So I bought myself a beater 2000 Corolla on Friday for 400 bucks (Canadian) to replace my horrible Jeep Compass. This is my fourth Toyota, having owned an 88 Celica GT, an 88 Corolla wagon and a 93 Corolla wagon in the years past.
Anything is better than a Jeep........so congratulations to you on your Corolla which should still prove to be a dream over the Jeep even as a "beater." Welcome to the forums!
