Toyota Starlet 1997 Glanza S

Benjamin from Waterloo

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.

Price: $1,250

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
