6G Celicas Forums

$1100 as is. Will negotiate. Need to move this from my driveway before winter.

1994 Celica GTS. 285 565 km. I have been told it needs a transmission axle seal. I replaced the engine, timing belt, clutch, and battery (which is not charged) within the last year or so. Changed the rad myself as well. About 125k km on the motor. I also changed the whole distributor, distributor wires, spark plugs (now iridium), and timing belt. The reason for sale is because I already own a new vehicle, and it is accumulating rust in select areas. Hate to see it go. If I had a 5 car garage I'd keep it and insure it. There is a minor issue with the hood latch closing. I find that you need to slide a screwdriver towards the left of you, and toward the right of the car along the hood latch wiring in order to get the hood to close and lock into the latch. Not sure why it works but it does. The second thing - I cannot get the vehicle to start right now - there was blue and yellow corrosion around the battery terminals. I recently changed the starter and alternator, so I'm thinking it's a faulty battery. Either of these things cost about $100 and you can install them yourself.

It includes: Full set of winter tires on steel rims (used for one season). The summer tires on 4 factory rims that can use some polishing are currently on the vehicle (one season remaining). Includes 3 almost new factory rims on the side. Detailed weekly - great condition inside except for a couple driver seat tears. The cd scrambles occasionally but I will include a cassette to aux cable. The ac is amazing and blows cold. The abs light is on. The driver's side high-beam has water in it. I believe the alignment is a little off and may need a bit of front end work. Easy for someone that can do the work themselves. The driver seat currently has a leather tear about 3-4 inches diagonally about 0.1 of an inch wide in the centre that is not in the pic - I can connect you with someone who fixes them professionally for about $80. There is currently black duck tape covering it. I'm the 3rd registered owner. I've had it for 2 years myself. It's originally an ontario vehicle with a small carproof claim the right door around 1999. I belive the amount was $2500.
I live in Ontario Canada but will quote shipping in case anyone would like to pick this up. I will not part the vehicle out. Thoughts? I believe it's worth more than scrap since it can run and maybe an enthusiast would like to pick it up.

With that rust and mileage...I would call it $1500 USD at the high end.

damn i want those seats!

I will give you my soul for those seats.

Interior: 8 out of 10
Exterior: 3 out of 10
Performance(If no paper in hand): 5 out of 10
Performance(If paper in hand): Depends on if the engine was rebuilt or just swapped with an other engine.

That's what I'll judge from what I see and read here. So I'd say what it's worth is maybe $700-$1400ish.

New fender, new door, new rear quarterpanel and you have a +3000$ car, given the engine is in good condition. I've never seen a cleaner OEM Celica interior.

You meant *CLEANER oem LEATHER interior*. Lol.

Not to bitch but most of the door panels aren't visible, and the armrest has the typical pitting - no telling if the doors are the same, so I'd hardly jump yet at calling this interior supa clean.

Has the premium audio though. I'd definitely trade/add cash for the seats and door panels, shame he's so far away.

Doors:







Engine swapped, not rebuild. As you mentioned - you'd have to test it. Does a good engine bring up the value, in your opinion? Is it possible to fix the rusting areas for a low price?

A car being able to be driven makes a world of difference in its value. People that're tight on money and just need a car won't care about cosmetics too much. Easiest way to replace a lot of the rust would be to replace the parts whole, doors and hatch etc... The other spots it looks like you might be able to sand it down, seal it, primer, and respray colour and clear.

They seem to go for a bit more in our area (Quebec/Ontario).

Interior looks quite clean, exterior is meh.
Right now I'd say it's worth around 1500.
If the car runs great and you fix the rust on the fender(s), quarter panel(s) and doors (and maybe replace that hatch if you can afford it because it's getting ugly ) you could get up to 3500ish Imo.

I painted a few parts of my Gts a while back, it's about 50-100/each for the lower door part and 150/each for the front fenders, came out quite good. Rear quarter panels should be somewhere around 200/each.

I'm sure you can get a rust free hatch from a scrapyard or someone somewhere in Ontario for not much, if you manage to get a white one you could save more.

Make it around $1000ish of parts/job (or just do it yourself, save some money!) and you can sell this baby for something worth it and get some more money out of it.

Edit: The only cheap way to get rid of the rust is to DIY. It will come back if it's not done right, but if it's too deep it will no matter what anyways.
