Might be selling my daughter's car and buying a friend's FX35 for her, trying to figure out what to ask for the Corolla and offer for the FX.

2013 Corolla LE (unfortunately an auto) w/ 250K miles. Single family owned (my grandmother bought it, dad commuted in it for years after she passed, then my daughter got it a few months ago) with good maintenance (documented in a notepad)


The FX35 is a 2013 with 205K miles. Good shape w/ dealer maintenance and I believe it's the lower 2wd model.

I'd keep the Corolla, you know it's entire life and maintenance history.

I want to get her in something a little bigger as she will be driving between Galveston and CS a lot along with other places.

Forgot to mention, FX was bought at a year old by a good friend with regular dealer maintenance that I'm sure he'd provide.

I wouldn't trust an Infiniti with over 200k miles even if dealer maintained. To be fair, I valued an EX not an FX. So honestly the FX and the Corolla are functionally equal in price.

I don't think the FX a would be any safer on i45 than the Corolla. In fact, when you factor in the potiential for the CVT to fall out I would wager the Corolla is actually better for that.

Pretty sure the FX doesn't have a CVT.

MPGs on the corolla are surely much better than the FX

Try this to get an idea.....

And the FX will require premium fuel

Drumboy, I might be interested in the Toyota if this deal pans out for you. I'm needing a 2 hour commuter for a few trips a week.

No car is safe sitting on the shoulder of i45
