  6. 2010 Toyota Corolla or 2014 Toyota Corolla The 2014 Toyota Corolla was not that much more to finance on a yearly basis. The expenses for fuel, insurance and repairs would also be very similar. However, it would take longer to pay off the 2014 Toyota Corolla than it would to pay off the 2010 Toyota Corolla. Although it would be nice to be able to select the options that I would want in my brand new Toyota Corolla, it would not be logical to invest in a new car that is going to depreciate the second that it comes off the lot. It is for these reasons that I would select the used Toyota Corolla.
