2003 corolla 219,000 miles

[joeking]

I now have 219,000 miles on my 03 Corolla LE. I bought it a year ago for $4000 and put a new rear spoiler on it and installed new take off 06 factory alloys and tires. I use Mobil 1 oil and service the car on a regular basis. I cannot believe how well built these cars are for the money. I have had zero problems with the car other than a service engine light came on one time and I thought it needed a new catalytic converter. I reset the light and it doesnt come on anymore. I removed the Corolla Emlem on the back to clean it up a little and other than that it is stock. I am very very impressed with Toyota's and this is the first one I have ever purchased. I hope everyone else is having good luck too!

Wow 219,000 miles? That is the highest mileage 9th generation Corolla I've ever heard of. Congrats on the car.

Thanks W203. The car was previously used by a hospital to deliver x-rays. I bought it with 208,000 miles and it still does not use any oil or show any early warning signs of trouble. It's a great car!

Yea they are good cars, should last you a while if you keep up with the maintenance. Keep us updated on the mileage, I wanna see how many more it'll go for (might be some time).

I will keep you updated. I paid such a small amount of money ($4000.00) for the car therefore I really cant trade up for anything without spending several thousand dollars.

very nice, my 2001 is at 90120 miles right now...trying to get it up past 200k mark one day.

I was wondering if you could give us an update. How many miles are you up to now? How has your Corolla held up?
