(car has 65k miles). car is scheduled to go in for a complete engine tear-down and head gasket repair/replacement at a cost of $1500-$1600. this 01 corolla is the 5th toyota auto i have owned and i have had an superior experience with all -- except the 2001 corolla which i brought brand new from a toyota car lot. |
