Okay, here is the situation.

Car in question is a 2001 Corolla with about 135k on the clock. (girlfriends car)

It all started the day she rear ended a truck. The damage wasnt all that bad, just some bodywork, and messed up the alignment a little (still needs to be done). So her dad very nicely got it all fixed for her. I would have done it myself but i just have zero ****ing time recently.

Only yesterday did she start driving the car again. This is when i noticed that it has a TERRIBLE missfire. I only changed the plugs on her car like a month ago, so its not that. The car has a check engine light that im going to look at in further detail too.

My question to you guys, is what would you do? Would you really spend more money at this point? Or bite the bullet and move on?

Im not really asking the question for me, i already know what i would do (not going to say as to not give a bias response), yall prolly could guess anyways.

Lets hear it!

i would find out exactly what's wrong with it before you move on

 

hmm, screw the car, Seb, give her one of your homemade gifts, lololol..
I agree with Sk8 though, its a Toyota. Go over it again real quick. Its hard to kill most Toyotas.

 

corollas arent bad cars. and 135k makes that toyota pretty much a new born. haha. i would see if its something small. is the car paid off? bc that would definately have alot to do with it. car payments can suck. and buying someone elses problems can suck too.

 

Ill sell you someone elses problems, 94. LMAO

 

Yeah the cars paid off. The car really drives like ****. Anyone that has ever riden in one? The brakes are HORRIBLE.

 

I had a friend that had a corolla and I've driven it and I wasn't a big fan...I would just "bite the bullet" and cut your losses on this one. I really wouldn't want to spend the money to fix it up...

 

see thats what i dont understand... seb what did i tell you last night?a good running car with that many miles and body damage would sell better than a bad running car with that many miles and body damage... make sure what it is first, and if its a small inexpensive project then fix it then get rid of it

 

werd, my camary ran to 310k before I took it off the road... then again the one after that threw a rod at 150k lol so I guess it depends on its condition. I just wouldnt be too quick to throw it away.

 

if the car hasnt had problems all this time, i say look into it. and if its not worth fixing, move on
