2008 Toyota Blade

Karl from Frankton

Up for sale is my 2008 Toyota Blade, or as I like to call it, the sleepy hatch that looks polite but knows how to handle itself. Only 94,000km, heaps of life left, and packed with a few carefully chosen extras that make this one a cut above the usual.

** What You’re Getting **
>> Only 94,000km – barely run in for a Toyota

>> Lowered aftermarket suspension – tighter handling, better stance
>> 17” BGW Compton alloys – mean look without going over the top
>> Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 tyres – grippy performance tyres, only ~5,000km old
>> Grundig head unit – Bluetooth, upgraded audio, no aux-cord battles
>> Regularly serviced and well maintained – this car’s been looked after, not thrashed

** Why You’ll Love It **
This is a great all-rounder, plenty of power from the 2.4L engine, super smooth to drive, and you get Toyota reliability with just enough spice to keep things interesting. It’s fun, comfy, and doesn’t scream “look at me” (but definitely turns a few heads anyway).

** Who'll like it? ***
Would suit someone who wants something a bit different without going full boy-racer. Perfect daily, or a smart base if you want to take it further.

Open to reasonable offers, but please — no silly lowballs. If you're looking for a cheap runabout, this probably isn't your car. If you’re after a clean, sorted Blade with a bit of character, let’s talk.

Price: $8,200

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
