1991 dx

[Jonate]

Hey guys, I usually stay on the camry side of TN, but since I've been out on a bad knee I have nothing better to do but look up craigslist for cars. Anyways, I found a 1991 Corolla DX wagon on craigslist for $1200, although im pretty sure I can knock a couple bucks off. The ad says it runs good and he just replaced the clutch 6 months ago. Is this a good deal for that car? Here is the link http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/2413629913.html

I may just get the car if the price is right!
Any other info on those cars (recalls and such) would be appreciated.

it'd make a good sleeper i have a friend with a wagon thats almost down with a 5speed conversion with a 4age hi-comp swap... Theres a 4wd version for the wagon pretty rare here in hawaii but i think those have more potential

Oh, you may be too late, the post says "deleted by the Author" The Wagon I have is a great car, I have done a few mods to increase fuel economy, K&N filter, synthetic trans (5speed) and Synthetic engine oil (Mobil 1). IF I am keeping to decent secondary roads and low speed 50-55mph I can get almost 50MPG 49.3! It hauls a lot of stuff, pretty easy to get parts for it and there are loads of performance swaps for the engine, plus swap for rear discs and sway bar too. Not a bad price the wagon holds good value. The 4WD or All-Trac or SR5 Wagon, so many names; they tend to rust out a lot up in the wetter or salty areas of North America, while the 2 Wheel drive doesn't. On the good side the 4WD has regular shocks instead of struts and its much easier to get at. If you have not purchased that wagon by all means the 1990-1992 (all) Japan made wagons are good solid pieces, the newer one are rarer though just as good 1993-1996? Good Luck! If it has low miles you'll be good for years/decades.
