6G Celicas Forums

SOLD!!!

Payment pending for Thursday.

Open to reasonable offers.

Read between the lines people. Free shipping. I'm not giving the calipers away. Come on now.

FREE

























shipping.

Bump, still for sale.

Would like gone. Someone has to want to do the caliper swap.

Yep. Quick answer is not a direct bolt on, but a worthwhile upgrade.

Probably need a rebuild (cheap enough). Everyone knows these and what they are. Been sitting on them for years, never got to the swap. $250 shipped. Cost a lot more than that to have them imported from Europe.

Sold to Badkarma! Picked it up this morning. I feel she's going to a very good home. Enjoy man, and contact me if you need anything.

Already happening! I signed loan paperwork today, and am putting half up front in cash on it. Sold the 05 Audi A6 I bought last fall to flip, made about $1K on that, selling the Celica will allow me to put a couple grand more towards paying off the Vette and will allow me to find a more suited driver. FWIW I think the person who's supposed to be picking it up tomorrow is a big enthusiast and the car will be going to a good home.

I just washed her up today for the last time which is kind of sad, because I was able to sit back and truly appreciate how beautiful the car is. I'll miss it, no doubts about that, but my true heart lied with that Vette.

Quite possibly. Tomorrow will tell for sure.

Lol seriously? I don't remember that? 2008 huh? That's before it got the paint and goodies it's got now. Wow.

I'd have guessed that too off of how the interaction went.

OMG some people. Had a guy in-state contact me about the car as my ebay ad expired yesterday. We got to talking and he's pointing out the bad shocks and oil pan gasket leak like they're huge major issues. Says he's going to have to spend 2-3K to make it look like it's a car with 50k miles. Tried coming at me with NADA values for a 160K mile Celica and MR2 Turbo. He said he didn't want any of the extras, what's my bottom dollar? I told him I'd take $5K flat if I keep all extra's to sell (not much, GT4 calipers, couple small interior panels, etc) as that's the number I MUST have.

Dude offers me a Mac laptop and Xbox 1 and 2500 cash. AND KEPT TRYING TO GET ME TO BITE ON A TRADE the more we talked. I don't understand what part of "Cash Only" he didn't understand. I think this was a big dreamer. He told me he didn't want to put more than $5K into the car TOPS including purchase price, and that he may come up to $3500 or $4000 if I fixed the very small oil pan leak which I haven't fixed because it's not a major bother. I finally had to tell him he's wasting his time, I won't do anything under $5000 CASH.

I think what irritated me the most was his lack of researching for saying he did his research. Said my ebay ad was up for at least 2 weeks. Funny, I did a 7 day ad. Said the motor won't make it to 200K miles and at 160K he's got to think of that. Didn't bother seeing where the motor has around 90K on it huh? Well, the turbo will need replacing at 120K anyway? Seriously? I can buy a celica on Craigslist all day for $2000-3000. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH MONEY YOU'D HAVE TO SPEND ON ONE OF THOSE TO MAKE IT GOOD MUCH LESS REPLICATE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO LOWBALL ME FOR? I should have just hung up on his arse.

This made my friggin day!!!!

That's what I had it up as. 6K BIN with BO, immediate $500 deposit. Had over 2500 views, almost 60 watchers, ONE guy who was asking questions, not even a single offer. Bunch of leg humpers on ebay is all.

Never going to happen. But I know I'd have the TRD shifter sold, lmao. I've had SO many requests from people to pull that off and sell it to them.

Yeah, the Celi's are an unheralded gem. It got a HUGE response on a area code based facebook page, people were going gaga over it "OMG, SICK" and all that stuff, but no one wants to make a move on it.

I'm tempted to throw it up for auction with a reserve but don't want to spend the money on it because that piles up quick.

Shows pose two problems. A, not my scene. B, no time. I've had it out to some of the local hangouts, but here, if you're not packing a domestic car pushing at a minimum of 650-700 RWHP, you're ignored.

I've got it on a couple of the local ones, but that doesn't get a ton of exposure.

I thought about it, but I'm not really a member of any of the import groups, and I don't want to be "that guy" who joins simply to sell a car. I don't allow it on the forum I own/run and don't want to do it to someone else's group/forum. I'm honestly surprised it's not been jumped on either. You would have to spend at least 15K to replicate this car, and finding a good base to start with becoming harder and harder without finding rust, dents, etc. This car is PERFECT for the person who want's a over the top type of project. It's a solid foundation, and the next steps are full suspension (coilovers mainly), full standalone ECU (think megasquirt), and really tear into the motor mods to make some substantial power (turbo, injector, cams, etc). For $6K it's a steal.

It's all good. I'm just hoping to get this sold.......soon.

I said reasonable.

Make me a reasonable offer. Worst I can say is no.
