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.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Kapiti Coast Distilled: A Family and Friends' Foraged Gin
In an exciting development for local spirits enthusiasts, Elsewhere Gin has released a limited edition Kapiti expression that truly captures the essence of our coastal region.
This unique gin, priced at $95 per bottle, is the result of a heartwarming collaboration between Elsewhere Gin and Mark Rose's parents and their friends in Kapiti who embarked on a community foraging adventure, handpicking an array of native botanicals including kohekohe, kauri tips, strawberry guava, horopito, and kawakawa. These locally sourced ingredients were combined with classic gin botanicals, lemon, and rosemary to create a spirit that is both familiar and distinctly Kapiti.
The gin offers a sensory journey through our coastal landscape. It opens with subtle vanilla notes from the kohekohe, followed by the sweetness of strawberry guava. The addition of horopito lends a peppery kick, while kawakawa adds a unique herbal complexity. The finish showcases the zesty lemon and aromatic rosemary that grow abundantly in our region.
"This gin is a love letter to Kapiti," says Rose. "It's not just my creation, but a true community effort. Every sip tells a story of our unique ecosystem, our shared knowledge, and the incredible flavors we have right here in our backyard."
With only a small batch produced, this Kapiti gin is expected to sell out quickly. It's more than just a drink; it's a bottled experience of our local terroir and community spirit, perfect for those who appreciate the finer aspects of craft spirits and the beauty of our coastal home.
Available exclusively through Elsewhere Gin, please contact Michael Anderson for this limited edition gin that offers a rare opportunity to taste the Kapiti coast - and its community - in a glass.
