Used Toyota Corolla for Sale in Metairie, LA

Being an older car, there are several cons associated with ownership. Many repairs need to be done in order to keep it performing well. These repair and maintenance visits can become costly as the vehicle ages further. While having a four-cylinder vehicle might be great for gas mileage, one really notices the lack of power when the car is on the interstate or a steep incline. Its appearance is a turn off for many customers with its boxy design. It lacks many of the luxuries and comforts of a modern vehicle. The electrical system is very rudimentary, lacking many of the features one needs out of an automobile in this day and age, such as GPS, USB charging, cameras, and heated/cooled seats. The upholstery is rigid and uncomfortable, difficult to cope with even with additional padding and coverings. The car lacks other amenities that are important to today’s consumers, such as power locks, power windows, and keyless entry. This can make the car’s operation much more difficult, especially when the driver is alone. A smaller car; there’s not much room inside for many passengers or the ability to tow items.

The vehicle that I have is the base model: manual locks, hand-roll-down windows, CD player and radio only, plain upholstered interior. There is nothing flashy about the car, and at 12 years old, it is starting to show it's age. My biggest drawback with this car is actually a mere cosmetic issue, whether it was a combination of living in the humid south and then the icy mid-west, the paint on the roof began chipping off in large flakes about 4 years ago. I have repaired it myself with auto body paint, but it has begun to flake again recently. I plan on having to repaint it again soon.
