Well after owning a corsa since i was 17 (now 21). It was time for me to get a new car. Ive had a look at 4 this week all really local to each other. One poped up for sale yesterday evening on ebay, phoned up today went to view it this after noon, didnt have to think about it twice.
Corolla t sport facelift model, 54k.
Before i collect it, it will be serviced, 6 months tax 12 months mot full valet stone chips will be sorted on the bonnet and 4 brand new avons will go on.

what bhp/torque are they?
doesn't look anything special but if they go well then it's a perfect 'wolf in sheeps clothing' car

they got a slagging buy the press when they were new as a hot hatch goes there abit pants/soft . for what i wanted mine for which is driving on the road not a racetrack its spot on comfy and has abit of poke when you want it. its a fvcker to keep in the power tho, comes on cam at 6k and rev limit is just over 8k and gearbox is very close, have to really mean it to drive it hard.
there allso quick but people dont know it, there not a chavs/wankers car and old fvckers never flash you call you a wanker or anyting for driving past them.

thats what made me go for them the insurance is so cheap on it compared to everything else i mean i dont go out tearing up the streets or anything i just want a car thats reliable but also something that has some poke and doesnt stand out like a sore thumb

I was going to go for a derv one of them but couldn't find any nice facelifts in the right mileage for the money.
That looks lovely though. Nice choice.

thats the trouble i had there was one with 41k but the bonnet and bumper has slight damage to it and that was up at 6k, then i seen this mileage on this is still under average but had to compermise on it if i wanted the body work in good condition
