Sad sale, but I can't keep it and replace it. I have a new car pretty much lined up (all bar a few details to negotiate) so the Corolla has to go up for sale. Its a FWD sux 4 drftn AE80, 1.3 12 valve automatic. Taxed 06/09 MOT 01/10. 45,000 miles from new. Recent service, recent full valet & "detail", new brake line, couple of new tyres on it too. This car is reliable as anything, runs sweet as a nut, is surprisingly nippy for a 1.3 automatic. Rav happy little motor makes it a fun thing to razz about in. Economical and cheap tax too.... I have loads of "history" with it, including all the paperwork from when it was sold new in Loughborough. Its sound, tidy car. Its had a small touch of welding on the backs of both sills (rear closing section) but otherwise as far as I can see never welded. Floors and strut tops are like new. Theres some blebs on the front and rear arches. Paint is good, interiror is excellent. Original radio FM/LW/MW works well. The rear brakes are noisey when dead cold but work fine and the noise goes after a couple of stops. I have new brake shoes with the car but its too cold and I'm to lazy to have fitted them yet. Haynes manual included in sale so you have no excuse. Also included in sale is one brand new driver side wing. Car is in daily use. Can be seen south of the city evenings or weekends, or subject to me being able to sneak out of work I can demo it during the working day in the city centre. Come for the shopping, stay for the car.         |

I just treated myself to a Sigma 10-20 for my Canon EOS400D. Most of those I think were shot with that. Any excuse.

Does this have power steering?. I have been following this car since you got it hoping you would sell it, and if its got the 'pas' my mam will be very interested (anything to get her away from that horrid Hyundai Accent  ) |

It doesn't have PAS. IMO it doesn't need it, but thats down to how frail or otherwise yer mam might be  In all seriousness, very slow speed manouvering, you'll notice its got no PAS. On the road its fine. She's welcome to come have a drive of it and see. They did do these with PAS and they must have been horribly light, like Nintendo levels of feedback you know. |

No interest?
Too expensive?
Too boring?
Don't make me eBay it...

None of the above I would say.
Just currently the wrong time to be selling as car. Yours is a a bargain, but unfortunately whenever money is tight classic/interesting cars are always teh first to suffer. Its a true buyers market out there.

Just a pedantic comment from my side: It has a 2E engine so it's a EE80, not an AE80...
I had one just like this and I loved it! Had to sell it when I moved country, but the friend who bought it has now been driving it happily for 2 years without any problems.

sorry not been here long what sort off tat are you after I have quite a stash myself but currently no cash and a strange desire for the car a 1.3 auto might be the yeng to the yang of my 3.5 v8 auto I'd want some cash not all tat. But I am always tempted by alloys - 4x4.5 (114.3mm) 5x4.5" (114.3mm) or 5x5" (erm, work that one out for yourself mm) I might be able to use a set of Rover V8 tubular exhaust manifolds. Hurst or Lokar shifter for a TH400. TCI or B&M shifter for a Torqueflyte 727. White vinyl Grant or Moon wheel. Autometer or SunPro 4" tach That sort of stuff. I could use a big block mopar suitable for rebuild as well, pref a 400 B block or a 440 RB block but a 383 would do the job either. or a RB25DET & 5 speed, but thats probably a little more than the car is worth LOL. Siert - so thats what an EE80 is! |
