Well, as some of you know, I've been registered on this site for almost a year, and I've been looking to buy a Celica for about a year and a half. I've been looking on craigslist, watching autotrader, and frequenting eBay looking for the perfect Celica ever since I fell in love with them. So, I’m happy to finally announce that I’ve joined the ranks of all you Celica endowed. =] So here’s the specs:

1994 Celica GT
207,000 miles, black and a manual. Pretty much everything is stock. Decent interior, only some rips. Exterior is decent too, some pitting and scratches(needs a new paint job eventually), but not bad considering the miles. I’m the fourth owner. The first guy worked at Toyota, then the second and third owners were sisters.
Here’s the only catch. It wasn’t running when I bought it. It had been sitting since mid-February and the girl a bought it from didn’t really need it anyway. She took the bus to work, and walked everywhere else. I bought it on Wednesday, and after about $30, and 7 or 8 hours of work, my dad and I got it running last night. Turned out to be a timing belt. I don’t think the thing had ever been replaced in 200K miles! I wish I had a picture to show you all how frayed it was. The thing slipped and the crank was nearly a two thirds the way out of alignment with the rotor. =] Anyway, here are some pictures of it I took today after I washed and waxed it. It really runs great! It be expected of a Toyota. I just decided take a poll and see what all you people would have been willing to pay for this car, then I’ll tell you what I got it for.(keep in mind it wasn't running when I actually bought it)

Well i am like you poor and i got my 94 st with 225,some odd miles
from a guy that had replaced the wheel bearings and after 6 months
the front pass side went out again
i replaced the hub and bearing and so far it is fine
till the timming belt slipped like yours funny huh.
back to your post though i would have offered maybe 400/500 maybe
yours looks a lil better than mine mine needs a good buff job till i can afford to paint her
i'll have pics soon as i can get my camera back.
got her cheap too.
