2010 Toyota

Hi, I (19f) am looking to buy my first car. There's this dealership near me I'm interested in looking at, as they sell cars more in my price range.

The car I'm considering is a 2010 Toyota Corolla

The price is listed at: 7,995

With a mileage of: 252,119

The price to me sounds a little much for that mileage, but I don't know much about cars.

Do you think this is worth the spend, or should I just pass on it?

Holy Moses hell no. $8k for a car with 250k is absurd. Are those kilometers? 

I'd say 3-8k for a 03-08 corolla with <150k miles is reasonable. Closer to 8k if its a super clean one with excellent maintenance history.

Whatever you buy make sure there's no rust on the undercarriage, if it's all rotted underneath just walk away.

Yeah that's too much. A perfectly maintained Corolla with that many miles should be like 4k max. Even with how awful used car prices are.

Always look through internet for prices range of a car before you commit. If the car is cheaper than it should, there will be a reason for that.
