looks fairly cheap. I would at least go and look at it tho :)

"Book" price on the 140 for a 99 plate is between £5-6000 plus it has the premium and dynamic pack so that appears to be a good price.

Service History? UK Car?

I wouldn't personally say the price is anything special.

This time of year you need to knock roughly £500 of a car of that value to sell it.

Any things like Celicas/Supras/Skylines etc are taking quite a tumble at the moment as there are just thousands of cheap imports coming over again and again which is driving down the value.

Defo a good price, well worth a look at least.

I'd say it was the just on the cheap side of 'about right'. Remember it's one of the very first of the Gen7's, so that might have a bearing on it.

Certainly is below av. mileage, but go and have a look. Satisfy yourself of all the usual stuff - Service History, HPI, condition.

Although Celica's as less easy to find than Focus', say, there's enough around that you should take your time to find a minter........there's enough of 'us' around who look after our cars for you to surely find one soon.

Happy hunting!

I had a quick look at an import 190 the other day which was unmarked average miles top of the range etc etc for £5000. I thought that was too cheap!

This is the one I was looking at:

Would any of you guys who own one say they are spacious? Is there room in the back?

Would you perhaps fit a child seat in the back?

I might go and have a look at it.

[Spuffington]

Room in the back of the Gen7 is reasonable. It's best to consider it a 2+2. I wouldn't know about the baby seat and couldn't really hazard a guess as the rear seats are 'bucket' seats to give more headroom.

I do, however, occasionally have to ferry around the Mother-in-Law so the Missus sits in the back - she's about 5'8" and she's reasonably comfortable for journeys up to an hour providing the front seat is brought forward halfway.

6 footers are a problem and even me at 5'10", my head is scraping the rear window.

If lugging things around is your thing, it's got a pretty spacious boot - not terribly deep, but we can do a £100 supermarket shop and get everything in no problem. With the seats down I can get an 18" framed mountainbike (with wheels off) in the boot.

For a couple it's a very practical car........and probably for a family with toddlers or up to 5yr old kiddies.
