I wouldn't give 1k for one. Absolute pig of a thing to drive and wouldn't pull your foreskin back.

In standard guise they aren't extremely fast but accelerate quickly, good craic on a back road, i had a few many moons ago i put a td04 kit on mine and it would throw you back into the seat. In 2013 i sold it for €1650. Id say about 3/4k enough for a decent example and 5k for a minter.

I had a 20v corolla gt fx way nicer car that standard vs a glanza standard no comparison against corolla and corolla much quicker theres a black 20v corolla for sale in limerick at a dealers for 8k ( i only paid €900 for mine at the time in 2012)

Deane motors on the Dermot and Dave show on today FM this morning.
Even not posting them here doesn't mean escaping them

I seen a post on one Facebook group the ad isn't real, the car belongs to someone in the UK I think it was. I have my Glanza going on 7 years now, I just can't bring myself to part with it and mainly because it's standing me about 10k

If you had a Glanza, there was generally a que of young wans waiting to do that for you tbf.

So what’s the story with that Glanza ad then? Someone trying to pull a stunt with VRT?

I note you never sold your Glanza.

Toyotafanboi

Not when it's doing things like that for you :pac:

Will have it ten years this year, off the road since 2014. "I'm going to fix it up one day".

Still starts if you jump start it but would need a bit of recomissioning.

I reckon if that was the case they would have it priced a lot cheaper

Is it still good though as some guy on here parked up a DC2 in a shed and rot got it and he had to get I think a DC1 body to swap over the running gear.

Yeah it's not too bad. Would need tyres and brakes and new belts and fluids if you were serious about driving it again but the arches, sills and boot floor and the likes all look well.

Maybe someone they hate is VRTing a Glanza soon

mine was off the road a bit longer than that, it didn't need as much as i thought it would to get it ready for the nct and it passed first time. it was in surprisingly decent nick for a car that had been sitting up for years.

PsychoPete

In fairness they are fairly simple and there isn't much to them that really goes wrong

Toyotafanboi

Yeah, they are a great yoke, a bit like Clarksons Hilux, a sup of fresh petrol and a new battery and they'll never let you down i don't think.

Biggest issue with mine is i somewhat foolishly never declared it off the road so there must be around €2500 back tax on it.

PsychoPete

I did that with a little boxy starlet I have, never declared it off road so when it turned 30 I went to tax it. I owed them €800 in back tax but the nice woman in the tax office changed it to vintage tax and I'd to only pay the arrears when it turned 30 so I only owed them €34 in back tax

Toyotafanboi

That was really sound of them! I may hold out for another 7 years for that so.

I'm only the second Irish owner so would be a shame to have to change the ownership to my dogs name then back to mine.

PsychoPete

Personally if you'd planned on keeping it then extra owner wouldn't really bother me but you couldn't justify that kind of back tax. I do think Glanzas will shoot up in price once they hit 30, they are fairly scarce now as so many were broke here

If you do just take pictures and copies and leave in folder so if ever selling you can say definitely only 2 owners.

That reminds me of a thing I heard last week. Guy goes for a spin with his dog. Stops at a checkpoint. Guard says I hope you have a licence for him. Ah don't be daft says yer man, I do most of the driving.

wotzgoingon

I'm not sure if that happened or a good joke.

I would imagine the Garda would push more about the dog licence if you said that to him/her.

Nice Reg, ‘86 Cosworth 2.3 16valve....


..... Is it worth €40k?

More of a question if it’s worth it as I wouldn’t know the value of these.

€56 tax a year and a rare performance car. I don't know what it's worth though probably worth at least 20-25k. I wonder did a lord mayor own the car at some point regarding the registration plate.

More likely an import and the first 1986 car registered in MN (and not given a ZV plate)

It appeared on the Motors forum back in 2011. It was for sale at the time for less than 6 grand. And it had 150k on the clock.

Is it because they are doing well or because you have nothing else better going on?
