    Did you bring a mechanic with you??

    Yeah I brought one with me in the end. He couldn't get over the condition it was in. Only 40k miles and he was confident it was genuine, not bad for a 9 year old DC5!

    very happy, i was brought back to earth in another thread that its nothing too special but it ticked all my boxes. my previous list of cars includes a 92 fiesta 1.1, 94 and 97 1.0 micras and a 01 yaris so for me its pure luxury.

    looks respectable, will go on forever, very comfortable, reasonable running costs a very good spec inside and a toyota badge on the bonnet with a well documented history :P.

    i gave it a massive clean and basic service myself, then got new pads and discs all round and a clutch kit fitted and it goes like a dream.

    and hopefully capable of doing 400 miles a week for at least the next 2 years :pac:
    sorry for the essay but i love it :P

    I'd say at least the next 10 if it's looked after properly

    Well wear, I always wondered what they are like above a normal Corolla
