tested oil samples many times last time at 203,000 miles and found it excellent and I am following your advice of changing the oil every 3,000 to 3,400 miles with synthetic because is cheaper than repairs to a head gasket or a rebuild, but my Father will say, is still and old car, that everybody wants to buy it..... your video suggests your response, to keep it, I understand paying less for body repairs is a mistake, body shop work is more expensive thanks Scotty

    Thanks Scotty. These 9th series Corollas are the best imo. Bought a 2006 LE 3 months ago for $2500 that had 366K miles. Looks just like the one in the video -pristine. The only issue with these is the intake manifold needs to be changed out with the orange silicone one which the prior owner already did. Oh, plus the stuck Odo at 299999. But I just use the Trip Odos. A for the 5K oil change and Trip B for fuel fill up to gauge gas mileage. It gets 30mpg on 87. Yeah, a big money saver! My 3rd Corolla. I get to keep them until something hits them -car, deer, etc. I always buy them used. VVT-I is a no-brainer which are known to go 800K miles or more before a rebuild. Also supposedly by law the Japanese have to replace their engines every so many years so there are a ton of used 1.8L Toyota engines on the market dirt cheap. The 9th series is my favorite due to its highway-speed handling.

I got a Pontiac Vibe with the same powertrain years ago, because I could not find a Toyota Matrix, but since the Vibe is made with Matrix parts, I found my 2005 model with 142k and knowing how well the 1.8L engines were, I was very lucky to find it for the price years ago.
