Jim Bell Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Due to impending incoming of fresh shite, the other halfves dailly is up for rehoming. Offered here before ebay/Gumtree montards. 1999 Toyota Yaris 1.0 vvti (chain driven) Just under 110k. Gets 39 Mpg local, 44 on a run (calculated using facts and experience) MOT 09.01.15. Tax is up, but can tax at cost before the end of the month. It is the legendary base S spec: It has is a rear wiper. And one Airbag. And the groovy LCD clockset. Aftermarket CD player. Keep fit windows. Manual locks. Bicep assisted steering (not that you need power). Pics: Bad points: Headlights have started to go misty (passed last mot but could do with a bit of wet & dry or autosol) Backbox has a small hole. Weld or putty should suffice. Or if you win the lottery, a brand new one is £31 from Euro Car Parts. Check values on ebay, and youll see people are asking between £800 and £1300 for exampes of this age. She needs £500 minimum. So thats the AS price. It'll be going on ebay for moar money if none of you bargainhunters fancy a bit of Japanese reliability. Located NE304PQ.Close to Scotland and Essex by way of airports and train stations. Fish and chips and cup of tea included in purchase price.

r.welfare Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Huh! I thought the rear valences on these came pre-dented from the factory. Canny that. Also I'm sure X reg is 2000 or 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I love those sort of kaleidoscope speedos on these. Very impressed with the cars when we had them as company motors a few years back now. I'm one more (decent) cycle sale away from telling you I want this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I learnt to drive in one of these, and can confirm that I can't remember anything about it whatsoever except for it's colour. Looks like ace value for an economical runabout, which is just what I needed only a few weeks ago. GLWS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 How can you not remember the gear change? Thats my favorite aspect of the car. Its like cycling a bolt action rifle. So direct and solid. Across the gate even sounds like a reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 4 and a half star value fish and chips will be provided fresh at North Shields fish quay. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g667546-d1728715-Reviews-The_Waterfront-North_Shields_Tyne_and_Wear_England.html Which is worth the £500 purchase price alone.

Bobthebeard Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Lost the plot here due to the vagaries of t'internet... Is this still for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 MrBo11ox - No. Bobthebeard- yes mate, still for sale. Just gone up on eBay at a suitably higher start price, but Autoshite price still stands for fine upstanding shitters such as yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthebeard Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hmmmmmm........Am interested! No idea why. But ticks the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Upon close inspection, the car definitely needs a new back box, so that will be done over the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 As there was a sale on at Euro Car Parts, the Yaris is getting a new centre section AND back box. Asking price remains the same for even more value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking price remains the same for even more value.You have failed the Pandapops school of car advertising. What you are supposed to do, is have zero interest in the car and then have unrequired work etc carried out and bump up the price, accordingly!
