Toyota Corolla, 2005, Vaasa

Legendary Toyota Corolla 1.6 VVT-i Linea Sol Automatic (2005) Full tank and a small welding project for the MOT!

Now up for auction is a true everyday hero and a top-class Finnish car: a 2005 Toyota Corolla with an effortless automatic transmission and the better Linea Sol trim! This car has had just three owners, and on the road this example is still as smooth and refined as you would expect from a Toyota automatic. Power comes from the 1.6 VVT-i engine, famed for its durability, with a maintenance-free timing chain, so there is no need to worry about expensive belt changes.

In all honesty, where does it stand? This time it was not the inspector's favourite, as it failed inspection due to rust damage in the floor (see the detailed photos in the listing). However, the faults are mainly cosmetic sheet metal work: for a skilled enthusiast or someone with welding skills, this is a relatively easy and reasonable evening project, after which you could turn it into a reliable daily driver for years to come.

Comfort and great extras! Inside and out, this Corolla is very tidy for its age. As the better Linea Sol model, it is not basic transport: automatic climate control, leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel, trip computer, electric windows and electrically adjustable mirrors make driving easier. For Finnish winters, the car has effective seat heaters, an engine block heater and separate front and rear window heaters. Safety is handled by ABS brakes and four airbags, and the service history can be checked in the service book. Clean rubber mats protect the cabin, and of course it also comes with a traditional cigarette lighter and a CD radio for retro music enjoyment.

The car comes with two sets of tyres on alloy wheels, and the summer tyres fitted are in excellent condition.

And there is more: the car is sold with a full tank! The value of the fuel already in the tank makes this auction find even sweeter.

With a little sheet metal work, this great, reliable and tidy automatic Corolla can be back on the road. Go on, bid and let the grinder sing!
