2008 Toyota Blade
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.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
