For the last month or so, I was down to 3 cars while I rotated cars through my friends shop. They all needed something and it was easy to drop one off, then as they were ready, drive another over and pick that one up. I kind of liked only having to move 3 cars around my driveway/garage.
Originally bought 2017 and rallycrossed a year or two until the events dried up locally. I sold it in 2020 when an expensive roof repair to my house was needed and insurance only gave me $1200, adulting is hard sometimes. Then early last year rallycross was supposedly coming back so I joked with my friend to see if he was bored with it, he apparently had barely driven it 1K miles in 4 years. So I bought it back & waited.
Events never happened. Shortly afterwards I finally bought a GR Corolla and it already had 1" Eibach lift springs and BRAID wheels with Cooper snow tires, the PO had wanted to try RX himself but decided the car wasn't for him (too many nannies). Now we might have events this year, 3 at the most, and I don't need a 4th car for 3 events in a year.
It isn't perfect. There are a few rust spots and dings, I tried to photograph the main ones here:
I tried to put together a list of everything I know about the car, both from when I owned it originally and what my friend did accomplish while he owned it. For not driving it much, he had some interesting work done to it. I think he autocrossed it once or twice as well. I decided it was easier to just scan the list I made with handwritten notes:
I have receipts for the previous year that I've owned it. I had given him all the receipts from earlier but he did not keep them. Most recent has been the steering pump and reservoir plus belt, new battery a few months ago. Wipers at some point last year along with an oil change the day of the eclipse (I remember because I got 3 cars done that day!).
I was going to list it for $7K, and take anything over $6K honestly. I feel like the market may have dropped a bit lately but then again if these tarrifs drive up used car prices?
We're expecting another round of crazy storms & again I have to move cars around to get the GRC into the garage. 3 cars was much easier.
