The Toffinator Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 As i have previously said and talked about, i want to buy a starlet for when i pass my test and have cash waiting. just seen this on ebay and its 4 miles down the road Would look at wheels, suspension etc to do it out a bit as well.What do you think of it? i know its a small ad but for that money is it worth it?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-STARLET-1996-...32#ht_500wt_947Thanks!

ryan lang Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 best bet would be to go and have a look at it if its that close mte, cant go wrong then, get your dad or someone to test drive it aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stulet-GTT Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Looks very clean, if its jus down the road you should pop round for a closer inspection... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Yeh thats what i would do, or take a friend as hes on the rig for another week at the moment! might give him a ring tomorow, but if its clean enough is it worth that price?Also i have had a quick look at the buyers guide, is there anything else i should look out for on it?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 thats a good price if its a tidy motor dude, i paid almost double for mine, and mine not in the best nick, i just really badly wanted it and knew i wouldnt find another 1 like it lmaoand now its my baby go and give it a good check out if its close buddy, get on the fone ask some questions, and then go and make sure what he says is true/false and try and pick out little things to knock money off, even if its a 10, thats a spare 10a for petrol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Toffinator Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 I really wanty to believe me, the only thing putting me off is the 100,000+ miles. but as it has one owner and full service history will it be that nuch of a problem? arhhhh!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 My Starlet had over 105k miles and would still be running now if it wasn't for the radiator failing.It's for sale if you're interested, it now has a new engine with 67k miles on it, new radiator, and I've done the clutch, cam belt, alternator belt, oil & filter, etc... and it will have 12 months MOT on it soon once the rear brakes are done.If you end up buying that one on ebay don't worry about the miles, just make sure it's got good service history and it will be fine.
