adamsd11 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 So I'm looking at getting a glanza as I've got some spare money and would like a small project to complete through the winter. I've seen this and wondered what it is actually worth in the condition that its in?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-glanza-1-3-turbo-starlet-no-reserve-/111203495810?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item19e43eaf82 It will be my first mechanical project so I would more likely swap the engine block than forge it, (Depending on cost) Any help would be grate CheersAdam Quote
Zeldoz Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Honestly.. Don't even think it's worth what the starting bid is.. Needs an engine.... Quote
adamsd11 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 That is what I was thinking. Blocks are about £500 roughly, what would you say its worth then as im new to this and don't have much idea? Looks clean enough, could do a lot with it but depends what he would let it go for. cheers Quote
fremyjay Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Its a 98 spec can fetch anything between £2500-£3500 depending on condition, even if you spend £500 on a bare engine and drop it in over a weekend with a bit of help you could easily make a £1000 profit or at that price you would make a fair bit breaking it Quote

Bought my 98 Spec on 45k miles for less than 2k lol Quote
fremyjay Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 You got a bargain tbh, I payed £5000 for my 98 spec although that was 2 years ago. 98 specs tend to cost more than a 96 spec and a good 96 spec will set you back around £2000 Quote
Zeldoz Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I did get a bargain.. But i can't see that being worth anything up to £3000.. If you paid £1500, Spent £500 on a engine.. I think you may have a chance of making £2500 on re-sale if your going to sell it... I'd buy the old knackered engine off you to re-coup some of you moneeyys! Quote
adamsd11 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 If I did purchase it the old engine would be up for sale. Basically I would like to buy the car, not even because the td04 or mods, just because it looks like a clean base shell. Can someone put a price on it? cheers Quote
Whitenoize Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 It's bin on eBay a while now offer him 1k Quote
emma.beck93 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 go too southern ireland were im from and you can buy 98 spec from 800 quid too about 1200 Quote
Addymk2 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Running or a shell? Prices fluctuate on a weekly basis with these carsI'd go in at £1250 and see what he says! Quote
adamsd11 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 right so I spoke to the guy and just politely said that if it doesn't sell I would be interested as Im not willing to spend £1500 when it needs a new lump. His reply was 'Jog on' so ill leave that one by the looks of it. Time to find another. If anyone knows of any broken/project/cheap glanzas for sale please let me know. Thanks for all your help,adamI've been looking but i cant seem to find any, Emma where do you find these? Quote
Whitenoize Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 He must be some kinda idiot mate did he say how much he wanted for it ? Quote
adamsd11 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 no mate, In the advert it says I wont accept offers under my asking price and I will just let the auction run, so I said if it doesn't sell let me know I'm interested and I like your car.. he replied with nothing else than 'jog on', I never said how much I was willing to pay just said not £1500. No wonder he cant sell it if that's how he's talking to people. He can keep it. Quote
Zeldoz Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 That's apparantly the "father". 17 year old ragged it to death, didn't care for it and blew it up. Obviously how its happened. I wouldn't touch it if thats there attitude. Quote
adamsd11 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 yeah im going to leave it now. Shame really because it was 98 spec with good shell. Oh well, time to look for another, there has to be one out there. Quote

emma.beck93 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 http://cars.donedeal.co.uk/find/cars/for-sale/Ireland/?filter%28make%29=Toyota&filter%28model%29=Starlet&sort=publishDate+desc&source=all&start=15 have a search through mate. i havent looked in a while Quote
adamsd11 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 they are dirt cheap over there. May be worth taking a trip... Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Doesn't appear to be a 98 spec judging by the interior (and front bumper), so definitely not worth it. Quote
fremyjay Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 not all 98 cars came with updated interior, glanza-ben has a 98 and older interior, but the bumper isnt a 98 so must have been changed at some point maybe due to front end damage maybe?? Quote
emma.beck93 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 hope i have been of some help adam and best of luck.in your search Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) not all 98 cars came with updated interior, glanza-ben has a 98 and older interior, but the bumper isnt a 98 so must have been changed at some point maybe due to front end damage maybe?? Just because it has an R reg plate doesn't mean it is actually a '98 either, Ben's isn't 98 spec. I've never seen a '98/'99 with the old interior. Edited November 7, 2013 by WallaceGlanza Quote
