Would it be hard to find a toyota corolla between 1993 and 1997 in perfect condition?

I love these old cars and i currently have one but it's falling apart from rust. it's obviously not worth restoring. Would it be hard to find one of these in perfect condition without rust and low mileage?

    Try Geo Prism. They are same as Toyota Corolla. There is few excellence shape for less because people didn't know it's actually Toyota but rebadged it as Geo.

    Depends on where you live. Here in So Cal, I still see them driving around . I would think that if you're in milder climates, they should be easy to find. If you're in colder areas, these can rust badly from road salt...Same as living along the coast due to salt air. To be in perfect condition would mean you're likely buying from an older person who drove very little and it was garage kept. They are out there but not easy to find due to age. Many of those have been bought by people who daily drive them. By the way, that is the best vintage in terms of quality and reliability in my opinion.

    Toyota's last a long time but to find a 25-30 year old car in perfect condition is impossible.

    Hard? Yes, but not impossible. I found a one-owner rust-free  '93 5speed manual with barely 110,000 miles on it that runs like a dream. The stick makes it fun to drive. It's only drawback is some hail dents and sun fading, but for $1500 it's an awesome little car that ought to go another fifteen years without even trying. Want to buy it? come to Phoenix. $2000 and it's yours. Put another two grand into cosmetics and it would be a keeper as good as one less than ten years old.

    Plenty of them in junkyards without engines or transmissions.  Good luck.

    Go to Florida or Arizona and look around for one. No rust in those states.

    Low mileage is a lot to ask and it doesn't even insure a car has been kept up with. I looked at an s10 with 60,000 miles on it a few years ago and nobody had changed a single bit of the fluids they drove it for awhile and kept it in a garage for almost 20 years and everything was just so gummed up from sitting around. Just look for one with no rust and a good history of repairs and just  fix anything that is going wrong with it

    very hard there would be one or 2 or them sitting in grandmas shed some where but most would be worn out or rusted out seen some that sat in the weather for 20 years hardly driven everything was rusty, others worn out motors and gearboxes no  rust
