I've never seen the attraction to those, I'd imagine anyone wanting one wouldn't buy it butchered like that one with all his "upgrades"
"put full leather seats in... " look like full vinyl seat covers to me.
Full leather? There's more leather on the soles of my shoes than in that car!
None of his "upgrades" really count as butchery in my eyes. Not sure about the seat covers, but generally they don't do anything good or bad for the car, imo.
The bigger problem is it's just a Toyota Corolla. A 28 year old Toyota Corolla. On what planet is it worth €7500?
There seems to be an occasional belief from sellers that an old car that's been minded = €€€€€€€€€. But if there was nothing special or interesting about the car when it was new, chances are it won't be desirable 30 years later.
If it was in original showroom condition I could see the attraction to a Toyata fanactic/anorak
but nowhere near this asking price. Mental money and mental that some folk think they are worth
this.
You leave the 'rollas alone you scut….. I've had more near-death experiences as a child with the grandmother 'behind' the wheel in one of those than worth counting. I'd love one for the thrill alone. Goosebumps thinking about the rubber gearstick gaitor and non-requirement to service it, ever.
That lad is gas though, fair play Thomas thanks for the entertainment
It's a real head turner though, apparently.
He’s obviously pricing in the price premium for it being on the cheap tax in 2 years time now. If there weren’t so many photos, I’d say that this is a wind up.
Haha, an auld lads car if there ever was one.
They were usually ran into the ground by farmers
My first ever car was a 1.3 saloon Corolla in the same colour as this one (1994 reg)
I sold it for about 2000 euros in 2007 in perfect working condition
€56 < €385
Since when is Toyota Corolla considered a real head turner :)
€330 saving in yearly road tax from 2026 is not going to sell that car though.
If it's desirable at €56 per year it'd be desirable at €385. And it isn't.
100%. These were the equivalent of Dacia Dusters or whatever else today back in the 90’s. You can see it across the classic car market, these lower end, white goods cars never attract a premium (except in England where they w@€£ themselves silly over BL and Rover dustbins!)
On that one, you could at least argue that a greater portion of BL and Rover dustbins were scrapped (or died of rust) and as a consequence they're somewhat rarer now than a 90s Corolla.
Down to 6,500 now. Buy buy buy!
I'm taking out a car loan as we speak!!!
A quick flight to the UK and you'll get one in similar condition without the dogshit mods for less than 1/3 of his asking, that is if you can be bothered to import a fuckin farmers car.
You are now a cranky old man... There is no coming back for you.. I'm sorry 😂
The rosary beads hanging from the rear view mirror would suggest one careful lady owner who only drove it to mass and the bingo.
A certain ethic community would be found of hanging the rosary beads from the rearview mirror.
Some of the Rover/Honda era stuff was pretty cool tho. Plus you have the whole "made in britain" thing too, so they have some excuse. The Irish fascination with bog standard corollas I don't get.
What's turning my head is that it appears as right hand drive in some photos and left hand drive in others!
Who.. Nuns
I don't think he's referring to nuns specifically. Just anyone involved in the Catholic church sector generally.
Ah yes.. Thanks for the confirmation
At least some people still get jokes around here 😂
