My work colleagues were saying the Toyota Corolla might have too many miles… it’s at 168K.

Gonna keep my options open and research hard for the car. I’d like to be driving it before I leave for my vacation(which is on March 23.)
If the owner is your age, these are probably harder miles than a senior would put on it.

That is too much. I always assume 200K is about the reasonable service life of a vehicle. This car only has 30K life left, or about 1-2 years. Not good. Try to get under 100K.
I’ll keep looking into those other options I have as well.

Curious, would you say the same regarding Hondas?

The bigger factor is age, with rubber/plastic/electronics wearing out due to exposure. Hondas and Toyotas can last well over 200K, but yes 168 is high.

Make doesn’t matter that much for modern cars. 168K is a lot of use to be buying a car. It’s like wifing up a 37 year old single mother. You could do it.. but why?

They can but why make the investment?

Good analogy.

I’ll look into the other options

Lol, this is why you test drive. Kinda like with women.

This car may have had a wild youth though, you know about those band campers.

I'm in the market for a car and am going to get an Impala


They're durable cars that don't have the Toyota/Honda reputation so for the price of that Toyota you could probably get one close to 100K miles, OP.

Decided not to get the Corolla. Will get one under 100K miles as suggested.

The hunt continues…

Extending my goal to get a car to May 5.

Also don’t want to wreck my corporate emergency fund to get it. Will need to take out a loan with the credit union or my bank. I already learned the process for that this weekend.

One thing that is really frigging annoying, is that my bank is denying my request for a $5000 loan even though I make a decent amount of money a year(68K) and I have a credit score of 721. The main reason they cite is that I haven’t had credit for very long.

My cousin told me that I’m not going about this right. He says I need to go in person, tell them how much I make, and be willing to put down some money. Also, have proof of income and the bill of sale for the car that I want already. Then, just pay the bank back over time.

Im going to do this at my own bank and a couple credit unions. If they continue to deny my requests, I’ll just use my corporate discount to get a rental every weekend so I can go out and socialize/game. Then, just stack my cash until I can afford a car outright. Either way, I will be fine.

Ideally, I can do this without touching my corporate emergency fund cause otherwise I’ll have to start over.

I’ll update the thread when those next steps occur.

Lol they might be worried you will pay the loan off early and they won't make much money off of you. You don't have a long history of paying interest...
