This 1995 Toyota Corolla LE is a low mileage example of the world’s best-selling vehicle. With just one owner from new and only 15,800 miles, this ubiquitous sedan is ready to be enjoyed as a collector car, commuter or as a road trip vehicle.
This specific Corolla LE, vin number 2T1AE00B9SC100503, is a part of Toyota’s 7th generation of Corolla; also called chassis “E100.” Originally purchased new in Maryland, the car remained with its original owner until her passing in 2021. The exterior of the Corolla is in good shape with all body panels believed to be original to the car; some signs of age are prevalent, but paintless dent removal would be able to remove these age blemishes. There is no rust on the car’s body or undercarriage and no signs of previous rust repair are evident. The Corolla wears Sunfire Red Pearl paint and has been repainted once; the paint presents very well with no scratching or deterioration of the clear coat. The great undercarriage condition of this utilitarian vehicle is evidence to how seldomly the original owner drove the car during her nearly 26 years of stewardship. The Corolla’s glass is in great shape with no chips, scratches or cracks. All four electric windows, and specially optioned factory sunroof, operate perfectly. The Corolla wears its original 14-inch aluminum wheels, now with new Cooper Evolution Tour tires.
Having traveled just under 15,800 miles so far, the interior of the Corolla is in like-new condition and presents very well. Outfitted with Shadow Gray Cloth interior, the front bucket seats and rear 60/40 bench seat show no signs of age. There are no rips or tears in the cloth and there is no degradation of the interior seat foam. Interior trim is in great condition with a solid dashboard and no scratches or sun fading to plastic components. All four interior door handles were replaced due to cracks, a very common problem with these cars; the original handles will accompany the car. Gray carpet runs the length of the cabin as well does the gray headliner, which shows no age and is still evenly adhered to the ceiling. The Corolla still features its original, factory optioned, Deluxe ETR head unit with cassette deck and 4-speaker stereo system that functions perfectly. With surprisingly good leg room and comfortable seats, the Corolla is an ideal candidate for a long-haul road trip vehicle.
While operating the Corolla, each gauge functions properly and each has a clean face. Buttons and switches feel sturdy and show no signs of rough-use or delicacy due to age. Power windows, sunroof, windshield wipers, radio and power door locks all work well. The Corolla’s heater and A/C function perfectly. The Corolla is also equipped with cruise-control, which functions as it should.
The Corolla is equipped with a naturally aspirated 1.8L, twin-cam four-cylinder engine with EFI and is matted to a four-speed automatic transmission; power is sent to the front wheels. The powertrain of this Corolla is all original and there are no modifications from new. Not meant to be a performance car by any means, the peppy four-cylinder runs stout with no leaks and offers comfortable acceleration and smooth shifting. The car pulls well in all four gears and reverse without any hesitation. With power steering and independent four-wheel MacPherson strut suspension, handling is relaxing and smooth. Front disc brakes and rear drums work to stop the Corolla. Recent servicing includes: cooling system and transmission fluid flush, oil change, new fuel filter and new front driveshafts to replace the cracked rubber boots on the originals. Life on the front and rear brakes are still substantial.
With just over 44 million Corollas produced between all generations, these cars were meant to be used and abused. The opportunity to own an excellent, near-original, practically new, 26-year-old example of the world’s most iconic automobile is unique. A perfect vehicle for a Marque collector or for a family to take on road trips, this Corolla is being offered at $8900. Clean Car Fax and Auto Check available. Included with the sale is an owner’s manual with supplementary documents, original sales brochure and Haynes manual.
