I just got rid of my '91 Corolla with blown head and oil seals, called up local wrecking company and they gave $50, some others give more if they dont have to drive as far or if decent condition. Also more if it has wheels.

500 for an FE? Bro take the $120 and run! I sold the exact same engine 10 years ago for $150 when I transplanted a 4AGE. No one wants em anymore, let alone an FE lols

Unless it's under $1000 and registered, spook won't touch it. I miss my corolla :( http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm190/pointyfork/cars/all_zpsc603b145.jpg such an awesome car (4AGE) |

how much fixa bro?
ill trade you a mostly working corolla and throw in some cash ($1000) and then play you at killer instinct and let you win! |

I'll keep an eye and ear out spook

Hey whoop did you end up selling your rolla?
Spook you can keep your mostly working rolla, let you win KI and you give me 8.5k for the Spazda. Everyone is a winner! |
05:42pm 18/09/13 Permalink
$8500!?!?!??!?!!?!?!??!?!
ARE YOU INSANE!? |
05:43pm 18/09/13 Permalink
but spook, it will be 8x less likely to need a part rebuilt
80x less likey to not need any welding for 8+ years and petal will love it (also about 8x safer, cheaper to run, and it's blue is the same blue all over the car) |
06:07pm 18/09/13 Permalink
the best part about all of this is that spook spent $1000 on major servicing for a $1000 corolla not too long ago
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahah |

the best part about all of this is that spook spent $1000 on major servicing for a $1000 corolla not too long agohaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahah so what you're saying is, the money spook spend on the service, was deducted from the purchase price, and that is it's new worth? (i'm just guessing the $50 is cause the tank is full) |
06:17pm 18/09/13 Permalink
$8500!?!?!??!?!!?!?!??!?!My man, this is the 2.3L sports version (SP23) not your standard 2L, stiffer suspension plus you get the lil extras like rims, spoiler, clear tail lights and indicators, foggies and it's auto so Petal will love it. AND it's the cooler hatch version and not your bloated sedan puff fish. These go for 10k plus! |

hey fixah, how much is on the clock dude? sorry no pm resetting password as we speak !
|
06:36pm 18/09/13 Permalink
187000 km's with a few months rego, hence the reduced price, but also open to reasonable offers.

It was no slug but also when you fold the rear seat down you could carry heaps of s***. I miss that. Not missing the lack of aircon though ever since getting the a/c fixed in my present car. Full auto climate control awwwww yissssssss. |

sweet , what year is it? , talking it over with 'the boss' lol, we got a great deal from snakeman years ago with his 323, just done 205k and its a 2000 model ! still stoked !

Considering you never win with cars, evar, $2k in depreciation and servicing is pretty cheap for running a car for a year. There's plenty of people who think nothing of buying a $12k car, spending $600 on twice yearly servicing and then trading it in 3 years later for $5k.

the best part about all of this is that spook spent $1000 on major servicing for a $1000 corolla not too long ago That is pretty funny. I have some 15" Rolla steel wheels and hub caps, what do I do with them? |
08:09pm 18/09/13 Permalink
Wait, why not fix the gear box? Looks like a decent car.
|
08:30pm 18/09/13 Permalink
expensive, theres no decent gear boxes around, its a $1000 car.
|
08:38pm 18/09/13 Permalink
it probably just needs new tranny fluid
|
10:18pm 18/09/13 Permalink
Spook knows all about Tranny's and their fluids!
Maybe you could have a QGL bonfire and we can all sit around toasting marshmallows as the rolla burns away? last edited by mission at 07:11:55 19/Sep/13 |

Spook see if there are any scrap yards who will take it for raw materials.
My AE92 corolla was written off a few years ago, I managed to score $300 for its corpse just as 'metal'. |
08:27am 19/09/13 Permalink
yer, we tried wreckers, most didnt want it, apparently scrap metal aint worth squat now;
hoping hardware can find someone who wants parts/good engine; |
10:10am 19/09/13 Permalink
Ebay the engine, scrap the car.
If it's carby 4AF, set it on fire. |
10:21am 19/09/13 Permalink
But if you spend the money the car should last another few years right? Isn't it worth it then?
|
11:07am 19/09/13 Permalink
the motor is excellent greazy, so yer, if i coudl find a decent quality gearbox and put it in, i am sure i would get a couple more years from the old girl.
petal has never liked my car and she wont let me spend any more money on it though :( |
11:53am 19/09/13 Permalink
get your gearbox looked at? might only cost a couple of hundred
lol @ blokes who have to consult their wives too. I hear so much of that s***. If I have a job and I'm earning my own money she can go f*** herself and I'll spend my spare dosh on whatever I want. |
05:10pm 19/09/13 Permalink
lol @ blokes who have to consult their wives too. haha lols this goes well beyond 'consulting' she orders and spook does it |
05:37pm 19/09/13 Permalink
thought you ditched the old chain and ball spook? Looks like a good car, i was totally jealous that you got an awesome deal like that. If I was in brisbane I would give you my pocket change (literally I save it in jars) for the car.
Too bad. |
06:10pm 19/09/13 Permalink
I'm not good with car tech, though I do my way around Toyotas
if you would like, I could help you out |
10:05pm 19/09/13 Permalink
...though I kinda think you just want someone to work for you for free..
|
10:10pm 19/09/13 Permalink
This thread has been a good chuckle. Spending $900 on a car worth not even $1000. The wife not letting you spend your own money. Thanks :)

10:36pm 19/09/13 Permalink
dont need a hand koopz, need someone to give me money for my engine.
|
04:56am 20/09/13 Permalink
The wife not letting you spend your own money lemme guess bro, yuo single? (or you picked your misses out of a catalogue) besides, everyone knows it would be a complete disaster (for my family) if i had control of my money |
