Toyota Corolla for sale - excellent condition
This is a car that needs no introduction.
We purchased this Corolla (that we nick named Lenny) during lockdown and he has proved to be a very solid, reliable car. Much loved and extremely well looked after. Only selling as we are wanting to buy an EV, have a second vehicle already and WFH a lot.
We purchased from TH Motors in May 2020. Mileage was 146,000 kms.
Previous owner – had for 13 years. Serviced annually at King Toyota in Lower Hutt.
Lenny has been serviced every year of ownership (all paperwork available). He runs and drives great with no mechanical issues at all. Starts 1st time every time, even on cold chilly mornings.
Typically used for short trips around town, although Lenny is great for longer trips and motorway driving too.
Despite the fuel efficiency rating, we have found Lenny to be relatively good for his engine size, transmission, and fuel tank size. A full tank typically lasts us ~450-500 kms.
Cosmetically Lenny is still in very good condition, but the paint does have a few small scratches / is showing a bit of wear and tear in small areas - as expected for his age.
Interior is in very good condition as seen in the photos. No tears or rips to fabric. Footwell on drivers side is scuffed and marked – can be covered with a footmat (supplied) if desired.
Comes with a near new spare tyre in the boot and 3 keys - 2 remote and 1 spare.
And for those who pine for yesteryear and enjoy the simple things in life – Lenny has an AM/FM radio and CD player. He also has a coin receptacle (for the good old days when coins were popular, and parking meters accepted cash). He even comes with a cigarette lighter! (we are smoke free owners).
We will be sad to see Lenny go – he is a great reliable car. Some motoring websites report these little beauties can last an astounding 300,000 miles (482,000 kms!). Lenny still has a lot to offer any new happy owner.
Vehicle is based in Kapiti. Please call for viewing. Test drives welcome by appointment.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
