I had a '98 that was the same car, even the color was the same. Broken inside and outside door handles are common on the Corolla. I had to replace two outside ones and three inside ones. The 1ZZ-FE was known for burning oil, because from '98-'02, they had defective piston rings from the factory. I had mine for 6 years, and aside from burning some oil, it was super reliable.
I have a 1995 Corolla automatic, I bought with 240,000 miles, base model , auto, 1.7, manual locks and windows, for $600. Now has around 270,000 miles on it, but runs good and is reliable , need to replace the valve cover gasket, maybe do a tune up, and it has a exhaust leak from the flex pipe. Has rust under the rear passenger doors , They aren’t a fast car but I like them. The door handles are broken bc they are made with cheap plastic.
That is a nice Corolla... some things are really worth saving from the junkyard. Hopefully, all goes well repairing it. Also, at 0:53, was the red car to the left a Mazda RX-7 or a Mitsubishi 3000GT? It seemed nice, what was wrong with it? Anyway, nice video, and keep up the great work! I'm a new subscriber to the channel, so I'm excited to see your next videos soon! :)
THe Mitsubishi 3000gt has a bad engine. Lots of people are interested, but no one ever took her home. She just needed too much work. I guess those motors were expensive .
I helped my friend Janine pick up a 99 corolla LE yesterday! 335000km runs like a champ. Fully loaded budddyyy color keyed door handles .. Power options my goodness! For sure like a Honda but lasts longer. She was looking at a cr-v I couldn't recommend it when I saw the rolla on Craigslist. We got it home last night, heading for a pre-inspection today. Wish us luck! Atlantic Canada has got some mighty stiff inspection requirements 😲
Got some bad news. Just sold my mom 98 basic 3sp auto trans Corolla late March. Mechanic guy was happy to buy it with over 283k miles. He test drove it, showed him all the parts I had replaced since Fall 2018, and said its all good just I can tell the Cat Converter is kinda clogged, he left happy. Now its kinda sad. Mom was original owner, now to its new home.
If you're getting chattering or intermittent squeaking from under the bonnet on any '90s Toyota it's worth checking out the idler rollers on the auxiliary belts. If you live somewhere subject to high temperatures they tend to dry out and get noisy faster than you might expect, though pretty much anywhere they tend to have had their day by about 100,000 miles. If you leave them and they seize they can snap or throw off the belt which can leave you with no water pump and a cooked engine. Plus I do know of cases where the belt going has taken the air conditioner compressor clutch assembly with it which isn't cheap, even assuming the clutch pack is a separate part, on some compressors the clutch pack is integral so the only fix is a replacement compressor...
The 2001-02 Corollas have the front end you like, as the white one, only 2 years. I like the S version, has the Celica seats and steering wheel, wished I bought one new.
I have a 1996 Corolla I bought for $450 with 283k on it it now has 313k miles on it now!! I love it, been very reliable, has decent acceleration and all power with cruise control. I was wanting to know should I change the transmission fluid it shifts fine or should I just leave it alone??
I don't blame you haha. Evrey one that you find out there has such little rust. Like you said as long as you take good care of the 1ZZ it will take care of you. Also remember to check the oil constantly ;)
this one is rolling coal, I presume the valve stem seals are shot. but it runs good, so we will just get as much life as we can out of this engine until I can find a lower mile engine to swap
If you have a chatter on a 1ZZ engine it might be timing chain rattle. You just replace the entire timing set with revised tensioners, it takes many many hours to do the job but if done correctly one chain can last 3-5 hundred thousand km.
Toyota Corolla is the most reliable and best selling car. Consumer Reports rates the best compact car in it's April Annual Auto Issue. It is now the safest car with many safety features standard and still comes with CD player. I see at least 6 on my street - different generations. Toyota sold 100,000 Corollas from Jan-April 2018
What state are you in btw? I'm in Ohio. Dad drives an 07 corolla CE with 80k original miles on it, 1 owner absolutely mint 0 rust ANYWHERE, cosmetically is a 9.9/10, I drive an 01 camry LE 2.2. You should clean those headlights up! Will look great
sounds like it's time to find a new junkyard. remember what I've said before, this isn't actually a junkyard. it's a metal recycling yard. and people junk cars here for their metal weight value. that's why they are so cheap, theyre not looking at it as a car. they just see a piece of metal. now if this was a junkyard, they would probably be alot more expensive too.
+argonian bilbo sometimes they have titles sometimes they dont. they run a check to make sure they aren't stolen or have title loans. if they do they can't recycle them. literally it's just a piece of metal to them. we remove the wheels and tires for rubber and aluminum recycling. the gas and oil is drained and seperated into reservoirs. then we remove the catalytic converters, mufflers, etc. alternators. starters, and radiators. all for their copper or valuable metals. then whatever is left is crushed and sent off to a meltdown plant where it gets turned into a new product. but this process takes time. so if we find a car that's in ok or save able shape we will get it before it gets recycled. and that's why I call so many of my videos "rescues" or "saves" because this is literally the end of the line for most of these cars. some of them with little to nothing wrong other then the crackhead owners needed cash to get their next fix... :(
I love cars i cant scrap nothing if i owned the junkyard i would keep everything nothing would be for sale i have a dented up rusted cavalier fender i wont even scrap it
that is! we are going to fix it to mow around the cars in the back 40. and the gold Caprice we've already pulled the motor and trans, it's now just waiting to meet its fate with the magna lift.
i have two old dodge dakotas and wanting to upgrade; there's one of these corollas here, a 99 LE for $1200. you would buy it? cheap to work on? go for 300,000 miles? what should i be Wary off in buying this used car? any input would help me. Thanks! Oh, it's auto trans
there was an issue with that particular car, there is nothing wrong with this generation corolla. was the power steering hose leaking by any chance? my 99 had the power steering hose quite literally spraying oil onto the exhaust manifold when you turned. that is about the only thing i would call a design flaw that could start a fire is the poor placement of that hose.
Rescue a junkyard Toyota? That's where they should ALL be. The only good Toyota is one that has been kissed by the crusher. I despise those damnable things.
so what do you like? fords that go through engines constantly? or maybe you like general motors products that have engine and transmission issues... or do you like dodges that have electrical issues? OH I KNOW, you like Hondas that chew through transmissions.
@@WalterKnox, I have no idea what you're talking about with Fords. I drive one that has the 4.0 engine and in the ten years I've owned it I've never had one problem with it's engine or the three previous Rangers and Explorers I wore out. I feel about GM like I do about those cursed Toyotas mainly because they are union junk and built so crudely I'm surprised any of them stay on the road for very long. As for the cursed Toyota's I know they are built here in this country for the most part but the profits don't stay here. They go right back to Japan, their mother country. Japan's automotive industry has all but wrecked America's and I refuse to own ANY vehicle that they sell. So, from your comment I can only assume you own one of the damned things, so enjoy it.

