looking at buying a Glanza soon .
The only ones that actually sell on ebay go for around £1500..
But some ask for around £3000 to £5000

I just want a normal nice condition glanza.
Is it too Much to ask for one for £2000 to £2500?

Shouldnt be.
I bought 2 in 2008. One I personally imported myself from Japan the other I bought on ebay. They were £3000 and £3300. Both black with between 44000 and 60000 miles. People overprice them, but at the end of the day there is nothing to them, its still a Starlet worth £500 with a fun turbo 1300 engine.
Stick to your budget, and avoid the auto's which are worth a lot less and are difficult to sell on.

Make them an offer. I imagine it will tempt them smile

When I was selling mine although it had lots of money sunk into it (Was forged and running 270bhp) I found it hard to sell and sold it for £2700 to the mechanic who did my mapping etc on it.

Great fun car, but I wanted something a little more serious. Definitely go for a manual

I looked a couple of years ago after seeing the OC buzzing round castle coombe at japfest but they were going for silly money considering what they are - a small ageing 1300.

Couldnt find a good one for less than £4k at the time.

I would love one just for a fun fast run about but the insuance was suprisingly steep then too. I would look for one thats forged and a folder full of reciepts.
