Worth It Or Not? by Kanoski(op):
So I went car shoping today.

N I can across this 03 corolla

Obvious things I noticed is that brake fluid is is licking, they just changed the master brake cylinder though.

Radiator is running on ordinary water,

Car is not 1st body,
Car vibrates a little when AC is on but the AC is mortuary standard..
Shocks are okay n tires are just fine..

No check engine light though n milage is 197900.
What are you thoughts on this please.

Also owner want to sale 4 1.2m Bt am standing on 1.1m

No serious oil leakage

I see minor repairs...
The only major is the master cylinder that was changed....probably it was poorly installed

At that mileage am surprised no MIL. Which us possible but very rare.
Again check the oil level? If it on the line or prolly consuming oil. Also drive for a very long time with the car
