It had 100k when i bought it.It has a full service history which is great and the engine that i have has been placed by toyota under warranty by its first owner for some reason and the engine has 55k odd miles from new (the second engine).Other than all that it runs like clock work and i havent had any problems apart from i had to replace the front brak calipers cause they had badly seized.Other than that car is in mint condition near enuff allover jus some bits n bobs need touched up.What all your cars how have ya all been gettin on since ya bought it?P.S. i havent added my car yet to the gallery, keep an eye out though once i do Cheers, regards Bilal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 basically, i went to look at mine, then got told some bad news about cash and thought i couldnt get it. but then i got told some good news and iwas told i could get it in 8 days. that was about 25 days ago. so i waited and waited, then got told on numerous occasions false deadlines, so i waited and waited and waited and waited, and im still waiting.. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scutch0 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 my car was ordered by a guy in 1997 out in australia when he lived there, (bcoz australia is really hot it came as a standard starlet with no pas with air con ) soon after getting the car he decided to migrate to the uk, and liked the car so muxh that he had it shipped over, he then owned it for two years here then part exchanged it for another car at a garage, then that was where my baby sat for 11 months... until i bought it for £2200, with 31,000 on the clock... now its just clocked 100,000 miles 3 years later.
