Woh, thats a pretty good price. Manual Trans? Did u get the hail fix? No not yet. It is very hard to notice because of the very light colour (Shimmer). I plan to put a sun-roof soon anyway so it should fix about 80% of the damage. The damage was very minor, so I probably will not get it fixed unless I have to. Yes it is a stick shift. Here are some pics!!! (sorry, about the angles, was only testing the camera at that time) Its still a very nice score at that price. Yeah by chance we went to the right place at the right time!. Would never have bought one if it was normal price. I believe the extra costs does not justify enough the extras on the ZRs. Its just too pricey and out of my budget at the time i brought the car. So went for an SX. I'love to have the extras of ZR though although there are no performance gain. Absolutely. If I was to choose b/w SX and ZR, I would have picked SX simply because there is more value per dollar in it. If only Toyota were a little bit more sympathetic:P. They could have put sports suspension, VVTi-L (High profile CAMs) etc. You know, something that will make the LEVIN really stand out. After all, the term LEVIN is suppose to be the performance trademark of the classic Corollas. SX, ZR, Conquest, Ascent - to me its all the same. Running costs are quite low relative to other cars within the market segment; fuel, insurance, servicing, and do not forget the good resale value too. You can never go wrong with Corollas. Manny somethign like the Levin ZR are only sold in japan for $22000 or something like that minus the skirts. Look at the Blade with 3.5L v6 which kicks out 206kw. Its only $32000 equivilant. Anything comes into aus get water down
