Noticed that Toyota Corolla is costier as compare to other mid-range vehicles of the same year, also notice that the color fades with time(let's say a year after purchase), is it that majority are salvage or accidented vehicle??

It's famed fuel economy, durability and maintenance is why it commands quite some reasonable second hand value which is one of d major reasons why it's still priced reasonably higher than others.. As for d fading part, it is poor paint jobs dats mostly responsible meaning dey've had some form of work done on d vehicle

I've wondered same. A 2005 Nigerian used is still priced between 1.2-1.6m. A colleague bought a Nigerian used Corolla 04 in 2017 for 1.2 million today he's reselling same at 1.35.

Are there no alternatives to a Corolla?

Low fuel consumption, cheap parts and the durability.

That's why.

The higher the demand, the higher the price.

I'm not sure, original company paint don't fade easily, I've seen some other brands which are older
