Get a used Corolla. I have a 2019 Corolla I bought new that year. It was the last model before the refresh. No issues with it whatsoever ever and should last them a while

I think non hybrids.

They will still steal the secondary cat though.

Your public library might have it. Also look at their databases. I am head of IT for one and we subscribe to prodemand. It’s in library use only but has all the stuff these car repair books have.

IF it is your property then get her towed. If you just live there and it is their house your stuck.

Just keep the outback for now. Then reassess when the refresh of the RAV4 comes out.
