Used Toyota Corolla for Sale in Houston, TX

I inherited this car from my parents when I went off to college. Prior to that, we drove the car for about twelve years with no problems. It led us through several cross country road trips, four moves, years of grocery shopping, and several more of commuting. The entire time, we have not had one problem with it. It was one of the most cost effective purchases I think my parents ever made. We spent about 9000 dollars on the car, and other than scheduled maintenance and gas, we have not spend one penny more than we had to. Only recently, have the car suffered some minor problems from age, such as a burnt out headlight bulb, broken A/C, or aged windshield wipers. However the repairs were very cheap and for that, I can see myself driving this car for at least another 5 years.

My 2005 Toyota Corolla SE has tons of features and attributes that I love. It's simple yet sturdy design, quality features like its interior wood grain trim, ice-cold ac unit, and radio along with its comfy fabric seats make the experience of driving so much better. Above all, the reliability and reputation of Toyota Corollas certainly shines through in my personal car, as I have not had any major mechanical issues with it since purchase, even though the vehicle has 157k + miles on it. Because of this, my Corolla has been used as relatively affordable, first-timer car for my youngest daughter. The fuel economy is excellent, and I can easily make it through a week without having to fill up my gas tank. My only qualms about this car is that there is a minor defect with the electrical system, making the headlights stay on even if they have been "turned off". Also, at times it feels like space in the car is limited (especially when my whole family of five is traveling in it) and that the technology(i.e. radio system ) is a little outdated.
