I was very much enjoying my little Toyota. It got pretty good gas mileage and didn't need much maintenance. My car was totaled, so I don't get to drive it anymore. I think if you get one low mileage you can drive the wheels off of it! The only complaint is that back seat space is tight.

My stepdaughter bought it from the original owner. She had it for a bit then my daughter came of age and it was passed down to her. I always knew that I would end up with it so I never minded the maintenance needs that would arise; new tires, headlights, etc. Now that it is mine I can’t believe how much I love it! Especially VE wheels. I see so many Rollas out there missing a hub cap. These cars are underrated. I replaced the rack and pinion and the struts and now it drives like a European sports car. I had a rust spot fixed on the roof and had them install antique “super badges on the fenders. I’m having fun making it sporty and unique. I’m customizing the interior with leather work that I’m doing myself. It’s fun and rewarding and a surprise really because i didn’t realize how wonderful these cars are.

I bought my 1999 Corolla VE out of desperation. Needed something to replace my 1993 Accord with almost 300K miles (no kidding). I wish I would have taken my time, because I'm not loco for this car. It is too basic. I bought it in Nov. 2007 with 76K miles for $9K! I felt it was too much, but OMG it was a Toyota. Quality this, quality that. Yeah, this car can take a beating, and still run its little sluggish heart. But it is ugly in the back LOL! It looks mad as hell in the back with it's squinting eye taillight design LOL! It's probably mad that it can't perform worth words I cannot say at church. If ANYTHING, get an LE model and not the VE, at least you can have power everything. VERY LEAST!
Wow you can't kill it

250,000 miles and never have replaced anything except tires. If you want a car that lasts mechanically this is your car. I am not easy on cars and this one has never left me stranded, whether on long trips or 100 mph for half an hour. Worth its weight in gold.
Good

Let me start by saying this little car is a beast passes brand new car's on the freeway that;s why I named this 1999 Corolla Dusty see I feel these older cars were made with better quality that last if a part goes out with Toyota you replace it and that same part can possibly run another 100,000 miles newer cars it's to much electronic's now which costs thousand's for sensor repairs. I bought mine from a junk yard in 2011 and it's 2025 it's a state salvaged car that i bought from a junk yard I did put a new engine in it, in 2011 but it's the original transmission. 99 Corolla has fast pickup getting on the freeway and maintains same speed as the brand new cars on highway. Maintenance is the key watch the Youtube videos DIY I change my own oil on the car drain the transmission fluid, I change the spark plugs, I changed the starter, tire rotations, drain and refill the radiator fluid, change brake pads, if everyone does just these simple things this car will run you like the 14 years I've had it and it's still going strong, let me tell you it's taken me to Burney Falls where the 150 feet waterfall flows a must see and yesterday to Bodega Bay I live in California so it's a very good out of town car just make sure you do your maintenance. Oh and before you go out of town make sure you have a new battery and check your alternator, the starter, alternator and battery all work together with the electrical system on this car if one starts to fail all (3) components will start to act up so just replace all (3) of them if you have high mileage otherwise you will have to examine one by one which is the problem, So maintenance is the key with this car. Now, in 2025 I will say sadly people are not obeying the speed limits and driving beyond 90 miles per hour on the freeway and aren't valuing life. This car will keep with them but here is my advice it's an older car with less safety features so you have to take that into consideration that's my only con to EVERYONE the speed limit here in Californian is 65 mph, I do 60 mph for safety 5 miles under. Also if you don't want to do 80 mph and above you have to stay in the left lane in California the right lane is for the fast drivers. So the 99 Corolla is absolutely amazing car to experience in anyone's lifetime because you have beautiful life journeys with this car you will always remember but people are driving to fast these days. I constantly have to pull over on roads to let them pass because this is an older vehicle in excellent condition mechanically but lacks abundant safety features their cars have and in an accident the 99 would fair badly at the rate of speed people are driving these days and they know that and take advantage. So my advice the 99 Corolla is super fast my motor was built in Japan so I would not advice a parent to put a teenager in this car it will reach 90mph without hesitation it's the safety features it lack, put them in a 2016 or above Corolla the 99 is for older people like me in their 40's that drive safer through from life experiences and catch other driver's errors to avoid and accident. So to everyone yes buy the 99 Corolla but keep up on maintenance and drive safe and slower please, I also own a 2006 that I bought brand new back in 2006 it's my baby to runs like a champ. Best wishes to all
