Right! The aforementioned Corollas! The Corollas that were mentioned before. The Corollas.

The 2004 Corolla that was stolen at least once, the owner contradicted herself, it only had a transfer of title, a constellation of dents, bad struts, and 185,000 miles.
This 2005 Corolla with 204,000 miles has been up for 3 months!
This 2005 at that questionable dealership for $3,300. Google says the dealership posted the car November 18th.

Bizarre. I am missing the middle section of my post! They sold a 1999 Accord 2.3l with 194,000 miles for $1,400, but it is a rebuilt burgundy coupe, so few, if any, parts from the body would swap over, and they would have been the wrong color. However, it had nice rims, and must have better tires, so those would be worth some hundreds. I could have swapped the wheels, sold it for $1,400, and broken even.

They posted this 2001 Accord a week ago. It is silver, which is at least significantly closer to my car, but it is also a coupe, and a V6. Those have wider wheels with 5 lugs.

How many parts from the 3.0 l engine bay fit in the 2.3 l engine bay?


It has hood struts instead of a prop and everything besides the engine is reversed from side-to-side.

Not only do they not specify the mileage, but when they show the dash, they hide the odometer behind the steering wheel!

However, My CarFax says that it had 278,000 miles a year ago!

They have a 2005 Highlander mechanic's special for $500. They don't specify what is wrong with it, but it looks clean and undamaged, so the engine and\or transmission?

2011 Xbox with 193,000 miles for $3,000. It's a manual! It is 3 years newer than the grandmamobile that I shared earlier and has 28,000 additional miles.

It is only rated 22/27!

How?!

Finally, they have a 2011 Yaris. VehicleHistory says that it has 202,000 miles. It is rated 29/36, which is underwhelming for such a small car, but the EPA says that I would save $700 a year in gas over my Accord, and only spend $50 a year more than I would if my Civic were drivable.

You know, one of these days I need to fix my HX instead of looking at other cars!
