silverra23 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Prices vary dramatically with condition. Project cars that needs lots of work are 2 or 3... But a good one is at least 5 grand, and probably more like 8 grand. There is one for sale on carsales at the moment for 10 grand I think.

parrot Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I've PM'd you about a car of interest (no not mine). Check you have your PM's turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerondownunder88 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Value if it is a RRR (running, reliable, rego) expect around 10 grand. There is one for sale in Brisbane near you atm for $9000. Is nto original 4K motor been cut up for after market exhaust CD player etc. Also is a base model so not an SE or SL. So no fancy features. Mine is an SL with all features apart from under dash tray. I had to put a new engine in car as original was dead. Atm car is valued over 11 grand. Reason why mine is not worth more is my body work has had 2 minor hits so is not perfect. And I did an engine swap. So a good condition one that is SL or SE atm could fetch about 16 grand that value was obtained through shannons insurance who had recently seen one sell for that value Cheers Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrot Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 It really depends on whether you want an original car or not, and how much of the fruit it has. Most seem to have had at least a motor change and possibly a 5 speed. I never quite appreciated how hard it was to find the various bits and pieces of trim until I started looking myself. I think there are a few guys on here with cars in various stages of incompleteness trying to find the bits they need to have a complete car. And by that I don't just mean the SL stuff. There is no doubt the relative value of KE1x's is on the increase, and 15/17's are that bit rarer again. But on the other hand, I don't know that there are that many people ready to actually put their hand in their pocket and hand over substantial sums quite yet.

silverra23 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think you are on it there parrot... its one thing to say and ask for 10 or 15K... its another thing entirely to have the car together to ask that... and then find someone to pay for it. for what ever reason our old Toyotas still arent loved as much as the old Dattos and Mazdas.

Tally Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) because really corollas were marketed towards ladies... were not really considered desirable at all... but as they are now considered an old car and hard to find things are changing and we now have corolla community's such as rollaclub... these cars were shopping trolleys hahaha and the stigma that is attached to the name corolla doesn't help either but the model corolla that will appreciate in value the most in Oz will be the first generation KE1# series Edited August 23, 2010 by Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
