I presume it would basically be a two-door version of our ae92 SX corolla hatch. Make sure its got a 4A-GE engine in it - otherwise it will be slow.
typical traits for this model of car are:
reliable
economical
reasonably quick (for a 1.6 N/A)
If you can land it at the price you quote then you shouldn't have too many hassles with import depreciation either. Locally delivered models go for about that (maybe a little less).
Most parts should be interchangeable with the locally delivered ae92 (though I note that the bonet looks like a nova bonnet
