well, what it comes down to is i don't have a lot of money so buying a car more expensive than 5k is out of the question. my family has had all toyotas so i know they are reliable and simple to work on.
i've been taking the bus for a while now, but recent changes to my personal life now require i get a car for farther commutes and longer stays at certain places that don't have convenient bus stops.
i really like the design of the car: its small, simple, and has enough room for me and my few things.
i decided to go for the 86 corolla because it was the last rearwheel drive car put out in that segment by toyota. why rearwheel drive? i don't much feel like fixing cv boots anymore on frontwheel drive cars and the car itself is supposed to be good on gas. hopefully that will save me some money too.
ha, listen to me. i sound like i already have the car.
anyhoo, if anyone has any information on the 85/86 corolla gts, i'd really appreciate it. just suggestions on what to look for while buying the car, noticable differences between the sr5 and the gts.
thanks again everyone!
