Buying a used Toyota Corolla for sale can be a great way to save. You don’t have to buy a brand new model to get enjoy the reliability and excellent fuel efficiency. You may even find yourself with extra money left over for a road trip.

Not every year is a clear winner though. Before shopping for your next used car purchase, learn which Toyota Corolla years are best for a used model.

The Best Toyota Corolla Model Years

If you’re tight on money, looking for something around R145K or less, shop somewhere between 2004 to 2009. These years will be more affordable than shopping for a newer model year in the 2015 to 2020 range. The 2015 to 2020 Corollas price is between R220K to R294K, and as much as R397K for a fully loaded 2020.


Affordability is one of the main reasons an older model year is recommended, as well as their proven reliability. If you are a tech-savvy person and want modern technology, it is highly recommended to shop in a year beyond 2015.


2003 to 2008 Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is a significant consideration when buying a used car. Smaller cars are notable for having great mileage. However, used Toyota Corollas can vary in fuel economy by a surprising amount depending on which generation you choose Toyotas 9th generation goes from 2003 to 2008. The fuel economy for this generation tops all the generations with 28-37 mpg in a city or on a highway.


The 10th generation ran from 2009 to 2013, and the consumption for the 2013 model peaks at 11.5-14 km/l, which isn’t as good as the 9th generation, but it is still reliable.


The 11th generation launched in 2014 and has the best consumption with 12.8-17 km/l, but if you want to save money, then the 9th generation is going to be the best generation to buy.


The Best Model Year To Buy

We have just discussed the three main generations and how they compare to each other. So, what is the best Corolla to buy?


If you’re trying to get the most affordable model, you’ll want to get the 2008 model due to its price of around R80,000.


If you want a car that has excellent fuel consumption, the 2009 Toyota Corolla will always get you there for less.

Reliability Of Used Ford Fiesta Hatchback Models

Image
  If you’re browsing used Ford Fiesta models for sale - make sure to keep the following possible issues in mind before you select the used Ford Fiesta you will buy. Make sure you check carefully for any clutch problems. Smelly, slipping or otherwise faulty clutches seem to crop up fairly regularly, so make sure the clutch bites smoothly and you can change gear easily. You should also check that the turbo is working properly on examples with one fitted; you should feel a small but noticeable surge of power while accelerating when the turbo cuts in. Fiestas are often used in town, so check carefully for scuffs, scrapes and parking dings, and make sure you examine alloy wheels for kerbing and scuff marks. Some early cars' alloy wheels have also been known to buckle easily, so be sure to pay close attention to their condition and walk away from any car with juddering steering, odd repetitive noises from the wheel area, or other strange symptoms.

Should Parents Buy Their Teens Their First Car?

Image
  As far as requests from teenagers go, it was pretty tame I suppose, but it’s one that’s sparked a lot of debate in our household over the past couple of months: “Mum, will you buy me a car as soon as I get my driver’s licence?”. I could see why my daughter might have thought a response in the affirmative was even a remote possibility. She had, after all, witnessed plenty of family friends purchasing their own (older) teens' brand-new cars from which to slap P-plates. Why would I think any differently, right? Call me crazy, but I’ve actually always felt sorry for kids whose first car is a luxury vehicle purchased entirely from the bank of mum and dad. What about the thrill of attaining something you’ve saved really hard for? What about all the useful skills you learn from having to drive around a used hatchback ? Studies show humans are happiest when we’re striving for something, so what could our kids possibly have to work towards when their first car is given to them with a big ...

Expert Advice: How To Finance A Used Car

Used cars can be expensive. Here's how to finance your purchase without paying more than you have to. Used cars for sale in Johannesburg can offer big savings over new ones, but if you need to finance your purchase, you may not save as much as it seems at first blush. For starters, the average price of a used car is almost R170,000—much higher than in pre-pandemic times. Interest rates for used cars can be double what you would pay for new-car financing, which is often subsidized by the manufacturer to make higher-priced new cars more attractive. With interest rates on the rise, a higher rate could cost you thousands. “The price of the used cars for sale you’re looking at in Jozi may still be pretty elevated, so it’s a good idea to avoid high-cost financing and dealer add-ons,” says Chuck Bell, a financial policy advocate for CR. “It may be better to arrange your own financing, or consider buying from a private seller, which can be more of a hassle but can result in a better pri...
