in that condition youll probably be able to sell it for 1-1.5k max
Hey People,
Ive picked up a 1992 Corolla GTI hatch.
Overall the car is in average condition. Paint on the roof is buggered, seems to have a small leak in the windscreen and the drivers seat needs replacing.
Most importantly the redtop 4AGE from what I can tell needs a rebuild. It is however running but burning lots of oil.
Car has never been in an accident but just is rather tired. it has a few little extras like exhaust and whiteline sway bars etc.
whats something like this worth? considering the engine is on its way out?
I grabbed this off a friend cos it was my best mates first car and is one of the greatest little FWD cars ive ever driven. it was basically given to me cos it has been parked under a tree for about 3-4 months and neglected. Would love to clean it up as a daily, but hesitant to spend much on it cos it will be a second car and i now have a mortgage.

yeah with rio, id throw a tag of 2k ono on it and see how you go.
my brother sold a ae92 sx that had been converted to blacktop, and by the sounds the engine/car was in much the same condition. he only got 2800 or something
your going to sell something you got for free from a mate? haha thats nasty
clean it up and drive it, or give it to me for free. (with free postage)

im gunna keep it for the short term as a daily. Im just currently not in a position to spend much on it.
it wasnt "free" but i got it cheap, i couldnt bare to see it scrapped which is were it was heading. The guy that owns it ive only met once or twice, but he bought it from my friend years back. Car was mint then.
but realistically i will prob everntually sell it. Its not something i planned, just sorta happened.

probably the head, just go do it yourself... nice to learn a bit if you haven't done it before if you win you win if you fail you fail.
then you will know whether to sell up or fix up...
this is what we did to my first car, and it still lives as a paddock basher today
Cool thanks for the feedback guys. I'll go through the car more thoroughly when i pick it it and let you know how I go.
Cheers

Ok funny story, I pick up the car knowing the engine is tired and leaking a lot of oil. The Seller stopped driving 2-3 months ago because of the uncontrollable oil leak. Any way i get the car home quickly and get it up on the ramps. Straight away I notice the oil cooler hose is where the obvious leak is. So i get some new hose and replace it. .........
I then noticed the oil filter is leaking. So i take it off to find the seal is rock hard. So a replace the oil filter and SNAP! no more oil leaks. Car drives like a dream!!! no more leaks
So happy to have and awsome daily =P
