<prompt> Human: Looking for a beater to get me from point A to point B safely and with little headache on long term maintenance. Any feedback from others who have personally gone this route in order to free up more money for debts and savings is welcome! Assistant: Used Toyota Corolla. The lower the mileage the better, but frankly a Corolla with 100K miles on it is a Corolla that probably has a crap-ton more miles left in it.Human: Thank you! I know Toyotas have tons of life in them. I had a used 4Runner years back that lasted nearly a decade.  <response>: In 2006 I bought a 2002 Corolla with 60,000 miles on it. Its still going strong with 250,000 miles with just routine maintenance and replacing the starter. Its hard to go wrong with a Corolla if you want cheap and reliable.
