Cleaned up the quarter million mile Corolla

[atikovi]

It wasn't particularly dirty, but it did have lots of paint chips on the front and behind the rear doors such that I had to get a second bottle of touch up paint. And this color is very thin so you have to put on multiple coats. One side skirt was scratched up so I removed it to spray paint sections of it. Duplicolor actually sells a matching paint for this three stage color, but it too required 8 to 10 passes as it's so thin, and I had to buy a second can of that too. I also used it to paint a new front tow hook opening cover. I can't tell which one it is.

Nice. Whats the drivers seat and steering wheel look like with that kind of mileage?

I haven't kept up with Corollas. That's sharp-looking ... and a hatchback.

Nice little car but I would remove those stickers before you sell it .

You never mentioned it was a hatch! That is bring-a-trailer detailed pictures. Good luck with the sale

I went through a lot of effort to get them made up, why would I remove them? It's something to brag about.

Are you keeping this for yourself or selling already?

Looks clean, but was it well maintained? What was the oil and oil filter used at the last change?

Ah, I see it's got an OEM filter. Prior owner must have taken good care of it.

Kidding. Good job cleaning it up.

I bought it to sell and to experience the mileage.

It's what he does. Between 10 and 50 times a year.

I always enjoy these posts, nice work! You have the makings of a good YouTube channel if you recorded your journey for each vehicle. Plus it could be a nice selling point.

Really? I find the amount of detail he puts into his listings tiresome. But to each their own and it’s his business, not mine.

Car still looks awesome with the high miles! I like those stickers too!

My dirt road is in better shape than your road.

Maybe it's just me, but I like reading about a restoration and seeing the pictures of the results.

How many people are looking for a high mileage vehicle and want to be reminded that it has 250k miles ?????
