#152 of 156 We just purchased...... by bottgers Jun 03, 2009 (5:00 am)
.....a '94 Corolla with 132K miles for our daughter. The car runs and drives beautifully, but I have no way of knowing when the timing belt was last replaced. Does the '94 have an interference engine? How often is the timing belt supposed to be replaced? Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Jun 03, 2009 8:39 am)

Replying to: bottgers (Jun 03, 2009 5:00 am) Non-interference engine, so it just stops with no damage if it breaks. I think it is something like every 80k miles? If you have an owner's manual with the maintenance schedule, it will tell you Toyota's recommended replacement interval.
#154 of 156 My 2002 Corolla at 280,000k or 175,000 miles by 2002corollaon Jun 16, 2009 (10:28 am)
I plan to keep the 2002 Corolla for another 3 years or 380,000km. The car has run smooth and quiet the past 6 years. I use Mobil synthetic oil. Just replaced the serpentine belt (should have done it earlier as many cracks on existing one). It was someone at a Mr. Lube who noticed. The dealership where I normally get the oil changed never mentioned it.   No major repairs that I can recall. Quite a few rotor servicing though. Starting to eat a bit of oil now but that's expected at 280,000km. The A/C is still running fine too.   My 92 Tercel was not as reliable. Had a transmission leak early on. Water pump leak. Engine gasket leaks a couple of times. I must not have been monitoring the oil level at the end and it was very low at one point. Tercel kicked the bucket at 240,000km. Blue smoke, low engine compression. Body was in very good condition though. Was told I could rebuild the engine for about $2,000 Cdn.

Have a 2002 I use for work it is now turning 258,000 miles with just regular maintenence and minor replacement of parts that wear out and this car is still running strong very impressed.

Sorry to report that at 285k miles I replaced my engine with one from a 99 with approx 93k miles. Running well but now tranny seems to be failing, I have to stop this bleeding sooner or later next thing it may be the A/C or who knows what I may have to cut my loses and bail out , but what to get? I don't wanna blow big $ on a new one, and used is kind of a gamble :
