Toyota Starlet 1997 Glanza S
Fantastic little car for sale, cheap to run (7L/100km), sport model of the ever reliable Toyota Starlet. It’s nippy, handles well and has been serviced regularly.
There’s plenty of life left in this car, with major components that wear, already replaced:
-Full engine renewal at 240,000kms; with cambelt, water pump, and radiator also replaced
-Full set of new mid-range tyres with <7,000kms of wear
-Wheel bearings replaced at 270,000kms
Motor fluids have been renewed & changed regularly and minor consumables replaced (cv joints, brake pads etc.). Wheel alignment done today.
It has done 283,000kms, has a WOF till 14 March 2020, Registration till 11 June 2020
Cosmetically, it’s in an average condition, I’m happy to describe it honestly (also see photos). A low speed roundabout crash years ago, led to the front left panel and suspension being replaced, no structural damage. The passenger side lock has been patched over, after a loser burglary attempt. Like other cars of this age, the clear coat is fading on the roof/bonnet, there are plenty of guides online to fix this (never bothered me). The corners have a few scratches, interior in good condition.
Other features: Airbags, A/C, rear seat folds down fully, good speakers, automatic transmission
This is a fantastic low cost fun car, don’t believe me, see the reviews. Only selling due to our family outgrowing it, sad to see it go. www.productreview.com.au...
$1,250 firm, it’s priced fairly. Please private message me for a viewing/test drive.

scumbags
There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.
They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
