well, im selling my ol' 6th gen and trying to get a 7th gen. i really like this one. its about 14k w/ 45000 miles on it, new tires and nice wheels
hopefully w/ a trade in, i can get the price lowered and i'm poor lol, so leave the upgrades out of this -------------------- It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....

it's auto.
nice car nonetheless but if it was me I would wait for a good deal on a manual car. what year is it ? you can get decent 7th gens for less than that, if you don't mind a 2000-2003 version ( which is better for tuning ) -------------------- |

eh, i'm not gonna really mess w/ it this time. if anything, i'll lower it and MAYBE get an exhaust, but i just want a black 7th gen w/ the trd wing. and i looked in a kelly blue book and thats about the price its worth w/ all the stuff it has.

QUOTE trannys go out pretty quick on them lol, well i'm not gonna be driving it like a maniac or anything. And to tell you the truth, the only reason i like that celica is the front bumper. that's the ONLY front bumper i like on it. all the other ones look gay. i'm gonna get rid of those rose colored tails too and put the tails with the amber on it. -------------------- It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....

A guy that I go to school with has a 7th gen GT. He bought it from the dealer used, and 2000 miles after buying it, the engine blew up. So the dealer put a new one in. 30K miles later, that one blew up. So the 3rd motor went in. Then going down the highway 5th gear decided it didn't want to hang out in the transmission, and shot itself all over I-5.

no, i just have 15" stock wheels, and its really bad cuz i have to turn my radio up really loud just to hear it over the noise and it hurts my ears lol.
think if i got some tiens i'd be good? cuz another problem i forgot to mention is that it bottoms out REALLY easily cuz of my springs. BUSHINGS, that's what they're called, thanks. i replaced my links, but that didnt fix anything. -------------------- It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....
