For Sale '99 Toyota Starlet 1.3 auto 24k - photo's added

[timolloyd]

I'm trying to help a recently-widowed friend sell her '99 Toyota Starlet. Photo's to follow.

 

It's a real gem, nice electric blue colour like the one below and well maintained all its life. The couple in question are unfailingly scrupulous with upkeep and there's a fully stamped service book - Toyota main dealer to 2005, local garage thereafter.

 

The MOT history is immaculate. Search T58DDY to see. Note that this plate is being transferred and a new number allocated this week (as shown in photos below).

 

MOT till next August, tax to get you home.

 

I want to raise as much as possible for my friend and I can see these are on Autotrader around the £500 mark. Would make a great reliable first car or runaround for someone.

 

If I sell it through here at close to asking then I'll deliver for fuel and cheap train ticket home, plus make another good donation to the forum.

 

Any interest?

Where abouts are you? Could be interested as a replacement for the Lancer.

I'm in Surrey, but happy to deliver subject to dates etc.

Which model is it? Also 3 or 5 door?

 

I'm looking for a cheap auto, so this looks tempting.

[timolloyd]

I'm afraid I don't yet know the specific model, but it is 3 door.

lovely, Toyotas are cool, had a Sera for a couple of years, ace cars, good luck with the sale, would have been interested if I had the spare dosh

Cheers for that ^^

I will try and sort photos and itemise what delightful extras* the S model beholds, soon.

I'm guessing:

 

1. Rear wash/wipe
2. er...

[Jim Bell]

Itll almost certainly have a lovely reliable heater.

I got one of these in Mills'o'Matic format for the MiL 3 years ago, she's still steaming around in it now, it's been uber reliable and is a bit of a hoot to drive around town. Bloody quick off the mark too if you give it some beans.

 

Glwts etc..

Well this is certainly tempting me and I'm only down in Sussex. Will await pictures with interest.

My mother had the Corolla version of this model again in mills-o-matic.

Great engine and never broke down.

Foolishly gave it to my sister after I encouraged her to buy a super low mileage one who completely destroyed it. The other one was mint to look at but had a running issue after a while which turned out to be 1/4 of a tank of water mixed in with the petrol. Still ran famously for a year then started kangarooing intermittently. Shame but got p/x'd for the same money she paid for it.

VERY popular in Africa, in the Congo almost every taxi is a Toyota Corolla/starlet etc with that very engine, usually pimped very badly and with severe body damage but always running.

 

It was like chod heaven looking out of my hotel window!!!

Nice little cars these, up there with the K11 Micra, if not a little better. It will do someone well.

They must be good if better than a K11. Loved mine great fun for a wee car.

Thanks for all the comments. Will get on the case with some photos in the next 24 hours.

The very nice lady @Pringles Breakers (what's not to like, when offered 16 Wheelnuts for a fiver...) told me that the 'ethnic getlemen' who turn her over for engines - periodically - gag for Toyyo motors...TopDollari!!

 

Straight into the Hiace & off to the seaside.....

OK - cheeky threadbump because I've added photo's to the post at the top and a little detail about the full set of stamps in the service book.

 

As you can see it has GR9 trimz. I'm told the jack, spare wheel etc. is all unused.

 

There's a bit of local interest too, so hurry hurry!

[MarvinsMom]

what a little belter, even with them pound land hubcaps!!

[Kiltox]

That's a little cracker - what about a roffle?

[GrumpyCat]

PM sent.

[taxi paul]

Bargain at that price.

[Jim Bell]

Great reg too. It provably looks like something if you tilt your head and squint.

[eddyramrod]

That's lovely!  Count me in if it goes to a Roffle!
