Picked Up My 2003 Vvti 140 Today

[citizen__erased]

Been looking forward to picking my car up all week, finally got it today. Only owned it a matter of hours and already it's the best car i've ever owned! 2003 vvti 140bhp with the sports pack in chilli red. Immaculate and with full toyota history and only 29000 miles for only 6 grand (plus trade in worth £500). Very happy :D

Congrats! Pics!?

It looks great in chilli red, although i'd have preferred a silver one I think (red cars can fade). Will take a few pics over the weekend.

red cars can fade

They can, but if you look after it, then it'll be fine. I know of plenty of red Toyotas that are 10 to 20 years old and still looking great providing they get a regular wax.

But yes, if you don't look after it, then it'll fade in time. Usually the cars that end up really pink are those that people have stopped caring about and once they start to go it accelerates quickly without care.

Cheers for the info T600. I have bought some zip wax to keep it clean and give the paintwork some protection.

Don't skimp on detailing products, try some Collinite Wax or Zymol if you can afford it.

If it's a face lift I agree, however my money is on it being a pre, Aamir :)

The clue was the fact that the Car has the Sports Pack, this was only ever offered on the pre face lift, along with the Dynamic Pack.

Me and caravans do not go together, so rest assured that it's not likely
