1991 Toyota Corolla Dlx All Trac Wagon Automatic W/overdrive Clean! on 2040-cars

You are purchasing a RARE 1991 Toyota Corolla DX All-Trac wagon. I would drive this car anywhere without hesitation. Click on the AutoCheck link for full history. I am the 3rd owner in 23 years: NO wrecks, clean title, mileage checks out.

I looked for an All-Trac wagon w/auto trans/overdrive (rare) for several years before I found this car from Jay Johnson Toyota, Bristol TN in 2005 with 107,000 miles. It now has 188,996 miles. The majority of the miles I put on the car are highway miles on I-77 and I-40. I am a musician so I bought the car to carry my guitars and amps to gigs, practices, auditions, studio work etc. I live about 1.5 hrs away from most of the places I play so this car has to get me there and home safely. It has never let me down. It is reliable, roomy, runs strong, gets about 30mpg on interstates (cruises at 70-75 mph no problem with power to spare), 25 mpg around town. One reason that this car has been so reliable is all the money I have spent on professional repairs for any problem that occurs asap.

In addition to a regular oil change every 3,000 miles and tire balancing/rotation about every 6,000 miles, here is a list of repairs, new parts, work etc. that has been done to the car since I have owned it. 

I have receipts for most if not all of this work and will be included for new owner.

Professional upgrade polyurethane paint job by Maaco in 07, repainted (original Toyota factory paint code 1991) red with some rust repair and pin striping.

Plugs about 10k ago

New struts on front shocks on back about 50k ago

New Pioneer CD/am/fm radio mp3 player w/ 4 new speakers 2 years old

Latest set of tires are good for at least another 15-20K

I totaled up the receipts that I could find and got about $5,946.11 which does not include all oil changes and tires over the last 9 years. The receipts all have some form of repair/parts replacement/labor /paint costs etc. for the car. I will include the receipts, window sticker/sales documentation from Jay Johnson Toyota in 2005 with the car along with the original owners manual. I can't find my receipt for the Pioneer CD/AM/FM/mp3 player and 4 speakers but that was close to $300 with installation.

The car starts, runs, drives great but some work will be needed in the future for the car to drive it’s best, which is how it has been maintained while I have owned it. The new owner should address or be aware of these items:

• Exhaust has developed a small blow. Not bad but noticeable at or below 30 mph. Once you get above that it is not as noticeable but I would have it repaired if I were going to keep the car.
• Tires need balancing, there is a vibration about 30 mph but it immediately smooths out from 35 on up. A good balance should correct this and it is about due for an alignment check.
• The battery is 3-4 years old. Works well now but will need replacing soon to be safe
• AC worked great but It was diagnosed with a freon leak. About 2 years ago the mechanic I use put some dye in the system to see where it leaks. The air blew cold until about the end of last summer and so I never got the guy to find the leak and repair it. Get that done and the air is fine. Or just fill it with freon and it is good for about 1.5 years.
• Blower for heat and air only works as it should on position 2 and 4  but it works well enough so that I never felt the need to get it fixed.
• Drivers seat is worn around the vinyl sides (see pic of tape on drivers side). It has just perished over time. The seating surface of the seat is fine but the sides need to be repaired.
• Interior light bulb needs replacing.
• Rust You can see the pics of rust and that is a common problem with these cars. Fix the places or just drive it another 100K 
• Various marks and scuffs on the interior but nothing horrible. Seats are not torn or stained. When I bought the car there was a burn on the passenger side door card. I do not smoke so this car has not been smoked in the 9 years I have owned it. Carpets good.
• Tiny crack on the dash on passenger side 1/4 in. (On the front interior pic you can select/magnify the pic to see the small crack on dash and the burn on the door)
• Paint is still shiny as I have kept it waxed since the repaint in 07 but it is not perfect with some fading on the hood and an assortment of dings, scuffs, chips and a dent in the rear passenger side quarter panel that could be pulled out I have been told by a body man. The car looks great from about 20 feet but on close inspection the imperfections are evident.
• Brakes are still good but could use a brake inspection within the next 6 months just to be on the safe side.
• This car is not loaded with convenience options. No power windows, locks, cruise,etc. Cigarette lighter works so you can charge your phone or use gps.

This is a good car. I have always maintained it well and it has been garaged since I have owned it. Because the car was garaged I made sure any water/oil/gas leaks were repaired. I do not like to see a leak on my garage floor so the car as of today does not leak fluids. The heater is the best I have ever had in a car. You will stay warm in this car. Tracks well down the road. Excellent power for a 4 cylinder once you get up to speed. The work on the head noticeably increased the power.

I have the seats folded down most of the time to haul guitars/amps etc. but there is plenty of room for 4 adults in this car with cargo space behind the hatch. 

Think a family of four with a load of groceries in the back.

This car has saved me several times in bad weather. The Toyota All-Trac all wheel drive will get you home. This winter with 20 inches of heavy, wet snow that my neighbors had difficulty getting out with their SUV’s this Corolla wagon barely slipped, going anywhere I needed to go. In bad rain storms this car holds the pavement very well going up and down hills etc.

I already regret selling this wagon but I have a new commuter music vehicle so my loyal friend must find a new home. 

A bonus for you is a NOS set of factory Toyota Corolla wheel covers from this model. I had just put the present ones on (nothing wrong with them) when I saw these NOS caps on ebay. They were not cheap but I will include the caps with the sale of the car.
