I asked a similar but very general question yesterday.
I'm starting college at the end of august and im going to be a commuter. My mother is going to give me her 2000 Toyota Corolla, its going to be my first car, it has about around 107,000 miles on it. She says that she had it checked earlier in the year and everything was fine and before she gives it to me she'll do another check and she'll change the brakes.
So my question is, how long do you think it will last- with the right maintenance and tlc?

Toyotas last forever! I still drive a 1984 Toyota pickup with 220,000 miles on it! Change your oil every 3,000-5,000 miles, don't drive like a maniac, get the timing belt replaced every 60,000 miles (about $200), and you'll be fine. Good luck!

With the right maintenance and tlc it will last forever. If it doesn't last forever, then it didn't received the right maintenance and tlc. The problem most folks have with a car is when repairs "cost more than the car is worth" well that's a bunch of huey because the repairs always cost less than a replacement car in excellent shape - unless it's in a bad accident.

If this car has had regular maintenace throughout its life you might expect to get another 100,000 miles. However it will not be trouble-free. You can expect to spend $500 to $1000, maybe more over the next few years in unexpected repairs.

Practically unbreakable! Keep changing the oil frequently and you will get 250,000 miles out of it
Good luck and enjoy college

I have a 2004 corolla .. I used to have a 98 corolla before it ran smoothly for 160,000 and then i traded it in for this one. I like corolla's.

I would expect that car to last to at least 200K.
I bought a Mazda GLC (Great Little Car) from my sisiter in-law, with 130K on it. I drove it to the junk yard with 230K !
Best of luck at college and with the car.
