You would have to wonder if any of the vast majority of the sellers on Donedeal done English at post primary school level. I'll be the first to admit my own written English is not always perfect but the appalling grammar and punctuation on Donedeal brings it away down to a whole new level.

Car looks very tarted up to me, I don't like them too tarted up. So is it a "2 litre on da book" as they say? Oddly Motorcheck is showing it as a Toyota Celsior 4.3 but is showing engine CC as 1997.

I'd hazard a guess at an IS200 engine number being given or something

Fresh test and a fiver change from €10k

A lot of car for the money

The gear lever though :-o

I remember Clarkson or someone on Top Gear.... making fun of it.

Lovely looking car .... But as others have mentioned....repair bills would keep you awake at night

I have no connection to this car. I saw this on one of the private Facebook groups and thought it was too good not to post. Jap Corolla for €1500. Unsure of tax and nct. Few months to vintage. You can’t lose money. PM if you want the link.

That’s the job!

Classic in a few months. Has to be worth €3k.
Has to be a catch?

Price without the wheels and engine maybe. There similar stuff up for 5k these days.

I caved in and messaged him. I need to know the story now. If it is indeed €1500 I’ll use my last day of freedom to go and get that.

When you see the price of the likes of this, it's very cheap.

On a side note. I wonder are the distant photos of the Bluebird intentional? My father had one of those from new and after only 2 years two doors were rotting in rust, just below the window frames. Nissan replaced the doors under warranty but about a year and a half later rust was starting to bubble up again in the same spot. I learnt to drive in that Bluebird but the engine wouldn't pull the skin off a sausage, it was chronically slow even for the time.

Are you sure that’s for sale? Is it not just a post showing off a 1500cc Corolla?

PLOT TWIST: It’s for sale for €90, seller couldn’t find/too lazy to use the Euro character.

Sexual Chocolate

A very unexpecting looking 335d in pretty much SE guise. Not mad on the alloys but love it otherwise.

That’s class.

The leather looks awful cheap in all f30 3 series though imo.

Sexual Chocolate

I've actually never being in a leather F30 but does look quite cheap compared to my E90. In saying that if it's being cleaned/dressed with something like pink sheen it will look quite awful.

bazz26

The standard leather is actually leatherette and it looks very cheap in that dark colour. Some of the cleaning chemicals used on it give it an even worse cheap shine also. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same stuff used on the dashboard.

I thought the leather wasn't cleaned, has that dirty leather shine

colm_mcm

There's something very pleasing about that car.

I think the SE and Sport trim leather is a different one to the one in the M Sport and M Sport Plus models - it looks and feels a lot different (fake and shiny Vs a more soft touch leather in the M Sport models). Either way that car is something of a sleeper, they are lightening quick compared to a Paddy spec 318/320.

Edit: luxury spec looks awful on these too. Run out models (m sport shadow edition) with blacked out trim look much nicer than the chrome trim.

Technique

The non m-sport steering wheel is always a deal breaker for me.

I way prefer the interior of my e90 to my old f30. Although I do miss the nice screen with Apple car play... but I’m working on that for my e90, another pointless mod I’ll never get my money back on.

Is the front bumper off a shade?

I take it you had "egg on your face" with the corolla? I thought you were selling the e90?

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Corolla AE85, current bid just a shade over 2k... sounds good but... it's in the Netherlands...on Croatian plates...and it has what looks to be a BMW e34 front...and it's LHD!

Lets watch this one considering a bare non rolling shell will set you back 4k here.

You left out the auto gearbox and towbar

That poor car is crying for someone to take care of it - broken tail lights, faded paint, hideous front end.
