2001 Toyota Avensis 2.0 TD Aura Saloon

Just turned 100,000 miles today, and is in exceptional condition.

2 owners from new, NCT to 01-2011 and tax to 10-2010

Standard Avensis stuff: Electric windows and mirrors, Remote locking, ABS with EBD
Extras on this one: 15" wheels, chrome grille, colour coded handles, Toyota CD player, heated mirrors, Electric sunroof, upgrade velour seats

Engine: 89bhp 2.0 TD (last of the line 00 TD models, doesn't have the risk of Dual Mass flywheel or injector failure that the facelift D-4D model has)

Body is very straight, minor minor scrape on the front wing behind the light, apart from that excellent
Interior is as new
Everything works
Engine is unbelievably quiet given that it's a diesel and 9 years old
Drives really tight, steering/suspension in great order

Just got me from Dublin to Clare on under 20 quid

€3250 ono.

sounds good , i got one same year and 79000 miles today for 2200euro, new nct, its amazing wot people will sell for small money nowadays, he needed cash, felt guilty getting it and he even gave me 20 back for luck lol

That's a great price, those D-4D's are decent to drive too, watch out for the flywheel you'll hear a clunk on startup just as the engine catches - they're megabucks to replace.

I think I have this one sold anyway, I'd pay more than 2200 for a 01 D-4D so if you're interested in turning it over and making a bit I'd probably be interested in it as a car for myself. The TD is fine and they're unburstable, but I'd prefer the little extra shove the extra 20bhp gives.

yeah ive been told about the flywheel issues by dad, this ones fine and was serviced by toyota up until now, ive a customer for it now, if i had 5 of these i'd sell them in a week lol. great sellers

I've had a lot of interest in mine too, scarilly I'm falling for it's fuel consumption and comfort - Went from Clare, all around connemara, out to Clifden and back again on a quarter tank yesterday. Don't know whether to keep it now or take the money and run

great economy yeah, i got a 96 peugoet 406 1.9td yesterday mint only 118000miles,mate owned it 4 years so i knew it very well. changed oil and filter and fuel filter and air filter and she's flying, very comfortable and amazing on diesel, can understand why one would hang onto a diesel,,,,great saving
