Do you have a special talent, something you can do better than anything else? This outstanding talent has long been building the 911 for German automaker Porsche. Other models come and go, but the 911 is so well planned it’s here to stay.
The 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera We saw each other on Friday and appeared to be a loyal member of this long-standing family. It had many kilometers under its belt and a sheet of vinyl covered most of its body. Both elements factored into the seller’s asking price of $15,000. Both also factored in the extraordinarily narrow 52 percent Nice Price win the car received in our vote. By the way, making smart decisions about the cars we’re considering is a talent and I think you all own it.
Speaking of talent, Toyota has done a damn good job as an automaker over the past few years. The company is vying with Volkswagen for the title as the leader in car production while delivering some wild (Corolla GR) and odd (not-so-royal Crown) products.

Of course, Toyota did not build its reputation on its products themselves, but on the quality of those products, which was unmatched for a long time. The Corolla line has long been a good example of this. The small sedans, coupes and station wagons, generally not overly exciting or innovative, became the backbone of the Toyota lineup because of their relentless value and reliability.
Today 1993 Toyota Corolla Wagon tries to add some whimsy to this mix and maybe put a smile on the faces of all who see it.
According to the ad, the seller bought this car for his new sister. However, this sister’s reaction after giving birth was to get herself a brand new SUV. I don’t know about you, but if I were a brand new baby I’d rather be driving around in this fancy and expressive art car than a boring old SUV.
The seller doesn’t say who decided to use this Corolla as a canvas, but the multicolored mural looks both eye-catching and professionally done. The artist’s name is on the rear fender, but it’s just not legible in the ad. Hopefully the next owner doesn’t mind the ad.
The next owner will apparently be the third of the car. The first of them has credited the car with over 227,000 miles, while the seller, who is the second owner, claims to have added only about 1,200 of the car’s current 229,234 miles. Complete maintenance records of mileage are included with the car.
Apart from the unique paintwork that you never lose in the parking lot, the car is also well equipped. It’s rare to find a gear stick in a small station wagon, but that’s exactly what this car has. This five-speed manual gearbox is mated to a 1.8-liter 7A-FE SOHC in-line four. Installed transversely and with drive on the front wheels, this results in 115 hp and just as much torque.
As you’d expect from a ’90s Toyota, the seller says this car “never causes problems.” However, they note that they have “updated and pre-fixed things” to keep it that way.
As well as the promised mechanical condition, the interior appears to be in fantastic condition for its age and mileage. The cloth upholstery looks clean and apart from some obvious wear and tear on the steering wheel and gear knob everything else seems to be fine. The only major gripe here is the Toyota designers’ odd decision to have the engine temperature and fuel gauges read with the same swing, rather than the more aesthetically pleasing counter-sweep. Wow, this is going to annoy me all day.
Honestly, that’s pretty much the only annoying part of this whole car. The great paintwork and bodywork underneath appear to be in good condition and it should show that there are still plenty of kilometers to go despite the hard wear the odometer has already put through. A clean title and the seller’s kind hope that we all have a nice day are just extra smiles this car brings. Let’s see if the $3,799 price tag does the same.
What do you say, is this Corolla art car worth what it looks like? Or is that too much money for something that stands out from the crowd?
