I found a 2003 corolla for $2,900.00 with no rust. I know Toyota's are reliable. But will this car remain reliable or will it have too many problems due to its age?

Hi,

I just replied to your other request as well. Same goes for this one. These cars are subject to how it was treated. Corolla is a good car and as long as it was taken care of, the age is not a big deal. 120,000 miles is not much, again if it was taken care of.

Get maintenance records and take a long test drive.

Again, this is priced right in the middle of the price range so it appears to be a good deal. It all depends on maintenance records and how it drives.

When buying a used car, you never know how it will last. However, if you take your time and find one with a good provable pedigree (records to show it was taken care of) then it just comes down to which you like the best and go with it.

Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. thanks.
