Eynonz Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 OK really interested in buying this car, but don't wanna buy a duff one as my first Starlet? So is this anyone on here, or does anyone know of it? The specs are as follows:Specs: Mot till July 2014 Tax end of May 2014 Mileage: around 80,000 obviously some of it was done in km being an import.

Decat and full stainless exhaust system LSD gearbox with apc 3 piece clutch Jperformace half size rad Sparco alloys with brand new refurb in blood red with good tyres all round Carbon wrapped roof Lowered 40mm all round Oil catch can Respray in frozen white. No smoke on boost or using any fluids Interior: Sony headunit Momo deep dish wheel Turbo timer Boost gauge Gt seats D1 spec carbon gearknob Bad points: Every car has them, rad fan needs wiring in switch (doesn't overheat) blowers only work when driving.

Idrees Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 L250 HYP? That's my old one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eynonz Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yeah it is , was there anything major wrong with it when it left you, or anything I should know about before buying? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 When we had it, it was black. Nothing's changed apart from a respray and a different manifold. It has higher mileage than stated and It didn't have LSD in it when we sold it I don't think. Mileage was over 100,000 I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eynonz Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Well, that is very interesting that he has understated the mileage by 20,000+. Also never had a car with a LSD so don't know what to expect. I'll go view it on the weekend and question the mileage to see what he says. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It had an optional LSD box, I fitted it myself. Yes the mileage was higher than stated. It's been around a bit so check how many owners it's had too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eynonz Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 He said the ODO says 120,000 miles, and that its a mixture between Miles and KM so its 80,000 roughly. Interestingly he said he had it from when it came into the UK. Very strange, very strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 He's talking shit mate, it's been on eBay 2-3 times this year (after the respray) and several times before that too when it was Black. He's guessing that it's 80k but there's no way he knows that for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1991 starlet owner Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) I'm guessing this is on eBay, to be honest mate I would keep looking in the for sale section and get one off here!! All the members that I've dealt with have been nice and most people know the cars etc floating about so maybe easier to find a good honest one.Only my opinion though mate.Good luck!Tom.

Eynonz Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I guess i'll keep looking seems too risky was £1500, there's a Glanza near me that looks quite nice http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/starlet/toyota-starlet-glanza-v-1-3-turbo/1924398 may get more information on that instead. I'll keep my eyes out on here, but all seem to be miles away, and I'm currently car less and it's a bit tricky to reach all the ones across the ol'bridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That one seems well layed out, and no some chav who's written it. Give him a call! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
