Saying Goodbye To The Corolla

[Chris.S]

The Compressor goes as a trade in next week and getting back into an IS200.

Its been a journey with a few ups and downs and ive never really got into liking the car 100% so i had to let it go.

That's a shame but at least you experienced owning one

It's a pity Toyota built these without ever addressing the owners comments and queries.

I think most owners are happy but some, like me find it a rocky road

Sad to see you go. Did you get your IS200 from Hodgsons in the end?

[Chris.S]

No mate i found another on more locally

Sorry to see it go mate.

Looked quite nice at JAE!

Where did you get your engine bay bits painted up?

If i lived closer (and had a Compressor) i would've done a deal with you for them!!

[Chris.S]

A friend of mine has a paintshop, he did them for me

[Norfolk n Chance]

You see, this is where i'm going wrong!

I'm gonna have to start making more friends in strategic places!!

One advantage of joining a forum!

hope you got a decent price for the compressor? they seem to be going for peanuts now! :o

[Chris.S]

Got 11k as a trade in

[Ed_Shek]

Got 11k as a trade in

That'll be marked up to over £13k for potential buyers!

[pauljack]

11 k what year and mileage was that? just interested as a Lotus dealer offered me £9000 for mine

[Chris.S]

October 06 with 8000 miles

You've got to watch these dealers at the min

The Compressor isnt listed in any guide book and so a lot of them are valuing them as standard T-sports

[pauljack]

Yeah i agree i think that is what they have done with mine!

[T-Sport_Jay]

Well i'm another one who has sold the T sport.

I had her for nearly 2 years and i can definately say that it was the best car i've owned done so much with the car and it never let me down and i was completely gutted to see her go. Its only the fact that i've changed to a BMW e39 M5 that has stopped me from crying at night........ i completely miss the fuel economy only getting about 15mpg at the moment but the feeling of 400bhp underneath your right foot does make up for it.

But seriously i do miss the kick of the t sport its such a completely rounded car. Although the M5 is emensly fast and powerful car i can't jump in it as much as the fuel bill needs to be considered and using it for a commute to work through town its painful with massively heavy clutch etc but when u leave a wrx or an evo behind at the lights the grin is massive.

Sorry to rant on but to all your t sport and compressor owners i would like to say i personally think you own one of the best cars on the road and hopefully one day i'll come back to a t sport. and maybe next year the compressor will fall to 5k hahahaha sorry bad joke
