I love it. I drove back from cork and it was so relaxing. I sold my 2005 mondeo st and it cost a grand total of 150 to upgrade. Some amount of car for the money. The seller was going to trade it in in the U.K. And was getting 2.5k sterling unseen. You wouldn't buy an equivalent for £3500 as far as I could see.

They've aged so well considering when they came out.

It has sat nav and a built in phone in the dash and a handset in the centre console. Which all works! Gas stuff altogether!

I bought this today. Advertised at 3800 initially, I paid 2750 with a FULL tank and €20 back for luck. It is genuinely like new inside and I'd say there is barely an option that didn't go unticked. Book is stamped every 10000 on the 10000. Belt done and serviced. Needs a few bushings and a bearing is whining slightly but I'm very happy.

Well wear with it.

Ran one of those for a year or so before I got the Abarth. Lovely motor in many ways. I always liked the looks and the engine is a smasher for a diesel.
It even made a nice five cylinder warble. Mine was manual. Ridiculously bad rear space.
Any questions send me a pm.

Is there really bad rear space in an s60? I'm on the look out for an auto to replace my s80 whenever she hits the dust, was considering an s60 but not if tight at the back....
James, are there blinds in the back windows?

I won't be using the back seats really so I'm not too pushed but I threw a few bits in this morning as I was going to work and it does seem tight legroom wise. No blinds in the back of mine anyway.

If you're anywhere near Limerick, you're welcome to have a look.

Does the stereo play porn music and a disco light come on when you put those seats down?!

Allegedly it is quite popular for the mobile professional bow-chika-wow in some Asian country. Caution - pub talk.

Nice bonnet emblem...

It's so crap and out of place it's cool.

I think Toyota only adopted that logo around 1990.

colm_mcm

89, but our 89 Corolla didn't have one.

Those wheel arch lips aren't original?

If the car was totally standard it would be more valuable. Those stickers on the front indicators, extra JDM badges front and back, the bonnet emblem (which isn't in the main photo), the wheels all take from its appeal for me.
Autobox is probably gash too.

It's still very old and therefore worth money. If it were more original, I'd say it'd be worth a good chunk of the asking.

A guy I know is into those Carinas and has a few. One in particular is a manual saloon in absolutely mint condition and it's worth about a third of the asking price for that liftback.

The interest and respect for classic Toyotas has grown greatly in recent years but some lads think anything with a Toyotoa badge is gold. Unfortunately, it's not yet.

He seems to be using grandma as the selling point, I wonder where grandma got it service between 31 and 52k.

Is that not the Honda engine the pics?? (not sure what they looked like in them)

If it is there the good engines, if its rovers own copy of it then yes heads would blow out at the sight of warm coolant

colm_mcm

It's a 1.4 K series.

Not sure what you mean by rovers "copy"?

edburg

Rover built there own version of the Honda engines they were supplied with. These were the engines that tended fail.

I don't know what engines were supplied, sizes/model etc, thought the rovers own didn't have twin cam and had plastic on top cover.

I can confirm rover are crap for sure though

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Ditto. Had two of them and both rovers left me on the side of the road. Absolute garbage.
