JiP Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 They both seem pretty pricey. For that price they both would have to be in pretty good nic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmac80 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 go with the 55. has a more oldskool look than the 70. in my opinion a 70 needs a lot of work to look nice. but on the other hand the 70 has a better rear suspension setup. depends what you want oldskool? or in between. the 55 was the last rounded sorta car and the 70's are all really boxy.

Gspec Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ke55 - offer - $1000ke70 - offer - $1700 - $2000.... I need to act fast before they are snatched up! Who in their right mind "snatches up" a KE70 for that price with "minimal rust"!!!!!!!!!!! For that price you'd want NO RUST, no half assed mods, no half assed repairs, plenty of reg, a roady and a blow job. Be mindfull that both reg and roadies are not transferable interstate. AND That "minimal rust" in Corolla langauge means its FULL of rust. I got my KE70 home for $400 and i know i payed too much... $1700 - $2000 for a rusty rolla... You guys are crazy ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas_ae71 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 re read what he posted, he got the fiddy five. prices vary so much with corollas. there are a lot of c**ts out there who put huge grate big prices on them, like 2-3k for a average spec ke70. they say its a good car good on fuel blah blah, at the end of the day its a smeg box in every way apart from perhaps being reasonably reliable in some cases...

irokin Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Just don't complain when you go to sell your corolla and find the resale price is shite because everyone devalues them... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 At least its not a 70 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gspec Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Here it is ;) ................... Neato! I'm excited. If she's as clean in the flesh as she looks in the pic 1 fat gorilla is a fair price. Good find. :( Just don't complain when you go to sell your corolla and find the resale price is shite because everyone devalues them... ;) I wont have any problems with my Rolla: A) its my daily, i will be driving it for a long time B) if i lose money on the resale, i will have saved that and then some on the fuel and maintainance... good ol' 4K C) unlike most other Rollas i've seen for sale, mine will be rust free and repaired by a pro. Cut n shut... NO BOG!!! PLUS given the lack of of proper rust repairs i've seen, my rolla will be only 1 of only a small handfull of rust free KE70's! :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Don't wanna burst your bubble, but I went and had a look and that rear guard has had more bog put in it than a public toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
