Is it advisable to repair and maintain 96 corrola with 100K run?

Question

I have 1996 Corrola which has 100K run,still running smoothly,but dealer advices to do 90k tune up and replace timing and other belts. Please any one advice ,is it worthy to do or keep driving then discard the car.

Answer 1

Absolutely! that car still has another 100K in it. my brother has 310,000 on his 79 Toyota. may not look pretty on the out side but she still runs like a champ. Definitely worth the money.

Answer 2

Yes. If you do the maintenance as schedualed,You should be fine to drive it for a long time. Definitely do the timing belt service. I believe your engine is an interferance engine. If that belt goes then your looking at a really expensive overhaul!
You'll bend your valves And other things you don't want to have to pay for down the road. Just don't ignore your required services at their specified milage and you'll be fine.
It just won't hold much resale value when you do get rid of it.

Answer 3

On some engines with timing belts if the belt breaks. The pistons
can come in contact with the valves, creating internal damage that would be very expensive to repair

Answer 4

Cars can last well past 100,000 miles with proper maintenance.
If you are happy with the car, maintain it and keep driving.
If you want a newer car and it fits your budget keep driving and be ready to buy new unexpectedly when it breaks down.
Your other option is to use this car as a trade in now while it is still in good running condition.

Answer 5

You'll definitely want to replace the timing belt. If that breaks, you're stranded at best and need a new motor at worst. And you'll want to do the other preventative maintenance, too - even Corollas can die from neglect.

Answer 6

yes, do it :) it might last another 100k
