Toyota Corolla is among the best of the compact sedans: reliable and economical yet refined and comfortable.
Toyota Corolla comes in one body style, a four-door sedan. The Corolla CE, S, and LE come with a 126-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. The Corolla XRS gets a 164-horsepower engine. Side-impact airbags and curtain airbags are optional on most models. Anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution is an optional; ABS helps the driver maintain steering control in an emergency braking situation, while EBD helps maintain full braking pressure even if the driver makes the mistake of relaxing pedal pressure. Optional Vehicle Stability Control helps the driver maintain control in corners by compensating for skids.
The Toyota Corolla is a carryover from 2005.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Toyota Corolla, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Toyota Corolla for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Toyota Corolla was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Toyota Corolla is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Toyota Corolla will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Toyota Corolla is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
