6G Celicas Forums

'95 Toyota Celica GT. Black. Charcoal Cloth Interior. 5spd. 294,000 miles on car. 5SFE engine was replaced with another 5SFE engine about 44,000 miles ago. This engine probably has about 120,000 miles on it. Runs excellent. Koni single adjustable shocks installed up front earlier this year. Everything else is stock. Eclipse receiver/Cd player. Selling 2 sets of wheels and 3 sets of tires with car. 4 Stock alloy wheels with Sumitomo HTR-Z 205/50R15's mounted and 4 flat black Team Dynamics 15X7 with Hoosier R3S05 225/45R15's. Also have another set of Kumho V710's 225/50R15's. Would like to sell everything together. I am the second owner of this car. I bought it in 1997 from a dealership in Va. with 38000 miles on it. So, it's been mine for 10 years and 256,000 miles. It has been a fantastic car for me, but the wife and 2 kids just don't fit in it very comfortably. Asking 4500.00 obo. Not sure how to insert pics in this thread, so I will email pics upon request. My profile has a 3 pics.

sorry to say but i think that you are asking way too much, especially with that high of miles. putting a new engine in the car doesn't make that much of a diff in the price. everyone on this site know way too much about this car to be willing to pay that much for that many miles. the engine itself still has a lot of miles for that much. the body is older as well. with that many miles who knows what is going to break next.
i only paid 1500 more than that and i only had 13000 more original miles than your replacement motor and it is 4 yrs newer.

I hear ya bro. you're probably right. I don't have alot of experience buying or selling Celica's. Since I've bought one and now I'm selling one. KBB private party value for a "good" condition 95 Celica with 294000 miles is $3545 though. plus another set of wheels less than a year old, plus 2 sets of R-comp tires. the extra set of wheels and tires are probably worth about 800~1000 total. Hey, if it's too much though, then it's too much. I'll either go down on the price or not sell it. I guess I could sell just the car and sell the extra wheels and tires separately. I'll entertain offers

I think you are being reasonable with price, esp. with the wheels and tires. I would just give plenty of pics and have all the maintenance records possible available for seller.
