£7100????? are you sure??????
compressor normally returns 30-35MPG i believe
CraigY
November 3, 2009, 10:00 pm
100% sure
it was £7995
then down to £7500
now at £7100
why that a good/bad deal ?
bare in mind its a 54 plate
and not a compressor

if its 7100 from a toyota dealer its a fair deal. I wouldnt say a cracking deal but its fair as the mileage is good, Condition of the vehicle looks ace.
CraigY

condition is top notch
and it also comes with a full 12 months toyota warrenty
cmh shek

Hmmm..7100 is a bit steep in my opinion. None being sold privately? Managed to buy mine few month ago for 5200 same colour same reg but 45k on it.
Guess it would be better to buy from a dealer..but you could easily get aftermarket warranty for £25/month. Although, these are really reliable cars if looked after so you shouldn't encounter many problems.
Up to you mate, but I'd look around a bit more

That's really nice bit pricy though red looks amazing on the corolla I think low miles is a good thing even though Toyota engines will just keep going and going. But I think you will get one cheaper than this? Maybe shop on eBay?
(didn't get a good look at this on I'm on m iPhone)

Mine was 10K 6 Years ago.
She had 13,910 on when i got her.
She's just done 64,000 very sedate miles and is currently hoping for a early retirement (which she isn't going to get)

Hi there
I tried px'ing my 2006 Yaris D4D for that car at SDM Toyota recently. They wanted my car plus £2500!
I wasn't tempted.
Keep looking Craigy, the right car will pop up at the right price!

I do agree with this i don't think you should just buy a car because you think your like it. Every time i bought my cars it was just the perfect time i had been car shopping loads but when i wasn't even planning on buying a car i ended up with a corolla i didn't know anything about Rollas just loved the shape and went with my instinct and every car i have had by doing thins i loved to bits!!!
Just wait you can still get the Corolla if they keep selling and you start getting annoyed like i did when i was car shopping i found it was better to give up lol.
I mean nothing caught my eye even the TS corolla i looked at but couldn't afford the insurance so kept looking but nothing i really wanted that i could afford so i gave up but i was driving past a garage so popped in and right at the back was my baby

it was fate.
One will just pop out of the blue and that will be the right one

That's pretty much what happened with me. I saw it and just wanted it!
I haven't regretted it at all either, no matter how much of a pain 20 years of rust is!
