Looking to buy a starlet!

For 5K look for a 98 - 99 Glanza V.
For your price range you can probably get one fully loaded with mods already.
As a minimum I would look for one which already has some decent Jap alloys on it with coilovers and also a decent bodykit but prefer the engine to be standard.
You can then mod the engine to how you want it. Saves you money in the long run.

hey bud
wlecome along - 5k is a lot of money for a starlet - as market has dropped.
What about insurance? look into this before as even though there only a 1.3, there turbod and insurance group is around 15/17.
If all is ok - you need to decided on whether you want an ep82 or an ep91
have a look here....should give you bit more info...

sound advise. if you manage to find one with tasty mods will be a bonus and saves you alot of money too.
try and buy one thats been owned on a forum so that will help with any problems its had if any. and 5k will get you a quality motor mate like the others said you just need to decide whether you want a glanza or starlet
Thats a good call there. Welcome to tgtt pal.

It's not worth using the net, as you'll just get overly-conservative 'book' prices. Buy yourself a Jap Performance or Banzai mag, and give the brokers/insurers who advertise in there a call. You'll get a much better rate.
