Toyota Carina e

I just bought my very first Toyota,
being a Carina E automatic, estate,i paid a very nice price for it as
it seems to be a good price and low milage 118000(i was told that this
is low for this type of vehicle)
Could anybody tell me if this is true and if this is a reliable
vehicle(should have asked these questions before i bought it).Please
advise about gearbox and engine.

Whether the mileage is high or low depends on the model year of the vehicle.
118,000 miles is high for a 1 year old vehicle and low for a 20 year old
vehicle.

In general, as far as I know, the Carina is a reliable vehicle, but on a
used vehicle, reliability depends a lot on the maintenance and repair
history, age, mileage, and conditions under which the vehicle was operated.

Yes, the Carina has a gearbox and an engine. Which engine and gearbox does
yours have?
