BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day Part 6

Duke O Smiley

I think he has it priced at what a tidy 4 door EP91 Starlet would command, and they need to become desirable first before a Yaris can follow suit.

It is an interesting little car though and definitely one worthy of preservation like I was saying last night, it has all the right hallmarks IMO. Those hub caps are wonderful.

Would I be right in saying that all 96-99 Starlets sold here had power steering?

Toyotafanboi

Not all of them, only the later ones (98 and 99?), the ones with the nicer interior patterns.

I had a 96 that didn't have it. The ones with the 4 spoke steering wheel didn't have it but the ones with Toyotas multi purpose 3 spoke wheel did.

I have a light blue 3 door 98 1.3 S here with power steering. Think S is basically the same as Irish ones but doesn’t have the weird multicoloured rubbing strips on the side

Debating whether to restore it. Hasn’t been driven since 08.
Seriously tidy car. Might need a donor car for bits or she might just fire right up.
Donor car would be easier than scouring scrapyards for bits.



Same as this

My dilemma is that it probably is worth very little either way.

Toyotafanboi

You kept that quiet :pac:

Shouldn't need a whole lot to get it going, being from the good era of 'Yotas.

colm_mcm

Yeah, part of me thinks it would just need a jump start!

I do know that one caliper seized about 10 years ago ahd rather than replacing it I just removed it si u could move the car. It at least needs

4 tyres
4 wheels (has scabby Wolfraces, would prefer steelies for authenticity)
Oil change
Timing belt/wp and coolant
New discs and pads
At least 1 caliper
Drums probably seized

So once I fix it up, would I even be arsed driving it?

Toyotafanboi

2 or 3 hundred would get you a long ways there. You'd get a good second hand caliper, probably get decent second hand wheels and tyres and sure the serviceable bits wouldn't be much.

#jealous.

Similar to the Glanza at this stage, would definitely need pads and discs and 4 tyres at this stage.

I’m driving a 4 door 1.3 Solida at the minute, which has power steering and electric windows in the front. Cadbury’s purple in colour and plain jane rub strips. Not a trim or colour offered on Irish cars I don’t think

I honestly thought they all had power steering.

The standard uk one def didn’t have it anyway.

They had a load of special edition Starlets in the UK, I remember an advert from around 1997 where they had a cake box like mr Kipling French Fancies full of Starlets, it said “Mr Toyota does make exceedingly good cars” or something.


Must look for it!

The fact it's a 3dr would make me say it's worth tidying up. They've become quite hard got especially with clean bodywork and in a nice colour.

A very early Yaris, with tiny mileage, and no power steering. And those cool oem hubcaps.

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I think this is something well worth preservation

Why is there no history on the NCT cert?

Would indicate that it has been off the road since before 2017

The second ad sounds like it is being narrated by Katie Hopkins

Toyotafanboi

One for the mad IMO.

No test on it, openly needs work for the test, bodywork and interior in flitters.

She's a lot of things but a bangernomic it isn't.

Would actually be a good buy, one of the last Japanese built Yaris' before the French factory came online. Would probably survive a nuclear bomb along with the cockroaches.

Yeah, eh, back to bangers, or something like that!

Can i ban myself? I've never tried.

What do you make of that Fiesta

TigerTim

Back to bangernomics. Nice clean Yaris with NCT to 10/21. Maybe needs to be a bit cheaper.

Ah lads there is surely another thread somewhere there to be discussing Kona's and the relative economics of EV's. It was probably intended as a throw away comment by someone in the first place.

2008 Citroen C4 1.6 HDI with new NCT

I wouldn't be overly quick to post a Citroen generally and I know the 1.6 HDI engine is not held in very high regard by many but if that Full Main Dealer Service history he mentions shows it to be serviced on time every time etc....
It's seems not a bad spec but I would have thought it would have had leather if it was top spec as he mentioned.

The invoice is dated 2020, €1580 spent including a new EGR valve, full engine service, gearbox service, break discs. New tyres. Long NCT. Cheap tax

Looks like a good buy if you get a couple hundred off the asking price

Seller must be having a laugh, TBH.

Mentions "new NCT", but the NCT in the picture shows there's only 2 months left of NCT left. NCTS states 24/02/2021 as the NCT expiry date.
Doubt there's any tax on it. Imported.

User1998

Its probably just back dated, it’s most likely still a new NCT considering its still attached to the certificate. €50 and you’d have a fresh years NCT

Seems you're correct; date on the NCT looks to be 18/11/2020
Always find it odd that they don't just drop the €50 to have a fresh NCT?

User1998

You’ve some set of eyes! But yeah surely an extra €50 would add multiples of that in value to the car.
