Asad Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Dont worry about the steering wheel mate all eps from 98-99 came with them and im pretty sure all glanzas 98-99 came with passenger air bags (although i have seen a few 97 spec ones with the passenger airbag) aswell as the obvsious facelift.for a rough idea on what they look like heres a beaut of a 99 model (last few that rolled off the line)http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1999-Toyota-Starlet-...%3A1|240%3A1318 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 This one?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-TOYOTA-STARLET-...%3A1|240%3A1318If memory serves me right i got my N/A from there...well my parents went to go get it tbh he discription of the car was very very poor it was extreemly dirty inside and when questioned about the damage to the drivers side passenger door (i have a 5dr) which he failed to mention on the web discription he wouldn`t even decrease the price not to mention all the other swirl marks that were on the car (check my build for before and after pictures) also one or two other little things the front wipers were duff, no mention of the prev owner having a dog. he did deliver the car on time...i was happy with the car it took me a full two days to clean it, i still find the odd dog hair why do you want an auto mate?

SR17 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 That garage is about 20mins from me, I pop in every now and then to check out their glanza's. Really need to go and check the car out as pictures can be deceiving! Next time I go past I will take look, PM me and I can shed some light for you, so to speak Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
