    Hi guys just want to ask your opinion regarding what to choose, advantages and disadvantages of both models

    I have a 97 glxi a/t lancer which I'm in the process of making it japanese version with a mirage trunk and 16s on it. I'm now planning on selling it right after getting a pretty nice 99-00 manual gli corolla which I'm planning to right away convert it to euro version.

    I know I'll be needing extra money for the upgrade but I'm not happy with those corollas that I've seen for the past month. Either price is too high or not as impressive as what I expect.

    My lancer is well maintained in and out. Without any "kalampag" on it, I'm now looking for a corolla with the same condition with my lancer. Unfortunately I haven't seen any.

    One more thing, how much it would cost me to convert the corolla to euro with facelift? There's this friend of mine who introduced to his friend and told me it would cost me 30k to convert it to euro 1 (change hood to fiber glass, grills, headlights and painting) is it cheap?

    Hope you can help me guys decide whether to retain my lancer or to change to a corolla which I want to convert to a euro

    Thanks so much
