Starlet__SR Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm in the market for a clean/low mileage Glanza or GT Turbo. Ideally less than 70k miles, the closer to standard the better. Not interested in any sheds. Money available for the right car. I know its a long throw but i've not seen anything on the usual places (ebay/gumtree/autotrader) that tickles my fancy. Thanks in advanceDay Link to post Share on other sites

mart1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Too high mileage, looks a rather ropey example with the paint job.Day85,000 miles is very low mileage nowadays for one of these, you be lucky to find a genuine low mileage glanza v but yeah that starlet looks ropey, it looks like it's a bit of a mixup of a starlet chucked together and selling it as a glanza v Link to post Share on other sites

mart1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 You have got to be careful looking at a standard glanza v as much as a modified one, some people have cotton on to putting modified starlets back to standard form, that way you have more chance of selling a very nice unmolested glanza v, plus the bonus of selling all them modified parts.Import is the way to go grade 4 £4000 to £5000 Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlersport Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 need a buyers guide, updated one ! Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 exactly that mate I got shafted lol good thing I can laugh about it now I have been stung myself pal, that's why I tend to buy auto v, very few people mod them and if they do it's a manual conversion first with them but if I was after looking for a manual I would look into importing one.

Whitenoize Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I was very silly and trusted the person as they are a trader on here and I'd bought various parts from them before I hardly even looked at the car tbh shook hands handed the money over was silly on my part as if I'd have give the car a good going over I'd have noticed a lot of things that wernt right I'm sure he was laughing all the way to the bank lol Link to post Share on other sites
