I should have added that on the hand I had to change the Toyota's waterpump and timing belt. Also at one time the toyota's sidemirror and corner light were ripped off in town centre and had to replaced. The worst came when the corolla was stolen from a parking lot in town but luckily it was recovered by police after 3 days having been abandoned in some isolated side road in lavington. The thugs had forced open the doorlocks and ignition which I had to replace, also the window electric motor not to mention repainting the bumper since it had a few dents.

For the Nissan it was happy motoring. The only thing I changed was the rear brake light bulb. And it seems the thugs were never interested in the car, or its sidemirrors.

For both cars I had to change the shocks however the nissan's rear shocks were different (oil shocks) and never needed changing.

Looking back, I'd say I spent more money maintaining the corolla due to the said mechanical and crime issues.

And as someone has observed above once you own a corolla, despite it being a good car, you feel like you want to move on and get a different model for a change. Thus my present car isn't a corolla, though its still a toyota.

All this talk issue about some aged cars, that some Asian has been desperate to dispose?
Well.... some forums out there are on 2013s /14s cars.
