  1. May Blue be solid for decades to come.

  2. Agree, strength in numbers works. In my country, Corolla is widely used as taxi, in my thinking, 90% of the shops around should be acutely knowledgeable on this model. End result, still driving.a 13 year-old Corolla.

  3. A/C compressor is not cheap man, we're talking the original part. Try to scan for codes, it's common to have the flow sensor error for this generation, and the fix could be bought for 10$ - Flow sensor. Also, could be you are low on refrigerant, or the evap coil is dirty.

  4.  @Zachery_  Indeed, learned it the hard way. So now, I always try to revert to the dealer for serious work.

  5. Why not let the dealer handle this? I don't think it's gonna be expensive since you're more or less buying the fluids from them.

  6. If you're ok with either, take them both to your trusted mechanic, or a reputable one, and have them do the inspection as if you're going to have all the issues fixed. They will give you sort of a bill of health, you will decide from thereon. It's hard to judge cars based on mileage and year, because I myself drive a 13 year old car, but maintenance is always on sked, always genuine parts. Also, try to consider that for older cars, parts can be hard to find. If this is going to be your additional car, it's fine, we need to fulfill our hearts as well. But if it's going to be your daily driver, it's not advisable because you might have no car for weeks while waiting for parts. Nevertheless, Lexus IS cars are very nice, I will pick ES though.
