Yup i finally collected her today and she drove the 65 mile journey home like a dream...solid...quiet...and very comfortable indeed! Dont know why i didn't invest in one years ago instead of going from one car to another. The only bad point is it has a series...and i mean about 10 small dings all along the A pillar(i think thats what you call it...the metal going up from the side mirror up the side before you move over onto the roof itself!) going up to the back of the car only on the passenger side...god knows how it happend...can only think the previous owner must have parked under an Apple tree/acrorn tree lol...anyway the Ford dealer i purchased it from called in a company called Dent Tech yesterday and they said its impossible to remove them via PDR (paintless dent removal) which i was suprised coz they only dings!!! Any suggestions please????

Thank you...regards...Sammy

p/s...i have to get rid of the factory stereo now...already have my jvc bluetooth single din stereo...any suggestions wheres best to buy a fascia in the right colour???

P/ss...any advice on whether i should take out GAP insurance...is it a good idea?

And any advice on whether i should take out after-market warranty against breakdowns etc...what do you think??? Does it work???? Please help

if they're too deep for PDR then only thing I can suggest is take it to a body shop and get a quote. they might panel beat out what they can and fill the rest before spraying it up for you.

i don't see the point in GAP on a used car and you could take a warranty if you wanted but touch wood nothing will go wrong these are reliable little cars. however joining the AA or other breakdown service won't hurt, even if its just for peace of mind.

i too use the facia and it's the best one for colour match and fitting.

Thanks guys...Im going to see my local bodyshop on Tuesday...see what he says about filling and spraying the side pillar...how much do you think they'll charge from say the mirror pillar to just passed the rear window??? I wana do my bodywork course one day!

And i wont worry about the warranty n gap insurance the dealer told me to think about...already got breakdown cover so cool.

Cheers to all...sammy

What makes it worse is that Corolla is clearly spelt in the sub forum link above the thread ans also in his own profile information. :laughing:
