A buyer's checks

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The figures, translated

The 1.8L 4-cylinder does the work, through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.5 L/100 km. At our price setting, it costs about $11.63 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

What to expect from the Corolla

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Corolla for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Corolla is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
