wow thats actually in really good shape ...

What's your opinion on the corolla atm?

it seems to drive well, only problems are

Right brake light not working

Dash - top half of the plastic is missing

Cracked headlights on the front

Aircon not working

It needs a CV Joint

That model DOES have a left side mirror so will need to put one on

Passenger windows winder thingo

The immobiliser he may be able to pay for ...

I also found a radiator hose and timing belt in the booth .. :s

Should I pass it back to him or just try and get him to pay for the immobiliser if hes willing?

That civic (red one in my list) was alright, good shape and all ... but a bit too new i like old cars LOL

the auto 88 corona is pretty nice, good interior and all .. HAS AIRCON

the celica is sporty and quite cool

cant decide if i should return the rolla and try for one of those (bet half of em are sold knowing my luck) or just stick to my rolla and get the immobiliser on

Yeah the things wrong with the car are not big problems though I should fix the brake light asap

He did say he was willing to take the car back as he didnt know the actual age of the car and so just randomly put 1980 so he said that was his bad .. if i return the car/get the immobiliser on i'd pay for half of it I reckon cos he was real fair to me and stuff so yeah

Bob the bunky is gone

I asked the owner if he wanted to go halves on the immobiliser, he said he'd rather just wait until the car was 25 years old and didnt need an immobiliser anymore so we swapped back confused.gif

Ah ok, makes sense haha.

And no lol, no AC.

I just checked out a suzuki swift tonight, no AC no PS no central locking, no tacho, no EW.

Car was immaculate though lol. 1.3L carby and all.

$1850, pretty damn tempted cause its that good... Even though missing lots of luxuries...

Decision time..

    • I mean nah, lets be honest it's significantly worse. BMW's are absolutely not the same age, replacements are not the same level of robustness. Most would say an E36 is more solid than an E90X and I would still say an E36 is a little more rickety than your equivalent R chassis over time. BMW pretty much have a huge void between E36 and anything with a B58/ZF onward. I kinda get the appeal if they work, but they just don't. I get that the vibe is "do a track day in executive comfort" but in all seriousness, a VE Commodore is as comfortable and certainly more solid* around a track, and they are hardly up there in the high list of "Excellent track cars". See also: Barra Turbo with coilovers or _something_. I mean a great deal of these cars/choices are always irrational, but I at least try to stay rational, or at least have some rational argument why I did X and not Y :D. My pet peeve is irrational badge snobbery. There is no reason to buy a Luxury SUV when anything from Kia will do the job better, and cheaper. I know someone who has a twin turbo diesel X5 making 400kw or whatever and as soon as he opens his mouth I say nothing but "You are an idiot who has wasted your money" and tell him to buy a Tesla Model X/Y as it is superior to anything he will do with that car. (he does not like this, but he deserves it, just trust me..) But Prank seems like a nice guy. I want him to sell this 335i before sadness kicks in more and buy something far happier at the track, like an 86, or a Megane RS, or an Evo, or even save the money on mods and buy a 440i/240i/etc and bypass the painful years between 1997 and 2015 for BMW.
    • Haha most are for LHD though!  
    • Honestly, can't be worse than Skyline ownership which is also a mess considering the age of these things. The 335i at least you can still get parts easily.
    • Looks nice Shan. Every time you post its about a different car! 
    • Nice one! You wont know the old girl when all that's installed. My alignment was absolutely horrid when I did my front end. The car just wanted to go in circles and it was so heavy to straighten up. I totally thought I'd stuffed it.
