So I ended up with this 2005 Corolla S with 131K. Perfect interior. $6,500; I paid too much but I wanted a clean car. It seems to be professionally maintained.
All the fluids looked really good.
I serviced the oil and trans, dropped in a set of plugs. These hafta be the originals; tight tight tight. Set the SO flex head 3/8 to 13 lb/ft.
Wheel lugs are tight; need to reset torque properly.
In 5K I will service the oil again, antifreeze, inspect clean and lube the brakes. Has good Michelin rubber.
One wheel is scratched pretty bad, rest are 20 year old car OK.
My niece will be over later this evening to pick it up, I believe. She will surprise the younger twin girls.
