Under $1,500? Yes! By how much? I don't know! Thirty-five MPG (highway)?

Uh. No.

$750 OBO

2000 Toyota Corolla for sale. 214k Miles on it. Upgraded radio. Window tint.
Last year at around 188k miles on it the motor went out. Had motor and Tranny replaced with a used one. The one that was put in there supposedly had around 100k on it. Seen vehicle it came out of. There is an check engine light on, reason is Catalayic converter needs to be replaced. Tags are good till June 2019 I believe.
Asking $1100 obo
They originally asked $1,100, but dropped it to $750 without removing the original price? Is the bad cat a dealbreaker for any of you? Spending a hundred or two on a CC would seem fine if that was all that she needed. It only shows the outside. There is a dent in the driver's door and the front passenger turn signal is taped in place, but the rest looks great, but why don't they show the interior?

The other thing is this could be a 29 MPG three-speed, not the 34 MPG four-speed.

I just looked for cars between $100 and $1,500, but of course Craigslist always has false positives.

It looks like all of these cheap Corollas have significant problems. I would absolutely spend $200 on a cat to sell a car. I only found one Corolla with a manual and she is not great:

2001 corolla over 200,000 miles. 5 speed. Burns over 1 qt of oil every 100 miles or so. Also smokes out of exhaust constantly due to the oil burning. Will more than likely need an engine overhaul. Runs and drives. Check engine light on.

2001 with 220,000 miles for $720.
