Toyota Gets it RIGHT with Corolla
I have had very few problems with this car. That is one of the reasons I gave five stars. It's not the prettiest or flashiest but it is so reliable and the small issues I have had have been easy fairly cheap fixes.

My 2000 Toyota Corolla is a very reliable and good on gas.
I own a 2000 Toyota Corolla and absolutely love it. This vehicle is very reliable and good on gas. I am able to take long trips to different places for a cheap price. Although the car is out of style it still get me where I need it to. Toyota is a very good car maker and would recommend their cars 10/10 times.

208000 miles and still going strong. I have no plans on trading it in anytime soon.
I love how dependable my Corolla is--it has 208000 miles on it and still runs great. I love how durable it is. I wish that some of the interior molding had been a bit more sturdy, and the remote entry fob has broken twice, but otherwise it's been a great experience.

The little corolla that could
I adore my car it's a little corolla I've had for years. There are some maintenance issues and we have had to recently replace the battery but overall for the age of the car it has held up well. It has plenty of storage space and the trunk is very roomy and holds all of the items I need.

My car will never ever start.
My vehicle will never start in the morning, and requires me to waste my time having to jump start it. When ever I drive, and go over a bump the car would start screeching. Or just driving over rough terrain in general. My car is reliable in anyway, I have had times where my car would turn off when I am driving at night. My car is cramped, and does not have a lot of space for me to store anything. It is a basic car that comes with a radio, and a ac system.
accountCircle John S
That it drives better than it looks. It is reliable and affordable.
I like it because it will get me from a to b. I dislike that it is old and beat up.
accountCircle Aria P
That it works and I am not going to buy a new car until this one stops working.
It is very old and does not have power locks or power windows which can get annoying. It also makes loud sounds.
accountCircle Karen T
It is convenient and comfortable!.
It's a car I can use. It gets me around. It is comfortable. It's old and need updates. Doesn't have Bluetooth.
accountCircle Rachelle M
Its loud, but it works fine. I could give you a ride but I have to open the door for you from the outside.
It's used and old. It takes me from point A to point B. It's very loud but cheap on gas.
accountCircle Amanda F
My vehicle is 18 years old and it runs like an 18 year old car.
This vehicle is 18 years old, which is indicative of its functionality. My car has bad rings in its engine, making it burn oil. The front end is out of alignment making steering more difficult. That and my wheels are out of alignment so it innately veers right.
accountCircle Yanis W
Car works well before 300, 000 miles.
My car is very unreliable but it does have over 500, 000 miles. It did not always start even after being jumped, and when it did drive it was very loud and had a hard time taking off. Sometimes it would slow down while I was driving and stop when I pressed the brakes. The inside of the car was very comfortable though and had many places to store things in the front of the car. I did not get the car until it had reached 200, 000 miles so this would explain the deterioration in how well it worked.
accountCircle Michael B
The 4.6 liter engine will outperform the 5.4.
I like that it gets me to where I want. Yet it breaks down a lot and the service engine light stays on. Overall it gets me by though.

Is The 2000 Toyota Corolla A Good Value?

When I bought is new it was $11,500.00. It is a very good value. It still runs very well and I have not had any major problems with the car, accept for routine maintenance.
coria N.
It has a value of about $2,000 to $3,000 depending on its condition. And for what the car gives its an awesome value.
Austin S.
I paid 1200 for it from the previous owner it was a great value for me because I was short of cash at the time
Matthew S.
<3000, good value, can be modified into something better for the cost of a new vehicle, would be a great car to convert to whatever
Madison F.
Since this car is a little on the older side the sell back value isn't that great but it’s awesome if you have low miles because this car can last a while.
Jennifer S.
The cost was average for a car of that type at the time it was bought. It is a good value as it has lasted for 19 years and will likely be driveable for many years to come
Lennie H.
I paid $800 for mine but I just got a great deal from a guy that just had no use for the car! But in great of condition that is in it's probably worth at least 1500 to 2000

I paid $2,000 For it from an individual person that was wanting something different. Yes it was a good value for the car since they was nothing wrong with it and it runs good
