Shuu,

So i finally picked up a 2005 facelift Corolla Sportivo in White.

After wasting time and money looking at a piece of sh*t in Melbourne, i found a really clean on in QLD.

Flew up and drove it back.

So far really happy with it, previous owner took real good care of it.

Heres a pic..

The guy from Melbourne said it it was immaculate, no scratches, nothing wrong with the body work, all this other bull****.

So i flew down and it was literally covered in 1cm of orange dirt, even the whole engine bay was full of dirt.

It was rusting on the driver side door, front lip was missing said it was stolen a month ago.

Window seal was broken and looked like he wacked on some sealing silicone. Interior was filthy and covered in scratches.

Front bar was loose on one side. Body work had a few scratches. It was rubbish. I didnt even bother to take it for a test drive.

Drove back to the airport and all flights back to Sydney were cancelled so i got stuck in Melbourne for the night. Ended up going Crown casino and losing $400. Whole trip ended up costing me like $800. Biggest waste of time and money.

But i guess in the end im happy it didnt work out and i ended up finding this one.

Hit up the snows the other day, almost too low for snow chains, had to use a jack to put them on. 5mm clearance.
