Well it looks like im going to get a company car now so IF I do, what price should I ask for for Sammy (my Sportivo)

He is a 2003 model (Bought in Oct 2003) and has 40,000 on the clock. Everything is original, it has the factory sports grill and the light up door sills.

Anything else I need to list?? What should I put as the asking price and what should I be prepared to drop to?.

Cheers guys

Yeah I know about redbook but I wanted more of a guage. The prices listed on there are a lot of the time simply wrong, they work off estimations of depreciation but sometimes the market pays more than a standard formula. Redbook don't use real time data all the time unfortunately.

When buying and selling use

www.redbook.com.au

to give you a good indication of what your car is worth.

Don't forget to add an extra grand for the spiffy aluminium door sills :P

Hehehe for sure :).

Its kind of sad. I want the company car because its going to save me $1,100 a month in loan, fuel, rego and insurance but I really am going to miss Sammy. He is the best car I have ever owned and when people get in him for the first time and comment on how awseome it is ESPECIALLY for a corolla im so proud.

I love him to bits but I also love $1,100 a month to bits too :D

Just had a look on carsales.com.au

The 2003 model has about the same K's on all the ones for sale and are listed for 24K - 25K :).

If I get 24K for it I don't need a loan to pay the gap :).

blade -

a mate of mine is actually a toyota/lexus salesman. he said when selling a car specially a fairly new one, don't just take the k's into account most of the time its also age.

he also said always go private don't sell it to a dealer. for a stivo that age be happy to get $24k for how old it is. if anything expect a little less. although it does depend on the person your selling it to. if you get someone willing that's good.

good tip is advertise it local newspaper and target students eg. yr 12's are getting their licenses. someone out there has a rich old man :D

good luck with the sale.

Yeah thats all good but if your car is not cascade blue its going to cost you as much to paint and purchase as it would to just purchase a brand new one in the colour you need :).

It all makes sense now :). As soon as I can confirm that im getting the company car then yes, we can do a trade. Man if I was a painter I would be respraying my Stivo to be Yellow, I reckon it would look seriously hot in a plasticy looking yellow colour :) Or even the blue that they use on the R34 Skyline's :).

      Long start time when engine warm - 2004 Corolla

      Hi guys, I’m a long time Toyota owner, and am currently enjoying a 2004 Corolla Wagon with the 1.8 1ZZ-FE. The car starts and drives really well, however during warm starts (after sitting for 5 minutes) the car cranks for around 6-8 seconds before starting. It’s worth noting the following: - The car starts right away in the morning or if it hasn’t been driven for a couple of hours. - There is no indication of rough idle or fluctuations when driving - Outside air temperature doesn’t seem to make a difference I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this issue? I’m leaning towards vapour lock in the fuel rail caused by leaky injectors? I’d appreciate any advice or if anyone has had a similar issue with their car. Thanks very much in advance, Oakley

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Hi gillystylez, the link for your car and stereo is https://aerpro.com/vehicles/toyota/toyota-rav4-2013 I am not to sure with yours but you will need the APP9 Harness and Patch Lead, double DIN facia plate, possibly the T Harness (for adding aftermarket bluetooth car kits), double check with a supplier of the kits (Super Cheap, Repco...) to make sure of what you will need and get a quote on fitment or harness. I had to buy HEAPS more cables with the JVC unit and it was very expensive. Hope that helps!

      Brand new Prado 2022 with intermittent engine/transmission stutter

      Gday Doug (600C), I have a 2023 GXL that from new that has a ‘whoo-whoo’ sound at similiar revs that you describe. Its most anoying at 75km/hour in top gear under load ie. up a slight hill. Toyota guy cant give an explaination but says he drove another one with only 1000kms on the clock and did the same. Have you found a cure or diagnosis at all?

      Corolla 2007/2008 ZRE152 2ZR-FE Hood insulator

      Hi, I've tried to get a hood insulator from Amayama OEM suppliers and Sydney wreckers with no luck. Wreckers usually sell hoods/bonnets with them attached. I called Toyota and unbelievably. they sell them for $700 plus. Is there a way to repair? or get some insulator material to make my own? My one is crumbling and cracked.

      Prado 2012 Issues starting first time, sometimes

      Hi all, For some reason my 2012 Prado is having dramas starting first time every so often. Regularly serviced 192k KMs. Sounds really rough during initial failed attempt to start. Then on second attempt will start fine no drama's. Sometimes I can hear a little bit of that initial struggle during a cold start and will still start. Everything else seems to be running fine. Thinking it could be a fob or immobiliser issue? Have had the same result with both main and spare key fob. Booked mechanic in a couple of weeks for diagnosis but hoping to point him in the right direction. First video is the no start and the second is immediately after appearing fine. Cheers! cold start fail.mp4 success.mp4
