Jimmer Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If you are after a cheap reliable diesel estate, then look no further for here is my 1996 Toyota Corolla finished in glorious White. Here’s the massive spec- The huge power comes from the 2.0L normally aspirated diesel engine producing a mind bending 71hp (When new) 12 months MOT – (MOT’ed last Saturday) Taxed until May Serviced last Saturday (Oil/Filter) The previous service the year before was a full one. Everything fluid was changed including the timing belt. Low millage, just 225,000 – Don’t be scared by this, it is super reliable and I often do 400 mile trips with no problem and with no Oil/Coolant loss etc. Tow bar fitted, to tow things. I have had the pleasure of owning this fine automobile for a year and a half and not once has it let me down. Everything works, admittedly there’s not much to break...but it does have electric front windows! The fuel economy is superb and it can carry lots and lots of generic stuff. I will get some pictures up shortly when I get home from work in the light. The car is actually really clean and tidy. I’m only selling it as I now do a lot of motorway miles and need something more comfortable. Please don’t let the vast millage put you off, it drives well and doesn’t feel as though it has done 200k! For the time being you can see a fellow Corolla as featured on last nights Top Gear, although mine doesn’t have a Starlet on the roof it is exactly the same just white. I’m looking for £650 for it, I think that’s a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'd rather do a long journey in this rather than risk it in a newer french car. It took us all to cardiff last night and back in extreme comfort and cruised beautifully at 70mph. It's quite a head turner aswel as we managed to pull two good looking chaps whilst pimping along at slow speed waiting to get into the car park. One of the chaps we pulled i'm sure i have seen driving a siver supra. Plus there is plenty of room in the back if you get really lucky. With a machine as good as this you may be fighting off men and women wanting just to be part of the corolla's fine heritage. *please note that the seller holds no responsibility if the new owner pulls a munter* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
