Quick question: 88 Corolla wagon, FI or carbureted?

[Infinitrium]

There's an 88 Corolla wagon for sale in town. 350 firm. Body is rough but mechanically it's pretty good. Needs one tire and the seams of the gastank are wet. Clutch and brakes were replaced last year, one new strut in front, 2 in rear. Somewhat of a long story why I'm looking at it (will explain if you want) but the main thing I want to know is, is it fuel injected or carburated? I don't particularly like old cars with carbs, they all seem to not work right and they end up flooding and hard to start when cold.

I went to look at it just a few hours ago. It's carb'ed, but man it runs nice. Idles nice and smooth, no noise in the engine at all. High mileage (231000 miles) but the clutch and brakes were done about 2 years ago, Timing belt was replaced 31000 miles ago. The body isn't in bad shape at all, a few dings and one hole about the size of a quarter. It needs a few little things, 2 front tires, small exhaust leak needs to be fixed, E-brake needs adjustment and there's a noise on the left rear strut. Overall, it's quite the deal for an 18 year old 350 dollar car. I'll be paying for it tomorrow and should have it on the road by Wednesday. I'll snap a few pics tomorrow when I pay for it.

$350.00--- thats a good price for a cheap car that runs. Hell the engine alone is worth that. You can real easily fix all the normal maintenance items on that car for a fairly cheap price. Just do one thing at a time and go from there. Since it runs good, you dont have to worry about that for now. Make a list and check them off as you get them fixed. Brakes, matching tires, weld up the exhaust leak, bondo etc..... BTW 231,000 is average pretty average, but if you keep up the maintenance your car will run forever.....Good Luck

...man those skirts are gonna need replacement.

that needs some massive body work lower down.

The air filter isn't as bad as mine that came in my car. The one that came in mine wasn't so frayed but more so it had holes blown through it because it was so dirty.

Yeah, the body is rough, but I only paid 350 bucks for it, I'll probably only drive it til this coming spring then I'll probably sell it for parts or something.
