I just been debating with my friend that the Corolla Sportivo can hold good resale value after a few yrs and with a couple of thousand ks.

He says Honda cars like DC5R hold better value and its better of me to get one since a new Sportivo would set me back $32k drive away anyway.

But then again im aiming for a brand new car and i just went to a Terry Shield Toyota dealer at parra today and saw a nice white Sportivo :)

So can anyone here maybe tell me if they bought a 2nd hand sportivo and for how much also with how many kms.

Don't bother with second hand. They are not worth it. Besides, the only second-hands you are likely to find are pre-facelift models.

Just get a brand new 05 Sportivo for $27K on road.

there are some good second hand ones out there mate.

i got mine new however ya loose value the second you drive out the dealership.

plus if you get second hand one you might be lucky and all the little issuses will be already sorted. youll probably save yaself 3 to 6 grand on a secondhand sportivo.

that money you could put to any mods ya might wanna do to it. plus you could get one still under warranty aswel.

but at the end of the day its upto you.

only good thing about new is that from day one ya know how its been drivin and theres nothing like the brand new car smell/felling.

but if its just about cash maybe go secondhand mate.

ya could be lucky and get one thats had all the modds done already and still pay less than new.

anyway goodluck mate

p.s

if you do buy secondhand keep an eye on this site a few dudes have sold theres and there have been some nice ones.

$27,000 drive away? Where at?

I went to a dealer today to check out the cost and if i can remember,

About $28,900 for the car, dealer charges $1095, Rego $250, CTP $335, Stamp Duty $909.

So the on road cost is approximately $2600.

In total would cost about $31600. I wonder how much further they can discount.

I got mine for $27,500 driveaway including bonnet protectors/headlight protectors and car mats. Got mine just over a month or so ago.

Which state do you live in and suburb?

$27500, sounds very good for the sportivo. How did you guys managed to haggle the price down? Tips n tricks people?

If your really ready to put down the bikkies the dealer will do you a deal thats almost a guarantee, especially if its getting toward the end of the month and they're down on their quota.

When your really ready attack the dealerships!

So does that mean go to old shabby dealerships with no cutomers or go to big dealerships with too much stock??

Make your own mind up on that one. Some people are after the cheapest price possible. Others would prefer to pay a little more to know they are going to have good aftersales service.

My method is to approach all dealerships and give them 1 opportunity to quote (no haggling). Let them know that your shopping round so that they know your serious.

Remember to compare apples with apples so have the exact same quote prepared by each dealership (same car, colour, accessories, trade etc).

Whoever comes up with the best price or lowest changeover price obviously gets the deal.

Hasnt failed for me yet!

we bought ours from the local dealer in country nsw. we know them pretty well so got a good price from them. what we've done in the past to get the price down was to get it as low as possible then demand the extras (protectors, mats etc) on top of that after you've got a good price.

also if you have friends/family who have purchased cars in the past with a dealership then bring them along as my parents got an camry sportivo v6 for 32k or so (back in 04) from a dealership where my uncle had previously purchased 4-5 cars off so they were quite happy to bring the price down a bit as well

We got ours 2 weeks ago come with bonnet protector snd headlight protect matts and first service for 27600.00 drive away we live in victoria we emailed 20 dealers for there best price they rang and they had one chance to give us there best price we had 3 dealers drop to this price then we went to our local dealer and he matched the price which was fantastic we got the colour we wanted as well

our tips

* approach dealers near end of month they all have targets

* be just as pushy as they are !!!

* you tell them what you want and how much you will pay if they wont budge call a dealer that will

* try not to go to dealer ship as they will have you sighned up ( they are very tricky people) so to speak heh heh :ph34r:

we have already had it back for first service and got windows tinted done the exhaust and cold air intake and have shift light on the way from US

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
