Worth it for those alloys alone

That Corolla looks pretty much correct for a 99 spec Irish car.

They did change the seat trim and added that grill on 99 spec last of the bugeye before the 2000 facelift.

The diesel we have here has ABS as well which i though was standard.

Has the trim badge for the Irish spec on the back.

colm_mcm

Yeah, it’s Irish spec.

Duke O Smiley

Comes back on Motorcheck as a Terra yeah

My 97 is too, and over it, it has colour coded bumpers, mirrors & handles, "chrome" grille, fogs, electric windows, rev counter, immobiliser and probably ABS.

Old diesel, I've got the Irish market 97 brochure in front of me, and that silver ("chrome") grille is an option..

Yep 98 one here that got a/c and the chrome grill as options too.

Yes all those extra features were added to the 99 Irish Terra spec. Except I'm not sure whether the immobiliser was factory fit as I've never noticed anything on ours to indicate it had one. Key looks normal for example.

Never realised the grill could be specced on earlier be versions.

Edit its possible I've got an immobiliser but we don't seem to have a master key like Fiat and Fords of the era no flashing red light etc.

Duke O Smiley

Actually, immobiliser was standard across the range (in 97) according to my brochure, so yours likely has one

Don't see many a/c..

I don’t think front fogs were added. Even the old XLi Corollas had an immobiliser. The non immobiliser keys are very very thin.

Immobilisers became mandatory on all new cars sold in the EU in 1998

Irish spec ones definitely did not have a/c as standard back then, even the most expensive ones. Sure they only bothered to fit it to all Irish spec ones about a year or two ago!

The last few posts have reminded my of a story from a cousin who was a Garda in the south east, sometime in the late 90's. He was picking up the new Corolla patrol car for his station in Dublin and on the road back to Wexford someone pulled out in front of him in wet conditions. He jammed on the brakes and never having experienced ABS before, thought he had somehow broke the car. By the time he he had it figured out, the other car was long gone, lucky for him.

Again, probably irrelevant to strict Bangernomics but those Corollas were butt ugly at launch and time has been even less kind. I'd die a little every time I got into it. The motoring equivalent of driving an ugly fridge freezer.

Long winded but presumably the tax is wrong in the advert? 268 euro for a 2 litre petrol?

Road tax of 268 ? Could have sworn the road tax on a 2004 2.2 litre car was closer to 1000 ;-)

KERSPLAT!

It was probably taxed for 3 months and they saw €268 on the disc?

2101-2200 cc is €268 per quarter.
I'd say the person placing the ad just read it off the disc not realising that it is only for 3 months.

It's an Irish spec terra corolla with the chrome grill, a/c and alloys as options. Grandparents bought it new in 1998 in Swinford Motors.

Leonard Hofstadter

That's a nice E60, although very plain looking. Glorious M54 engine as well, worth buying it for that alone, although being a 2.2 it will be on the slow side. First thing anyone who buys it should do is change the gearbox oil and then they'd get years out of it.

The luna did and came with the front fogs too and rear electric windows and abs. I only ever seen them in liftback.

The luna (which is what I think the one in the pic is, ad is gone so cant see the interior) was higher spec compared to the 99 terra. It came with front fogs, electric windows in the rear a/c and semi bucket seats, the same as on the g6 and the e11 facelift, just with different upholstery. All e11 corollas came as standard with a factory fitted immobilizer.

The black keys are the master keys and the grey key is the valet key on those old corollas.

Earlier xli's didn't but later ones did.

While we are looking at E60's, this one has been on there for a week or two, has new NCT until Jan 2020 and also taxed until the end of March.
At €1500, I'm surprised it's still listed and still being bumped

The liftback and the estate are ugly but the saloon is ok and the 3door is nice in facelift form especially in silver.

Tbh I think it's ignorant to call them a fridge freezer because most cars in that class aren't exciting or meant to be exciting.

For it's intended purpose that model of corolla was very good and very well engineered which is why they have stood the test of time better than any car in that class from that era.
