yep go for the new car, nothing wrong with Corolla's. As Zfrk said its not rice if you leave it as you buy it, and if you modify it do it tastefully.

i think its an amazing deal, like said before, there is nothing wrong with a Corolla, and everyone knows its going to be a lot ess of a headache. im curious to know if you mean "new" as in new for you, or as in never been owned. also, what is ur car worth over there, and what is a new corolla worth over there. i mean, what is that person losing by making this deal? and if they are losing money wise, why would they make the deal? what is their reason for wanting to do this?

€29k does seem steep for a Verso.

With the Toyota you'll almost certainly have a some care free years ahead. ANd you'll have a 5 year / 150.000 km warranty (Not sure if they have this in every European country)

I have to add this. I was just on last test drive of the day with the Toyota and suddenly from the crossroads there's a M3 CSL infront of me I had to follow it for few kilometers and drive windows open just to listen that beautifull metallic sound, sooooo nice! I don't think there are many CSLs in Finland so it was quite rare sighting,
...and you headed the car to BMW dealer and bought CSL infront of Toyota dealer
