Station Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I saw this for sale in one of those long parade of vehicles for sale which shouldn't be there but the seller has used different fonts for the adverts and different numbers so the council can't prosecute him for something or other. No rust, velour, sump a bit oily, I think these had the least breakdowns out of any car in the 90's. Engine is 16v fuel injection 4-AFE. Ad says 'offers over 100' Radio owned for 12 years.

Dick Longbridge Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Mrs TW had a G plate hatch one of these when I met her. Lovely car, and built like a brick in a faeces store. What's with the covering up of the phone number though - have you bought it? If not, I'd imagine the banger crew will be all over it pretty quickly at that sort of money. Edit: She had a Corolla. Is the Carina a slightly bigger car, or is it a booted 'Rolla? Confused. Edit again: 74k on the clock and MOT until October. Advisories are real small fry. Clearly giffer owned until recently.

Station Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Covered the number up as its a public forum, if you want it pm me.It's on the Wirral. Carina was the European name of the Corona, although the Corona was sold here as well from memory. Same chassis as the Corolla, like the Astra and Cavalier.Not sure how similar the Toyota 4-AFE is to the Yamaha 4-AGE? Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same chassis as the Corolla, like the Astra and Cavalier.Not sure how similar the Toyota 4-AFE is to the Yamaha 4-AGE?It's Toyota's T-platform which isn't the same as the Corolla/e-chassis. Independent rear suspension, 5 stud wheels etc. If I recall the cylinder head and Pistons are different. Easier to get a cheap Celica and do a complete 3SGE/2.0 litre engine swap if you're so inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Oh ay. I got a missed call from a girl I've been speaking to, so rang her back but it was this fella selling the car, replying to a text message from yesterday. He accepted my offer and I said I'd come round now. The seller was an nice elderly gent who had just bought a new (2006) Corolla, had worked in the trade for 60 years, bought it in 2004 off an old man who had to stop driving who sold it on the promise it would go to a good home. He's really looked after it, and had to go for the Corolla as his joints couldn't handle the pedals anymore. It's had a recent clutch, cam belt and exhaust. No dents or rust on it anywhere, everything works, he said it has never broken down since he's had it.In the typical autoshite tradition, one of these has been on my want list for ages, it's boring but totally reliable, economical and nice to drive. It has storage trays under the seats! Two hours later I phoned the girl back but she didn't answer. egg, rantingYoof, KruJoe and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodders Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 That is very nice, so nice that you have now got me browsing the internet for other Carinas.

DodgyBastard Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I might be getting one on Thursday night. I previously had the ae92 corolla with the same engine, it felt relatively quick.

junkyarddog Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 To my mind,those Carina's are quite possibly one of the greatest cars ever built. Well bought. Station and tooSavvy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter White Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 That looks superb and well looked after. What a peach. Well found and bought.

worldofceri Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Old boy I used to work with had one of these; replaced it with a Honda Logo (who!?). The Carina became a driveway ornament. I shouldn't be surprised if it still is, even eight years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
