Corolla Tsport!

[PapaHett]

My Auris is going in on Tuesday to get some warranty work done, and a Corolla TSport has just turned up in another dealership.. Hopefully the Auris will be 100%, so I'm gonna go have a look at the corolla. It's a 2005 with a local reg..

What goes wrong with them? Or is there anything in particular I should look out for?

There seems to be a hiddeous paint defect on the Facelift models. It makes them all turn a manky grey colour.

The search button is also currently working.

I tried using the search, but couldn't really come up with much.

My car's getting warranty work done tomorrow with Mr. T, then i'm going to see this:

On Thursday.. Would really appreciate some tips about what to look out for, such as lift kicking in properly.

EDIT:

I did a search, but it didn't bring up anything like that. Was possibly not wording it right.

I HPi'd the car.. and it came up okay.

you paid for an HPi? :( most sellers should be willing to do that themselves.

just be wary of the asking price. seems high to me. would need to be spotless, in every sense of the word.

Like Ricc says, the asking price is high

I paid £7250 for mine and that was a 06 with 22k on the clock from a official Toyota dealer, so included years warranty, RAC cover, years tax and Test and a free service after 6 months.

Always room for a haggle

Looks like a nice car, be careful though, that colour seems to be the slowest

Yea, I just wanted to be sure before driving over an hour to view it.

And yea, I dont plan to pay out £7'500 for it..

[Uber_Luke]

Noticed your from Ireland, is it 7.5k pounds or euro?

It's £7,495 GBP.. There does seem to be some examples around the net that are going for much more though..

Most Compressor's i've seen have been around £9k-11k
