Picked it up yesterday. 1993 Grandpa Corolla.























1 Owner, company car, traded up for an 09 Corolla.
208,000km, recent service, timing belt changed at 153,000. Clutch slips a little bit, so will get a kit in a few months time. Drives great.
When me and my mate went to get it in his Celsior, the Celsior went through 1/4 tank of fuel up and back, from Werribee to Burwood and back. The needle on the rollas gauge hasn't even moved. Win.
It's nice and clean, 1 or 2 dings and the paint on the bonnet isn't crash hot with a lot of chips.
This should serve me well for a few years until I can get into another Soarer, Chaser or Aristo.

anyone know how to pull the stereo out in one of these things? Haha, need to put my double din that I have in the soarer in the d-din slot.

$3250 drive away with rego till May next year too.

Needs more 20v black top??

Wow that car looks in fantastic condition.
I have a 1992 'rolla (the previous mode) and it runs great. Survives on less than unleaded fumes as well. That thing should last you another 100,000kms (hopefully) before it gives you grief.

Great condition, it almost looks new!

Stereo is a bit of a pain to get out in these (but still probably easier than the soarer lol) There is a screw in the bottom of the trim on either side of the steering wheel, take the screws out then that whole bit of trim just unclips and pulls out (trying to remember from my old corolla a few years ago)

Costa, it always had to be a Toyota

Luke, thanks for the heads up on dash removal

Daniel, might as well get a run about, and save the Soarer for cruising.

Haha Ross, it's moving now, it works

Bit of a communist car if you ask me.

Looks tidy for that sort of mileage done in a car usually people trash around.

i wouldn't touch a soarer that is so cheap

i don't have the money to fix something if it goes wrong, like my old soarer

a corolla runs on nothing and i just got just under 700km to 1 tank of 91 ron fuel

you might have money to fix it up or whatever, but i dont. the corolla will do me just fine till i can afford to buy something i really want

and if i do get another soarer, ill be looking around for another gold one
