1997 Toyota Starlet Gl
Description
Fresh from its photo shoot at the “Rivera of the South” (photo 1), a vehicle that is as at home among the Audis of Nelson’s elite (photo 2) as it is illegally parked on the mean streets of Nelson South (photo 3).
Lovingly and regularly serviced at Pages Automotive, and described by one of their mechanics as “the best damn car I have ever worked on, but don’t quote me, please”.
Save money on insurance. No one would dare steal; you only need to worry about third parties who will always come off second best.
Also save money on fuel. I’ve changed the battery more recently than I’ve had to fuel up. Does this make the Starlet the OG EV? Maybe…
The Starlet has something for everyone. Whether you are an RMO with a massive imposter syndrome wanting to impress your superiors. Whether you have been unlucky in love and just need that confidence in a car to take you to the next level. Whether you are a down on your luck middle aged man with a wife and kids who clearly think you’re past your prime, and want to show them you still have it. Whether you are a 16-year-old girl who is looking for her perfect first car (let’s be honest, it’s probably this one).
No buy nows. Auction will run its course. Pick up strictly on Sunday 7th or 14th of December.
Viewers welcome. But only times will be the morning (0800-1200) of Saturday 8th or 29th of November. Contact me to make a time.
