Used 2008 Toyota Corolla for Sale near Chicago, IL

The 2008 Toyota Corolla is a great older car that is capable of running for several hundred thousand miles if it’s well maintained (change the oil twice as often as recommended, which you should do with ANY car). It has the proven 1.8L 1ZZ-FE engine that just keeps going and going. With a timing chain, you don’t have to worry about changing a timing belt at a specific mileage. These cars aren’t real easy to find because people tend to hang onto them, but if you do, they can be an excellent daily driver.

The car is very powerful and has a good braking system based on hydrolic the handling is perfect .It has never gotten a mojor accident the interior and exterior are still in good state i have never smoked inside.I bought the car new and it has been in good usage.

I bought my 2008 Toyota Corolla LE in 2018 and am still thrilled with it in 2023. Gives great milage, is comfortable, I enjoy driving it, and has needed very few repairs. I drove it from Minnesota to California and back and had a wonderful time driving it. I expect it to last for a long, long time as I keep up with its scheduled maintenance. I love this car.

I love this car!! I even got 45 miles to the gallon once. The color is great and the wood grain is soothing. I've taken it camping, and even I can carry all I need.

The Toyota Corolla is normally billed as the most boring car you could buy. In some ways that is true, its never been an outstanding car and whatever it does well will be defeated next year since it only does well in categories like fuel economy, reliability, etc. Now this version of the Corolla, the 2003-2008 version, has been largely ignored by most auto enthusiasts. I don't feel that this particular car is deserving of the most boring title, I believe that's better suited to the Corolla that replaced this one. To drive, this Corolla made do with only 128 hp so it wasn't exactly that fast. Handling...it wasn't too good since the Corolla had quite a lot of body roll due to its soft suspension. However this Corolla does have proper steering feel something Toyota has not done well with lately especially with the new one. There are moments where you could have some mild fun, although the XRS is the one to get if this is your thing. The interior in this car is nicely coloured and styled modestly. The plastics on this car range from quite cheap to decent, I don't think they're as bad as certain cars. Although the lack of much metal is one thing this Corolla doesn't address. Build quality from Cambridge Ontario has been very good. Despite seeing several trashed Corollas with 60,000 kms, none have fallen apart or lost any pieces. I actually consider this car a better car than the one that replaces it. Its a shame this version has to live with the most boring exterior designs in the auto industry.
