Ok, It's not going to set the world on fire, but it's mine and I like it. I normally buy cars based on my needs at the time. This one is no exception, Purchased in Nov 2008 after changing jobs and needing a car to commute 80 miles a day in mainly on the M/way.

It's a 1998 Toyota Celica 1.8 ST. The slow one. However it's perfect for my needs.
Purchased from the original owner who in 10 years had done 19,000(nineteen)miles in it ,Full Toyota service History from new along with every bill(Bill of sale just over £19000 New) and MOT, Had never been driven in the wet and never been through a car wash, always garaged and according to the owner no one had ever sat in the rear seats.

The car is as you can imagine in spotless condition, It's completely standard, The only thing that I have changed is the Original Radio Cassette, This has been Changed to a Radio / CD unit with Built in iPod control. It's now covered 53000 miles, Serviced Every 6000miles and is hopefully still in the same condition as when I purchased it.

I'm not a fan of Japanese cars, I'm sorry. Can I ask what size those wheels are? They look tiny

It's one of the things I like about ph actually. That someone can come on with a find like this and get the same enthusiasm as a new ferrari.

(Ive probably just jinxed this thread now!)

Couldn't agree anymore, it's not what you pay but how they make you feel and with all sorts of people into different types of cars it's great to see what people turn up with.

Very clean car, nice find.
