I was jus wondering, is there a way to just pay a performance shop like 4-6 grand and have them do all the work like getting the clip, installing the engine, and putting everything together. And I would make a monthly payment to them, like a financing plan for the 4-6gs for the swap.

suggested retail value for a good condition celica is
$7,715
swap cost est 3,000$
thats 10,000$
(and yes lagos i'm talking about the money you put into the car)

(outside this community) and it is a proven fact you will not get back wat you put into a car
you will not get 10,000$ for a used celica thats been modified
and you have to realize if you sell inside an enthusiast community you might make a little more back then if you sold it in the real world
putting body kits and rims on a car then trading it in will make it lose trade in value then if you had traded in a stock car because its harder to resell and its LESS reliable

clearly and to the point if you don't have the money to modify your car then wait till you do...cars are NOT a return investment it is a DEPRECIATING investment from the second you sign the paper work to buy it..
