Make: TOYOTA
Model: COROLLA
Colour: Red
Submodel: RUNX
Body Style: Hatchback
Price : $5500 ONO

The car is in mint condition. First owner in nz and a lady driver. This car belongs to my mother and she’s looked after this well. There are is a small ding (pic attached) which is was due to a trolly at the supermarket. We got this at 25xxx (paper work provided).

The car is serviced regularly, we just had new Bridgestone tyres put in couple of months back + a brand new battery. Wof and rego both expire in 2020. All the windows are tinted to the legal requirements. The back is factory and the front two were done at hyper drive. Can provide paper work if need be.

She’s a real breeze to drive, never given us any problems. Thoroughly reliable and this model of the runx has a sun roof too. Selling as this is now a surplus to requirements.

Price: $5,500
