The $200 1988 Toyota Corolla Project PART 1 

This is my absolute favorite car I have ever owned, cant find any for sale here though

Aw yes, the Toyota that converted my family to be a TEQ family. Mom had a 92 Corolla after having GM after GM. That Corolla was so great and trouble free, she got a 98 Corolla and gave the 92 Rola to my older sis. I got that 92 from her in 2007. Sold it to a friends mom in need of a car bad in 2010 and she had it til 2019 when I surprisingly found it at a junkyard looking for parts on my Solara. So sad. In 2016 I got moms 98 Corolla. Well since then my fam has only bought Toyota minus-Dad still got a 97 Chevy truck, learned his lesson, and I got a Mitsubishi Mirage as a 1st car, good car actually but bad exhaust. Now I got a Corolla, Avalon, Tundra, & Solara. Mom/Dad have a Tacoma & Rav4. That 92 Corolla changed it all.

Carolls royce my friend had one of these but in Australia half were branded as a Holden Apollo such well built solid cars. He had it for five years and he did 80000 kms and had five small accidents in it before it was yellow stickered he only paid 1200 for it.

This scarily looks like my old Corolla! It was a great car. I never had any mechanical issues, and the AC ran cold in our Florida Sun! I upgraded to a Camry after 10 years.

$200 and drove an hour?....She's a keeper for sure. Also, I don't even want to know how that particular pattern of wear occurred in the drivers seat.

$200!? Greatest deal ever

I wouldn’t mind a 35 min vid tbh

Just bought one myself for 700 CAD, the biggest issue is the body rust

We have so many of these here in the philippines its everywhere we call it the ae92 small body its dirt cheap asf even the ae101 is cheap here as well

Great video man very educational can’t wait to learn how to do the carborator

My first car God I miss it!

This is such an underrated video🤣 so funny and awesome. Gotta love someone who can appreciate a classic 90s sedan

Carburetor shop said it had a bad carburetor huh? Maybe not. There's an AAP (auxiliary acceleration pump) diaphragm on the back of the carburetor on the passenger side. As they age, they dry up, leak fuel and need replacing. Otherwise the vacuum source sucks fuel into the #1 cylinder and floods it out, causing a well-timed put-put sound and no fire condition. The AAP's vacuum source shuts off once it warms up, which stops the fuel leak and let's that cylinder fire again. Unfortunately, running it with a bad AAP diaphragm will also ruin the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor over time.

Thankfully you made it!!! Those shit or get off the pot drives are super stressful 😫yet so inexpensive!!! 200 bucks for a whole Toyota!!?! Only in 🇺🇸

I have an 84

congrats. I'm surprised you didn't perish in the desert and then eaten by vultures.

Owned an 86 dx just like this. Put 180000 miles ran like a beast took tome to warm up just need tlc

Im also 'stupid'.I just bought one from 90' but in good condition and i love it.

Corolla is amazing

Rally Car material 😃 It is not that bad, aftermarket JVC! I love that retractable antenna. I miss my 1986 Corolla. The cheapest I've seen is $5k in my area. Lucky Great JDM BUY!!! A Scotty Kilmer classic!!!

$200us, he GAVE the car to you, battery and alternator are worth that much you got the rest FREE!! 👍👍🙂🙂👍👍

I give you $295 for dis carrw

I us to drive one of those in the late 80s. Until a carjacking occurred and never find. Good memories.

I got mine for 100 but its the wagon way clean

That’s a beautiful car! I love it!

i have the wagon,, too much funn

Are your. Car. For. Sale

Just got one for $300

For an 88, that body style looks good.

Holy crap that looks good on the outside! Growing up in the 90s i have so many memories of that interior. Friends of my parents had a loaded up corolla with all power options and the brick red interior .. i thought it was so much nicer than my parents *newer Grand-Am. Such quality!

"Another acquisition of filth" LOL!!!

What Junkyard is this? Pick nand pull im assuming? Thanks

Is that a pre-XD gen Elantra in the back?

Thats less than what they could've got for scrap, or having picknpull come and pick it up for 280$. You scored. I got mine for 500$ lol I justify the purchase due to the several hundred watt Amp and 12" sub in the back, it hits hard. The interior is actually mint in my corolla

Id say for $200 you did mighty fine.

Our 92 has 365k. Runs good

That corolla is pure gold❤
