To determine the engine type of a specific used Corolla, you need to check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN, located on the driver's side dashboard or door jamb, contains information about the car's specifications, including the engine size.
You can also use online resources like Carfax or AutoCheck or consult with a Toyota dealership to obtain the specific information about a used Corolla's engine configuration.
