Asked by GenieT Jan 28, 2014 at 08:51 PM about the 1989 Toyota Corolla

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I don't want to sell the car.  It's been well maintained, by a Toyota specialist shop,
since I bought it in '95 with 78,500 mi. (in "cream puff condition per my mechanic).  
The shop has all the records.  It still gets 35 or more mpg on the highway, ca. 22 in
town (if I have to do any significant amount of idling).  Brakes are good, body is good,
with some minor denting of driver side front fender.  Windshield was replaced last year
and is in mint condition.   All the electrical parts work fine. It's a very reliable car and I
don't plan on selling it soon, but I need to know the blue book value for insurance
purposes.
