I have a coworker who’s looking to sell his car, a 1989 Toyota Corolla. I know the basics of looking after a car, but a car that old is almost foreign to me, because I’m from a state where cars rust out.

I figure Toyotas are pretty reliable and so is the 4AG engine, but I don’t want to end up with another money pit. What should I look out for, or should I just avoid it altogether?

    I also recommend against this. It’s a great car that CAN be very dependable, but it takes a person who really wants it (meaning really likes it or old cars) to own it. It’s the kind of work, if I may make a judgement about you based on what you posted, that you probably aren’t up to. If recommend a modern equivalent of this car. Perhaps even a newer Corolla.
