My first impulse would be to fix it but at $3k I’d think long and hard. I’d look at some theft deterrents (hardware or big nasty dog) and a new...
No way it’s worth more than $1k and that’s a gamble. The only way a car with that sort of mileage makes sense is if you can treat it as though it...
Well at $4k I’d walk away too. I mean that car isn’t worth big bucks at that mileage even if it were in nice shape. But putting the problems in...
I went through the same maddening issue with an 05 w/250k miles. For me it ended up being an inadequate ground connection on the 12v battery....
Like most gambles buying an old beater can be reduced to a fairly simple math problem. I like to look at $ & hrs of work per month. If it’s a...
As Elektroingueneer wrote getting a pre purchase inspection is easier said than done. If you really like the car and decide to go ahead and make...
Looks like a much better choice on the face of it. I would still want a car fax, pre purpose inspection and a traction battery test (by a...
Try teh Google? First part is called an inner fender. Plenty of results w/purchase info. Try Rock Auto too. Mud guard? Didn’t try but that...

For $5k a 2006 with 140k miles is an OK deal. A 2006 with 140k miles and "stories" not so much. Was the replaced ICE a rebuilt or junkyard...
Thanks, I think a new battery for the fob is worth a shot as it's small $. I did check the button under the wheel but as ILMPT noted that button...
Just changed the oil and rotated tires on my sons '05 Prius. Throughout the process smart key features worked fine. Last thing I was going to do...
Safe to assume the operating cost of the Corolla for 4 yrs and 30k miles (7.5k miles per year) would be a lot lower than $6k purchase price, plus...
