this stuff is meant to last 'for life' but most MR2 owners change it every
4-5 years with for life.

air con can be pricy but worth fixing if you plan to re-sell as it'll shift
it quicker. probably needs a re-gassing approx ?500 i think?

Hasn't got the same "Woosh, Ohmygod...." factor of the Saab, but the
seats seem to suit me better, and it is loverly and smooth.
Tax until end of December, MOT until june, no body damage, no rust,
paint good except looks like a couple of supermarket carpark scrape type
scratches, nothing serious.

Dives great, but a little play (slight clonk, not big thud) at the rear
on deceleration.

Still still has the Toyota "For Life" bright red coolant. Going to
change all the other fluids over the next couple of weeks as I get used
to it. Makes full boost as it should.

Has a Thatcham cat 1 alarm and imobiliser, with the certificate.
Nothing messed with original 15" wheels, near new P7000's all round,
full bunch of paper work from the 1st "Toyota approved used buyer" pdi
check, right through to the last service.
Only problems are, cloth interior, and aircon doesn't work (well winters
near here, so I'll get some one to have a look as it looks like the fuse
has been pulled as the switch doesn't work).

H plate Celica GT4 4x4 turbo 137k miles, very near full service history.
Any guesses to how much?
He was selling it a few weeks ago for ?2300 but was getting messed
arround.
Had it advertised at ?2000 to move it.

a)?2k as he won't budge after dropping ?300 to resell?
b)?1900 because I was local and had cash?
c)?1750 because I am the next Mike Brewer, and he was a BMW owning
sucker who needed his drive back, and a 330 Coupe can't be cheap to have
parked on the road?

Prace bets now.....
