Needed a runabout, so just picked up a Gen 7 Celica nice car, handles very well for a FWD and surprisingly quick it is VVTL-i.

Good Bits:
32k on the clock and 2002 facelift model in Thunder Grey, two tone leather - the car is pretty much mint apart from the

Bad Bits:
Suffers from typical Toyota wheel worm on 2 wheels, and some lacquer has escaped from the rear spoiler, about 5" by 2" section.

Why oh WHY can't Toyota or Lexus for that matter, make alloy wheels that don't corrode, the largest car manufacturer in the world can't do a simple thing that even the Kia lot get right.
