Description
The time has come to let "Orlando" go to another careful owner. We have owned this lovely little Corolla for over 12 years. It has seen my Daughter, Son and Brother through their driving lessons and tests over the past decade.
Apart from some localised corrosion see in pics this is a solid little car. Lots of life let in him and a future classic for sure. Brought from a family friend so know the history for over 15 years. Interior is almost as new, despite the mileage no tears, or wear to talk of. There are a few advisories that would enhance this car over time if the new owner wishes to attend. Only selling as he's sat in the garden as the children have all moved away with their new cars. Far to good to scrap so he has just had a brand new MOT done. This is trouble free motoring for the next 12 months minimum. Had a DIY service of oil, filters and plugs recently.
Central locking, power steering, CD radio head unit, 5 speed, manual window winders. Head lamp adjustment. Regularly started & driven around the village to keep everything working. Wheel chocks only used to prevent brake bind.
One of the most comfortable drives I have had, no rattles or clunks everything works as it should. A large bundle of service history & receipts in the glove box. Two keys & Toyota original service manual, space saver tyre & tool kit.
Not so good points - Alternator bearing noise, drivers door locks all the car but won't unlock. You have to get in from passenger side (security feature :)); some age related and learner knocks, scratches and bumps.
Good points - 300,000 miles life of a typical engine so only halfway there, very comfortable ride, cheap parts available all over the world. Kenwood CD/Radio detachable face unit.
