I can finally call myself a Toyota Onwer. We took delievery of my first Toyota (and my first car!) last Saturday. It is a 1994 Corolla 5 speed with the 4A-FE engine, with exactly no options from '94. Not even the clock. That being said, I absolutely love the car and I'm hoping to get many years and a lot more miles out of it (it has 153,0xx now). If this car works out well, I hope to get another (newer) Toyota later on some years down the road.
This website has been great so far and I look forward to reading it every day!
Here's some pics of the car:
It's very clean, with only some minor surface rust on the back fenders around the doors. My uncle does amazing body work, and he said that he could do it for about $200 this summer. The only problem that the dealer noted with the car on the window sticker was that the catalytic converter was "weak", so I went to AutoZone yesterday and picked up a universal fit for $90, and I'll hopefully install that this weekend or next.
