1999 Yaris 1.0 vvti - Sold! With VIDS!

[Jim Bell]

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.

Looks a bargain Mr Shitpeas, you should have no trouble shifting that. Nice low insurance group as well I would have thought

Thats a good and accurate write up. Cheers Sav.

[Shep Shepherd]

Mega-bargain! GLWTS

[r.welfare]

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.

Yeah, sorry. 2000. Well spotted.

Which means its an EVEN BIGGER bargain.

[HH-R]

These were new 'n' expensive when I passed my test so I still assume them to be modern!

[Jim Bell]

 

 

 

Qwality digitalz. So future, but NOW!

(library  pic, but accurate)

[Cavcraft]

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.

[loserone]

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!

[Jim Bell]

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.

Those who think that 1st Gen Yaris's are modern, check out James May's hairdo:

A mate of a Ad's has a T plate one of these (sure I have mentioned it to you before) and he reckons it's worth "2 grand, all day".

I strongly disagree with that, but I reckon you will get £500 without too much hassle.

Hey, that's my hair style*.

[Lankytim]

How much fish and chips is involved here?

[overrun]

I believe I know the two possible eateries and you get a canny enough feed, but we are not talking a 'whale and a pail', here.

 

HTH.

[Jim Bell]

4 and a half star value fish and chips will be provided fresh at North Shields fish quay.

Which is worth the £500 purchase price alone.

[Craig the Princess]

That looks minty fresh, but it rhymes with Harris so I'm out.

 

GLWTS though.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Can any potential buyers have a shot on the 'shieldsman' ferry as well??? Its sounding increasingly tempting.

[Bobthebeard]

Lost the plot here due to the vagaries of t'internet... Is this still for sale?

[Jim Bell]

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.

[Bobthebeard]

Hmmmmmm........

Am interested! No idea why. But ticks the boxes.

[Jim Bell]

Upon close inspection, the car definitely needs a new back box, so that will be done over the next couple of days.

[Jim Bell]

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.

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!

[Jim Bell]

I'm doing it wrong/right.
