You should see our Toyota, Corolla. I think it's a '97 and I think it's around 10k as well and is a weekend car, too. My car is the 3rd car. The Corolla is the 2nd car. Our Tercel is the main car and is the last model made, '93 or '94? That sucker is over 100k and almost into 200k, I think. I do not use those cars, so I'm not sure on the exact date and milage. Also, living on a small island does not really help on the mileage. I think our cars get some abuse here with the short distance stop and go traffic day in and out. The hot, humid weather here does not help either.
Why did I buy her? Because I knew I'd refuse to drive even if I had a license. This way, I'm forced to drive at least every weekend in my own car instead of borrowing a car everytime. Buying a new car? It was cheap and nice looking, nuff said. It's more of a convienence car as well.
