Need advice, Hooking up my 96 celica gt Options

[tataycelica]

Hi,

I'm trying to sell or trade my 1996 Celica GT. It has 5 speed transmission and 146K miles on it. I'm trying to sell it or trade with an automatic transmission car so that my wife can drive it also. Anyway, just in case that nobody grab the car. I'll try to hook it up. Here are some background of the car. The car has rust spots at lower part of the doors but still in great shape. Replacing it is optional. The body has no rust spots and in excellent shape. How much do you think the doors will cost me? Is it much better if I repaint the whole car rather than the doors only? How much do you think it will cost? I just want to get an idea.

I also found a set of kyb struts/shocks with tein springs at the junkyard. There's a totalled celica gt at the yard where I went to. I didn't get it yet because I'm still waiting if my car will be sold this month. They're asking 140 dollars for everything. Is it a good deal?

I'm going to need the front lip kit. How much do you think it will cost me?

My engine has 146K miles right now and pure stock. It's running excellent. How long do you think the engine will last? If ever I get tired of driving with my 2.2 stock engine. How much will it cost to do the 3sgte swap and where can I have it done? Any place in NJ you know where I can do the swap?

Any input is greatly appreciated. I just need a backup plan if ever no one grab my celica from me. I even lowered the price to 3100 or swap with a car with automatic transmission so that my wife can drive it.
Thank you very much.

good deal depending on the mileage they have endured which will be very hard to determine.

the engine will last another 100k if you treat it good.

Teach your wife to drive stick, problem solved.

in a nut shell:

whole car
yes
300-500 shipped
depends on how well you take care of it (maximum 500,000) (3sgte = up to 10,000(+) done by pro's; >5000 if done by you)
