Rear ended???

Nah I'd say just parking damage. Probably a terrible learner driver

Mileage is easy enough to find out if it is 123k or 23k (based on previous NCT reports)

No timing belt, ancient engine, but reliable

Good driver

Bargain...





...for another terrible learner driver :pac:

How can you tell from the pics?

It just doesn't look fresh enough to be a a 23k mile car.

People may argue that unpainted bumpers fade with age, but those ones still look like they've been on a car that has driven at least 100k miles.

To show us they were not rear-ended but did the damage themselves while parking?

what you got and what are you looking for?

It's a Toyota Corolla 1994 Saloon.
NCT till March 2013, 76,580 miles on the clock.
Looking for something nice upto 1.6, bangernomics would be preferred.
Here's a pic of the Corolla:

Not the cheapest Porsche around but a bargain alright unless there are any nasty hidden surprizes.

True, there is always that chance somthing funny is going on that you wont be told about. I think it's worth a look though with the approval of a specialist you could have alot of flash there, I'd love to drive that thing home for a little under 5k

That corolla seems like bangernomics in its own right! what's wrong with it?

commited

Not as cheap as normal bangernomics but definitely representing great VFM for a 9 year old 3 series:

02 325i, 137k, manual, leather, 1900. No cruise control but a really easy retrofit.
The 2.5 is a sweet engine and good economy is easily possible with the manual box.

I'm just too embarassed to drive it to school while it's parked among an Altezza and a Type R Civic.

Aren't you grand and well about your car choice? Most of us had to walk or cycle to school before the country ever had money. Only one guy had a car when I was in school and that was only because his parents were flush.

You kids don't know you're born.

Being embarrassed? Ah come on! If there is nothing wrong with a car, why change it? Altezza's are naff and Type R's are for robbing stuff. :P

Joking aside, if you wanna change just for keeping up appearances, I think you're not doing it right. At any rate there was a grand enough Golf GTi Mk3 here around a week ago that had fsh and would do you grand. If it's still around perhaps consider that? I dunno, I'm hungover and can't think car at the moment.

Damnit. It was a boarding school. Surely there was something going on with one or two of them though.

i would say this would come a lot cheaper than the 995 e asking price, with all that NCT should be worth a punt .

might even do Rusty Racer for the school run:pac::pac:

I'm only a secondary School kid.
Them kids with Altezza and Ek9 are from good families. As we speak, the Civic is being rebuilt.

Jaysus, I'd be lucky if my father would've lent me his car one day a month until I got my own clapped out 1992 Peugeot 106!!

If you can manage it fair play, but don't put yourself under pressure at this stage of your young life!

He's doing it wrong then.

I got two years out of a 500 Euro accourd and a clutch change.

But then again I do my own work.

Icyseanfitz

oh most definitely, most of the cars where working grand, he just wanted to change them :rolleyes: his current colt is a pos but it gets him from a to b sure and its not a pain in the ass to tax and insure
