As stated it has a small amount of bubble rust on both arches.
Sick of tyre kickers who want an "immaculate" 16 year old car. It stops starts & is reliable, open to offers above £400. Must go in the next week or so as won't have the space..
So don't want to E&ay it! pale

It doesn't have a problem, its just not as smooth as the one I took out. Notchy- as in you cannot drive it like a race car & change hard through the box, which I have no intention of doing & never have done.
Im probably being far too honest & picky.
Im so used to driving brand new cars daily.
The corolla has been used daily & very well maintained, I just dont have the time to sort any niggles, dont have the space & moving house all this month!
If its worth the money broken, then make an offer. Wink
