I'm driving 97 corolla 1.6L for my daily drive. Tired for this little car with 3 speed auto. But I have agreement with my wife to drive it until the wheel fall off since we just payoff the the other car (her car
).
Think about trade it with other fun-to-drive beater for the same price range but it would be risky trading one with quite reliable for the trouble one.
How long will it last so I can justify to get the new car (probably used car). The car has 120k mile and I drive around 10k/year. The exterior/interior seem OK, with regular preventive maintenance (all fluid/filter etc). Just replace the timing and drive belt this year. The alternator and thermostat died last year, was that the sign for more trouble issues?
