Bought a '90 Corolla GTS!

Post by GTSSportCoupe »

I don't really need the car, but I'm a 4age addict and the price was unresistable. I've always wanted one of these cars - especially one with a smallport 4age (rarer). Car just needs a good exterior detailing and a new timing belt (belt skipped a couple teeth but car still runs). Everything else is in perfect shape. Has cruise, p/m, p/s, and fogs. It's rust free except for a couple quarter sized surface bubbles. Got it for $650CAD which includes towing to my place. :D The seller thought the engine was toast...

Some pics from when I first looked at it. Will post better ones when I have time...

i still want a 4age for my 2wd wagon. I saw one of those earlier this week, but it was SR5. I wish i could find one of those for a daily driver, the perfect combination of power, fuel mileage, & a good-sized (but not too big) body.

Engine pics! thats the most valued part of a corolla GTS

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

The car will remain on the car lot until the end of the month, then it'll be towed to my new house. I don't have room for it at my condo, and don't take possession of my new house till the end of the month.

I'll definitely take more pics at that point. I'll include the engine and close-ups of the fogs (Mac).

Nice! I've always loved the look of those. Too bad they're FWD.

I have a '90 and '91 'Rolla in my driveway, but they're a sedan and wagon. Both 4A-FE and automatic. The un-fun AE92.... :?

I like the black Civic next to it too. Hell, I love all Japanese pocket rockets. :D

Is that your MR2 hiding in the background?

Yup that is my MR2 in the background; good eye! Now if I just bought another AE86, I'd have 4wd, MR, FF, FR. Haha!
