Old faithful

I AM a student looking to buy my first car and I'm interested in Toyota Corollas because of their reliability. I'm interested in a 1998 model that is roadworthy, has new tyres, but has done 213,000km. Should I steer clear of a car with so many kilometres on it, and what problems could arise?

YOU'RE right to look at Toyotas for their renowned reliability. The car has average kilometres for a 10-year-old model. If it's in good condition, is safe, and has been well serviced, then consider it. Old Toyotas tend to battle on if they've been well looked after.
