Choosing a Certified Pre-Owned Toyota Corolla

Jun 15, 2015

A certified Toyota Corolla in Waukegan is a good bet if you’re looking for a vehicle that is both affordable and reliable. All certified pre-owned Toyota cars come with a two month / 12,000 mile comprehensive warranty and a seven year / 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, plus a full year of free roadside assistance. Every certified pre-owned model has been through a thorough safety inspection and has a CARFAX vehicle history report.

A certified Toyota Corolla is certainly a good deal, but which model year should you choose? Here’s a guide to recent changes for the compact Toyota sedan.

2014 Toyota Corolla: If you want as close to new as you can get, the 2014 Toyota Corolla was fully redesigned for the current generation. The styling is edgier, there are more features, and fuel economy has been improved. 2014 Toyota Corolla LE Eco trims can get as high as 42 mpg highway.
2013 Toyota Corolla: Though the last model year of the previous generation, the 2013 Toyota Corolla still provides a solid driving experience. This year featured an improved sound system with touchscreen controls for higher trims, a new grille, and some Special Edition color options.
2012 Toyota Corolla: Power accessories became standard as the base level this year, and these models also gained a better sound system. Modern features like navigation and Bluetooth connectivity were available during this model year.
2011 Toyota Corolla: This year the model received a reconditioned exterior with some interior improvements as well. Toyota also dropped the number of trims from five to three, which should make it easier to find the features you want.
