    One of my first cars was a 93 salmon coloured corolla.
    Got it for free and the only issue I ever had with it were both the cv boots failed. 20 euro later and it was back on the road.
    Surprisingly nippy and good on fuel.
    Great yoke to go.

    That Corolla takes me back. Funny looking radio in that one. Thought the came with a Kenwood originally.

    Yeah its definitely not familiar, I'd guess just a nondescript replacement for whatever reason.

    The whole car really screams Priest/nun's car!

    That’s a Blaupunkt ACR3250. Probably came out of a mini.

    I had a 97 one of those Corollas, was a xli plus which had "extras" like central locking and cool white backlit speedo and rev counter. Definitely had a more modern Kenwood stereo than the one in that car.

    I sold a cleaner 96 non “plus” model 12 years ago (incidentally with similar service history and one owner) for less money than that, it had a Kenwood stereo too, but not the quick release one the earlier ones had.

    I remember those quick release stereos in the Carina II my father had, the front bezel of the stereo used to pop off as an anti theft feature. You got a little box holder for it too. I think most people either didn't bother or just put the bezel into the glove box.

    I remember too that they brought out a special edition Corolla hatchback around 95 called the Ceres which came in one or two exclusive colours that were in fashion at the time, I think everyone that bought one went with the Cyan colour but I think I seen one in lavender once too. They got nicer fabric seats also but not sure what else they got that the normal one didn't have. Back then central locking or power mirrors were rare in that class of car.

    With the ones in the earlier Corollas you’d flip a handle up and actually slide the stereo out! There were no plugs to line up or anything.

    If the Corolla doesn't float your boat..have this clergy-owned Metro!

    Hard to believe you would buy a car and then discover it is too powerful?

    Obviously will sell quite easily, being on carsireland and being a €58k private sale.

    I'd say he's on 9 points and bricking it.

    I’d say he’s trying to sell for pretty much what he paid for it.
    I think the too much power line is a bit of a tall tale. You don’t stumble into buying a 530d by mistake and then fit black grilles too.

    Too powerful? They have a lovely bit of power alright but the way the seller is talking you would swear it was a M5 they were selling.

    And probably financed to the hilt. Probably be a bargain there in a few weeks for anyone able to sort through the overpriced nonsense and sort that sort of money for a private sale.
