Owner's Pitch
"Reliable 2015 Toyota Corolla L project car. Engine runs and drives great with a proven 1.8L powertrain. Perfect opportunity for a mechanic or body shop professional to gain sweat equity. Passing smog already. Sold as-is, this is the lowest-priced 2015 Corolla in the region, offering significant upside once body work is completed."

Description
Overview: Selling a 2015 Toyota Corolla L that remains mechanically reliable and drivable. While it has higher mileage and a salvage history, the car continues to run and drive well, demonstrating Toyota's build quality.
Condition and History: This vehicle was previously declared a total loss and currently carries a salvage title. It is not currently registered and requires body repairs to pass the mandatory brake and lamp inspection for road legality.
Important Notes: The car has successfully passed its smog test. Please note that the buyer is responsible for all past-due DMV fees and required body work. Estimated repair costs are approximately $3,000, though this may vary by shop. Sold as-is.
Market Highlights
- The Reliability Premium: The 2015 Corolla remains a staple of the Southern California used market. Even with 200,845 miles, the 1.8L engine is known for longevity that can exceed 300,000 miles, making this a viable 'forever' commuter if the cosmetic and registration hurdles are cleared.
- The Riverside Project Market: In Inland Empire markets like Riverside, there is a high density of independent mechanics and body shops. This creates a strong floor for running Toyotas, even with salvage titles, as they serve as high-margin 'flip' candidates for those with low-cost labor.
- Value Proposition: At a $1,500 entry price, the vehicle is priced near its mechanical parts value. This makes it an attractive high-risk, high-reward purchase for a buyer who can navigate the salvage reconstruction process for under the quoted $3,000 repair cost.
