Seeking other viewpoints about used cars

We have an '05 Corolla with about 125k on the odometer. We got probably 50k or so on it since we've had it, with zero issues. Originally bought it as a shitbox commuter car (mid to high 30's on the highway mpg).
Nothing really spectacular about it, but let's face it; it's a Corolla.

Thank you for the replies. I talked to someone at a credit union today and they said I'd be able to get a loan no problem. The only negative is that it would be 14.4 %. However, with a cosigner it would be 4.2%, and lucky for me I have someone willing to help out. Unfortunately, their special 1.4% rate just ended, and it won't be for another 6 months for it to come into play again.

All in all, that expands my search radius vastly. I'm still sitting on that Mazda 3, but if I can't talk them down enough it won't matter as much to me.
