@Charlie - yeh that navy one was one of the ones on my list. I'm from Newcastle so I havnt actually inspected anything yet. Still thinking. I'll just have to play the waiting game. Thanks everyone. Any further input or suggestions appreciated.

Cheers guys. How reliable are the sportivo motors? ie should I rule out a car with 150k plus on the odo? When are the major services due? Thanks again

Hi, Im going to have a look at a few Corolla Sportivo's around $10-12k. This should get me a 2003-2005 model. How are these cars going now in terms of reliability and servicing? There is clean example for $10k but with 165,000 kms on it. Being a Toyota I though this might still be ok if it has been looked after. What is your opinion? What do I need to look out for and check on these models? Thanks for any input.
