        What I think:

        These things are going for as high as 350-500k in so-so condition these days, so if the floor and underneath the fender areas are rust free this has potential. I’m not worried so much about the engine, those can be found or replaced. I think the suspension is shared with other Mitsubishi models of the time, such as the Galant or the Dodge Colt, or you can buy a donor dead Celeste there are many of those around.

        Not to worried about Xerox papers either, as long as they check out.

        So yeah, if you have 100k and are a glutton for punishment the way car restorers are, then this may be your lucky day to get one of the most iconic 80s-90s Pinoy vintage cars out there.

        FB Finds: 43k Mileage (!) 1993 Corolla

        You have to wonder how super low mileage cars exist. I heard a story once about how an OFW bought a car then would only use it when they come back. I have an OFW neighbor that does exactly that, so yeah it’s feasible. But 43000 kms over 33 years is only 1303km/year and that is crazy.

        In any case, here it is in all its glory. A hardly used ‘big body’ 93 Seventh generation E100 Corolla.

        Like the other Toyota post, also set at P220,000, which is still a big ask even though this one is newer. For that price, it would be difficult for the next owner to make it a daily driver as its only claim to fame really is that low mileage. So that means only collectors will want this, so it can sit in their garage for another 30+ years to be gawked at.

        I love the Big Body btw, to me the best car I ever drove (my sister’s), and if it were sold today exactly as it is, with zero power steering and ‘pawis’ crank windows, I’d still want to buy it.

      • Someone is selling a 44k kms 230SL on FB

        Someone is selling a 44k kms 230SL on FB

        Details:

        • IMPORTED
        • TAX PAID
        • BUYER WILL BE THE 1ST OWNER IN THE PHILIPPINES
        • EURO VERSION
        • MANUAL TRANSMISSION
        • NO A/C
        • 44K KMS
        • PRESERVED CONDITION

        I’m not sure what he means about ‘buyer will be 1st owner in the Philippines’, because there are lots of these here.

        But this will probably be the only one at only 44k kms! This is a wild guess, but if that super low mileage is real this can be in the 20-30M range, even more so abroad.
