You don't really give much information for us to render any kind of opinion, which is what I assume you're after.

How is the mechanical condition? Any rust? Mileage? Any story behind the rice-boy hood vents/roof scoop and AEM sticker?

If it runs well, it's probably worth it, but if it's gonna require some work, i derno...

The roof scoop definitely reduces its appeal. If you do get this car, please remove it lol.

for 300,000 plus miles you shouldn't be paying more than 600 tops... the tranny shouldn't be helping price either...

you should offer 500 cash honestly it's not worth more than that... i just bought a 91' DX Auto with 258xxx the only problem is a little rod-knock but for 300$ the price was right!

i'd rather spend under 400 and know whats the matter rather than pay 600-700 and find out...

Do you just want to get a Corolla for the sake of having one?

Might I suggest you be patient and wait for a better example to come up for sale. I'm sure for a few bucks more that you can get a non-carby model AE92 in better condition with way less miles on 'er.

I think you can do better than that 'Rolla you're showing us.
Cheers!
