What to do... 2 Cars, 1 Guy haha!!
« on: 11 April 2012, 20:29 »
Hoping this is were to post this.

Okay, so bought a Toyota Corolla T-Sport for £1500 cheap, bloke wanted rid fast as got another car given to him, nothing wrong with it, all legal 12months MOT, 4 Tax, FSH.
Was ALOT less than trade price for the car, so was thinking could maybe make a couple penny's selling it on, anyway
Said Toyota

1.8 VVTL-I 190 BHP?!?!!! Looks a total sleeper/Granny spec to me imo.
96k, Parking Sensors, AC, remote CL, Double DIN satnav/CD player, full size spare, TC, full toyota service history. The whole lot tbh
Read a few reviews, apparently handling is prity poor, and im not keen on the looks personally which is putting me off the most.
Now i really don't know what I want to do, keep my Golf, which iv put alot of time into and part of me really doesn't want to get rid, especially because MK3s are really not worth alot as it is.
Or go with the more modern/possibly sensible, Toyota. Bearing in mind, the Mk3 is getting to stage it really needs painted now and its getting the plus side of 125k.
Head or Heart.... Insurance etc is as close enough to make no real difference.
Keep Golf, or sell Toyota/ Keep Toyota sell Golf.  :undecided:
Love VW's.... But what you guys think?

In a former life I had one of those as a company car.

I was waiting at Cross Hands roundabout in West Wales, on the clutch as I was first, when I was smashed into from behind at 40 MPH by some old barsteward who was busy chatting to his aged passengers and not concentrating!  :angry:

Naturally it shunted me onto the roundabout, and by good fortune there was nothing coming around it, and into the side of me!

His car was fecked in the front and the Toytanker just had a buckled rear bumper.

A Keeper!

 :grin:

Also, to make things slightly even more difficult.

Bought 1500
Trade 2200
Forecourt 3200.

Wouldn't sell for that obviously. But potential for a big mark up and some decent cash. Why its making it so hard  :tongue:

And still cant believe something that looks like that has 190 BHP....  :laugh:

put it up for £2900 and sit on it for a bit, if nothing after a month think about keeping it or drooping to £2600. Wouldn't be worth getting rid for less mate. Either way, nice find!
