No Reserve Low Mileage and Garaged Vintage Toyota Corolla SR5 Coupe Survivor

1989 Toyota Corolla SR-5 Additional Info:

Super Nice Low Mileage Toyota Corolla SR5 Coupe 1989 This is a very nice 1989 Toyota Corolla SR-5 with only 93,537 miles. From its condition it is obvious that the car has spent most of its life in a garage and was well cared for. It is currently kept in my garage under a cover and won't be driven while the auction is active. I have over 90 pictures (460 MB worth) of this car but ebay has a limit of 24. I will gladly work with any prospective bidders to get these pictures to you. If you are in my area you are more than welcome to look at the car in person. I purchased the car from the previous owner in Colorado where it had recently passed the State IM240 emissions test. It passed easily but unfortunately suffered a head gasket failure soon after. I purchased the car after being told it needed “a new engine”. After getting it to my shop to diagnose the actual problem I discovered that the original head gasket had failed between cylinders one and two. This was very fortunate as while repairing the engine I discovered it is in amazingly good condition inside. Repairs included a new Asian brand water pump, timing belt, tensioner pulley, and a Fel-Pro head gasket and new head bolts. The accessory belts were all replaced with Bando brand parts and the spark plugs and fuel filter were also replaced. The cooling system was flushed and refilled with green antifreeze and distilled water. The battery was replaced with a sealed Deka group 24F and the engine oil was changed using Valvoline conventional 5w-30. This car is very close to factory original down to the OEM windshield and very rare 13” optional German made Intra mesh wheels. The pictures didn't turn out very good but the interior is blue and is in very good condition. All of the seats and carpet are original. The seats do match though the pictures make them look like they are different colors There is a stain on the bottom of the rear seat and a small crack on the dash above the glove box. The top of the dash is in very good condition. I don't see any signs of body work and all of the VIN stickers match. There are some rust spots starting on the body at the bottoms of the rear wheel wells and on the sunroof and few minor scuffs on the corners of the bumpers. There are a few minor scratches and dings but this likely the nicest Corolla coupe money can buy. The overall condition of this car is more like a well maintained 4-5 year old car than a car that just just turned 30! I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere! My daily driver for the past ten years is a nearly identical Corolla Coupe with well over 350K miles and it hasn't ever let me down! These are some of Toyota's best cars. Everything on the car is in good working order and it is being sold as is. The air conditioner was blowing air below 40 degrees Fahrenheit while the car was parked. The ambient temperature was 80 degrees F and the ground was nearly 100 degrees. The car is very tight and solid. It starts very quickly and runs very smooth. I do have the original window sticker, sales documents, and some maintenance records. Please give it a good home! The car is located approximately 35 miles from the Scottsbluff, Nebraska Airport. I can pickup the new owner from the airport and take them to the car in Torrington, Wyoming (45-minute drive). I have a clean Wyoming title in hand and will have a notarized title and a bill of sale ready for the winning bidder. A deposit of $400 is due within 48-hours of the end of the auction and the balance can be paid in cash before the car is picked up. I can give the winning bidder 30-days to make arrangements to get the car picked up.

I forgot to include in the listing that the radio antenna mast is broken and the plastic is cracked around one of the license plate lamps. I have a new antenna assembly and a good used replacement rear filler panel with two license plate lamps that are included with the vehicle.
