Purchasing a '96 Corolla

[algae]

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and am hoping you experts can help. My daughter is purchasing her first car and we have found what looks like a very clean '96 Corolla with 151,000 km on it.
I'm taking it in for a mechanical inspection tomorrow but I'm wondering if you know of any specific issues with this model (timing belt, etc.) that must be attended to or I should closely look for.
Any opinions or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

It's a great car, good choice. Just check over the typical stuff and you should be just fine.

I would check the hand brake ive heard problems about it. Either it wont grab or it wont release fully. The only problem ive seen on my 96 corolla is the power drops, you can see them when you drive at night if you do anything that requires electricity, the headlights lose power. Other then that its a great car.
