where ru based what year/model corolla u after ?
I am in donegal and i am looking for a 03 model or something like that
dc you wont find a cooper or corrola that year for €10,000!!! unless there is something seriously wrong with it!! 02 Coopers are bout €18,000, and 03 Corollas are bout € 13,500.
but if you do get one ... get me one too !!
03 corollas are not worth the money at all, the vvti engines are weak and start to burn oil, and require engine replacements around 30k due to their un re borable nickle plated bores

Just you stick to your novas and dont be worrying about corollas, toyotas make the most reliable cars in the world, if only vaux/opel had that record :mad::mad::mad:
ann other, just encase you did not notice, i wrote my reasoning for this, i have worked for toyota now for a good while, and i know the older ones were the most reliable cars inthe world! the fact toyota are now building cars in uk (the avensis and corolla) france (the yaris and aygo) turkey (the corolla estate) and croatia (the new avensis 2.2 diesel), the likes of their jeeps and sporty models, ie t sports, celica's and mr2's are only made in jap world now
the fact their cars are being made in other countrys, does not mean they send the bits out to get assembled there, infact it's the complete opposite! they make everything from scratch, engines and all, and use lower quality materials, hence why they are not as reliable now as they were

as for sticking to my novas, this will maybe stick something up your nose when you find this out, the vauxhall nova was designed and built by toyota!!! this was supposed to be their starlet, but vauxhall at the time had technology that toyota wanted, so toyota swapped vauxhall the nova plans for the vauxhall technology, known as lean burn!

toyota have done this an many's an occasion, the new prius technology has recently been sold or exchanged to vauxhall also, the hybrid system this is, as no matter what toyota's engines are not as economical as vauxhalls ecotec's, so they done an exchange, toyota got the ecotec plans, vauxhall got the toyota hybrid details!

dont speak on something your not 100% sure on, thank you please as you can see im a bit of a toyota and vauxhall buff!!!
