I have a coworker who’s looking to sell his car, a 1989 Toyota Corolla. I know the basics of looking after a car, but a car that old is almost foreign to me, because I’m from a state where cars rust out.
I figure Toyotas are pretty reliable and so is the 4AG engine, but I don’t want to end up with another money pit. What should I look out for, or should I just avoid it altogether?
Honestly, a 93 Miata is probably one of the safest old cars on the market. I’ve seen multiple Miata owners come away from head on collisions where the doors still open and close
If the wheels stay on the ground, that is. They have little rollover protection.
Fair enough. I can agree with that.
