What Toyota Corolla years have interchangeable parts?

Body panels: Fenders, doors, hoods, trunk lids, bumper covers
Headlights and taillights: Direct swap within the generation (watch for facelift differences within E170)
Interior components: Seats, door panels, dashboard trim, window switches
Suspension: Struts, springs, control arms, sway bars, tie rods
Electrical: Window regulators, door lock actuators, wiper motors, mirror assemblies

Parts interchange within each generation: E120 (2003-2008), E140/E150 (2009-2013), E170/E180 (2014-2019), E210 (2020-2024). Some engine components cross between the E140 and E170 since both use the 2ZR engine family.

What are the best Corolla parts to pull at a junkyard?

Headlights ($50-$150), alternators ($40-$80), starters ($30-$60), strut assemblies ($40-$100), window regulators ($25-$50), and side mirrors ($30-$75). The 1.8L engine itself is worth $400-$1,200 for a low-mileage pull.

Do Corolla and Matrix parts interchange?

Yes. The Toyota Matrix (2003-2013) and Pontiac Vibe (2003-2010) share the Corolla platform and engines. Mechanical parts interchange directly, though body panels are different.
