Hi all Ive have just sold my 2012 Auris which I have had from new , and I need a run about for local journeys a friend has a 2003

Celica which has just had a new clutch and brakes all round and has full Toyota service history, I think its a 1.6 not sure though

is there anything which I look out for ? I intend to share this car with my Son who shares a Yaris with his Girlfriend so an upgrade to the sound system is on the cards thanks for any input , this is my other Car1fa5df5f-9ecd-4a57-ba07-70f724dcfab1.jpg

Great car...enjoy it.

...just make sure the discs/pads are all ok...check oil levels and that the coolant is where/what it should be..Celica radiators can fail.

History is key...with regular oil changes (preferably every 6/7k miles or so).

The Gen 7 is a great driver's car...reliable, stylish and relatively inexpensive to run/repair...I assume it's the 140bhp model.?

Cheers Neil I must admit I only bought her as I have just sold my 2012 Auris and needed a run around car for use in the city but after some spirited driving around some country lanes I find myself having a fantastic little motor for not a lot of money and taking her out just for fun :D my Son also loves her

after getting out of his 1.3 Yaris it came as quite a surprise to him :D

Hi Ken, was just reading through your threads and see that you might be looking for a rear spoiler, I currently have a TRD style carbon fiber one with LED brake light that i am looking to sell which has silver painted ends. If you are interested drop me an email (msmarksilom@gmail.com)

 

Regards 2323 mark.
