What have you done to your car today?

I also like the " 0-60 can be achieved in x.x seconds if you drive it off a cliff" statement you've somehow felt the need to add in.

Looks hugely expensive tbh - you're not a trader and won't be able to command the same sort of asking

Remove the sticker on the back, every car I’ve seen with one of those has been owned by the last type of person I’d want to buy a car from.

It's a good job you're not in a huge rush given it's about 50% over book!

Considering the spec list.... No not really. Sorry, forgot you know everything about everything, I'll re-list it at unmodified 100K mile+ grey Corolla T-Sport money right away. :rolleyes:

I've had interest at £2750 and am following up on a few messages, and theres an offer of £2400 on the table which I've rejected for now.

When I bought it, it was the best T-Sport for sale and various people vouched for it being the nicest one they have seen. I paid £2250 for it. Since then it has had £1K easily spent on it on modifications and other bits. I'd take £2650 for it.

Only included that because nobody really knows or considers these when looking for a hot hatch. Its also pretty easy to achieve...

Looks Barried. Take the crap off

‘Fast road’ is such a naff description.

Spec list? It's a 13 year old Corolla with the usual list of eBay bolt ons. Mods don't add 50% to a cars value!

Shove off you bore.

To the rest of you, ta, I'll tweak the title and description and take new pics without the "chopped fingers" sticker.

Im happy being a bore if exciting is adding coilovers to a Corolla only to flog it 3 weeks later

Meh, I fitted the coilovers and wheels at a cost of like £800 in the hope it would help me fall back in love with it, it didn't really. Its really good, but I've had it a year and I'm bored.

I genuinely believe that if it had none of the modifications, it would be the best one on the market today. The history is superb, the MOT history is clean, the bodywork is excellent.

It is a ready to go package with all the extras T-Sport owners usually want to add themselves. Bigger wheels, better suspension, and an intake being the main three. Hence the level of interest I have received already I imagine, regardless of your doubts.

Ad has been revised.

Worst thing is you've spelt Michelin wrong right after you've spelt it correctly.

Crap.

e; fixed...

Chopped fingers gone, title edited, price lowered a bit, (as I said, I want 2650, if I list it at 2650, people will offer 2450... If its 2850 and people offer 2450, I can counter with 2650...)

Acme, sell it for what you think it's worth. If someone thinks it's worth the same they'll buy it. May take a day may take a couple of weeks.

Akagi · 28 Oct 2018 at 19:32

Already had another offer in of £2500 which is pending. I've said that I can do that if I put the original 16" wheels back on. He's thinking about it.

I'd take that with the compressors on.

Its only been a couple of hours. I'm still confident its worth the 2750 I originally wanted.

So you're trying to sell it for £2650, but in the ad you'll swap it for an MX5 worth less than (<) £1000? Sounds sensible. Sounds like your car is definitely worth £1650 more than what you want to swap it for.

Part exchange is not the same as a swap.

Akagi · 28 Oct 2018 at 19:53

What have I done...

Diagro · 28 Oct 2018 at 20:00

If it wasn't for the paint issues, I would have said it's worth what you want. But it needs some paint so... Nah

Obviously, but swap is what was stated, not px.

You're evidently looking at a different advert to me then, as the word swap doesn't appear in it :confused:

"No P/X unless it is for a MK1/2 MX5 with a value of <£1000"