@@richardcline1337 yeah, okay buddy. my best friend was in Vietnam, he just passed away, he drove a toyota because he got tired of the American cars that are always broken at 200,000 miles. and you are aware fords are union made as well right? yes, i own a toyota and a volvo, they are both over 20 years old, so no money went to the company when I bought them but honestly I only care where the money goes to an extent, yes if american cars were actually good then I would love to support those companies, but when they are selling inferior products, I will not spend hard earned money on them. american cars are just not made to the standard they used to be (nothing is anymore) but even the semi modern toyotas will outlast the american ones. now if we are talking about real cars made way back, then the big boaty american cars are great. and the union is just another reason their cars fall apart. fords trucks might be mostly okay, but their cars suck. if I really need to list off the make, model and year of each american car we have had fail I will do that, and I can tell you that most of them failed before 200,000 miles whereas it is not uncommon to see an older toyota like the one in this video still running around with 400,000 miles on it. look on the road, there are TONS of this generation of corolla still around, but their competitor from ford (the ford contour) are almost all gone, and it is rare to see one still on the road. we actually used to have one of those that died at 84,000 miles. complete transmission failure.
@@richardcline1337 sure, the imports killed off the American cars... but they were better products that lasted a lot longer at a lot less prices, the American cars of the time were all huge bland boats that guzzled gas and fell apart. now I would love an old long Cadillac, but if you just compared the products, their lifespan and the price... it is obvious why the American cars were mostly killed off. maybe if they weren't so stuck in their ways and adapted then they wouldn't have had that happen.

Jay Smart hi think u save some cars sale them online criaglis or eBay
Man, so sad to see those pre 90's cars get scrapped, they get rarer and rarer by the day and parts become harder and harder.
They come in by the truck load.. i try to save as many as i can. Unfortunately , i cant save them all..
Send them to me! I'll save 'em!! ;)

Or maybe even more.

I still love mine to death
I have one with 348000 miles on it
I had a 2000 Corolla drive it to Ohio twice and to north carolina once put 65k on it in a year i sold it with 150k on it never broke down once
Put lucas stabilizer in it and add seafoam it will help or you can added thicker oil
Or just swap it with another known good engine.

Thats awsome man!. Thanks for watching Ill get to cleaning those headlights asap.
What state?
Common trouble occurs no fan thermostat stuck its on water inlet not on top ruins engine .also notorious coil bad on 1.6 cracks sputtering w wet.
I wish my local junkyards sold cars for next to nothing. They want a damn fortune for a wrecked/broken POS. Maybe I need to keep looking

Jay Smart I completely forgot that you said that.
Maybe I didn't say that to you directly. I do remember someone asking thou. But anyway lol, yea that's why I get them so cheap.

Did you get any better sound clips of the tapping noise? Mine is doing the same thing and I dont know how to fix it.
#Save90sCars
Good deal, cant beat those 5spds.
this one smokes like a blue hair on a heater chair, I'll probably try to source a newer lower mile engine soon. but for now it's fine
Is that a Scag Walk behind mower at :26 seconds? I love those I had one. What is the deal with the gold caprice?
that is! we are going to fix it to mow around the cars in the back 40. and the gold Caprice we've already pulled the motor and trans, it's now just waiting to meet its fate with the magna lift.

It looked clean. If the windows are clean save some they are hard to find. I need a few but I'm in FL lol
Brought an 89-90 Corolla for $500 run and drive with a lot of new stuff like struts, ball joints, brakes, etc. But it's hard to find parts for it
im the same with ford falcons, i got to try buy as many as i can and afford...
how much should you buy a corolla for and what model / yr
i have two old dodge dakotas and wanting to upgrade; there's one of these corollas here, a 99 LE for $1200. you would buy it? cheap to work on? go for 300,000 miles? what should i be Wary off in buying this used car? any input would help me. Thanks! Oh, it's auto trans
I just farted
Jay smart you have any datsun 240z or 260z or 280z
Is this corolla still around? I'd love something like this
Unfortunately no. We bought it, drove it, then sold it.
Jay Smart Well hey. it got a good home, so I'd don't think it's unfortunate at all.
I have one , it's a very strong daily driver. Had 350 miles on em. Changed to a new engine afterwards. They can live forever if you take care of them
