Personally I wouldn't. There's far better cars out there at that kind of money that are better in every respect than a saloon Corolla.

ya I would agree with David, but everyone to their own:)

120k on a 1.4 petrol , year old Corolla is a huge clock. Even in a private sale I'd reckon you'd want that car for under 10 grand.

Unless you are doing 3-4k per year then that car is always going to have a big clock , you'll never bring the average down relative to the year if you drive the average amount of miles per year youself.

TBH I'd avoid that car unless it stupidly cheap and I really mean stupid. 7500 - 8 grand max. You'll never get it for that but I wouldnt care if you dont. 12 grand buys this from a dealer .... http://www.carzone.ie/search/Toyota/Corolla/BIG-DISC/201013197443909/advert?channel=CARS

he said 120,000km not miles, so its only run in tbh.it will last forever.

I agree with Saab Ed, 8k max for it with that mileage.

Agreed .... but at a price.

120km is still 80 odd miles on a 2 year old car. Thats off the wall for the type of car that it is and its potential buyers.

OT but why the hell did someone doing 40k miles a year buy a 1.4 petrol corolla in the first place?
