2005 Toyota Corolla Gl

Well what can I say?

Our fantastic Corolla has served us for 16 years without ever letting us down. It has criss-crossed the country, towed trailers, borne our bikes, loaded lots of luggage, and never missed a beat.

It’s been regularly serviced, and I’ve kept a record of things done to it since we bought it. Before then, it was serviced as a new car.

Although the mileage seems high, it is middle-aged for a Corolla! It’s likely to go on for another 200,000 km (but I can’t guarantee that!).

Overall it’s in reasonable condition for its age, and comes complete with the occasional ding and donk to save you having to be worried about parking it in a supermarket car park.

It’s relatively economical to run, particularly as you can save yourself $1000 or so by only taking out third-party insurance!

We’re only selling because we’re getting a bit older, and wanted a slightly higher car, so have succumbed and purchased a Corolla Cross (since you can’t beat a Corolla!)

I should mention the special features the car has: electric windows at the front and those wonderful old-fashioned wind up ones at the back that the younger generation doesn’t know what to do with! A radio and CD player (remember those?) Air-conditioning which is not contributing much to climate change either in the car or outside of it - but it does take the heat off just a little bit. Oh, it also has a towbar, cloth upholstery so that you don’t burn your legs when it’s hot and sunny (like you did on the old vinyl upholstery), two airbags and antilock brakes. It even has a cosy rear bench seat that splits 60/40 to suit all sizes.

BONUS OFFER; As a special June offer, we’ll even give the lucky purchaser two New World shopping bags, so that you can take your shopping home.
