Carfax Check

Hey guys, I have been looking really hard for the past 4 years to find a 9th gen corolla S in white with extremely low miles. I have found one with only 13k and its a 2005.

It looks in amazing condition and I want to see if it is legit and have no bad history. One red flag is, that he is selling it for $8,000. Thats a bit low, IMO.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me out.

thanks

Blue book on a 2005 Corolla S is $6000 in excellent condition with "average" mileage. As you say this has 13k that would be way below the average. All things considered it does not seem to be a "bit low" at $8K at all. Might even be a tad high even when considering the low miles.

I'm more curious of why you've been looking for a 9th gen corolla for four years.

Ya, I had originally wrote:
I did not think I would ever read the sentence " I have been looking really hard for the past 4 years to find a 9th gen corolla S"


But decided to be nice and not say it!


But... since you opened that door...

No where near the 13K miles the OP reported either.. ~13k/year...

SON OF F'ING BITCH!!!

this is BS. Good thing i didnt get my hopes up.

i had a feeling it didnt have 13k miles.



for those asking why i have been looking for a white 9thgen corolla with low miles in the past 4 years, is because i got in a car accident 4 years ago and my corolla got totaled, I was extremely attached to it. Hell, I considered that car to be my child.

4 years later, i still think about it.

here is the link of the ad.

Looks like somebody missed a 0 when entering mileage. Doubt it was intended to deceive as it would be pretty obvious when you looked at the car.
Doubt you will find one with that low mileage as nobody bought a Corolla of any trim level, parked it and said "I will hold this till it is worth big bucks".
