I've found a 1990's Corolla Csi full time 4- wheel drive wagon with under 100,000 on the odo which appears to be in good shape. It has a 4A-FE engine and an Auto tranny. Does anyone know if there is anything specific to look for when contemplating buying this car? I am thinking of the transmission in particular as well as any other problems that they might develop if not serviced properly. What would a good one be worth? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks v much.

Not sure on the specifics of an all wheel drive corolla, but I would be wary of the k's as they are really low for the year of the car, if its a one owner little old lady then maybe it's genuine ??? other wise I would doubt it ..

 

As with all cars check the coolant condition & colour & engine oil sludge build up inside the rocker cover evident from the oil filler cap, caused by lack of oil changes & check for CV noise on full lock turns under power etc etc ..

Thankyou Rob.

You can't go wrong with an AE95. They are bulletproof wagons and cheap to repair if you do find the slightest worn out component.
