How much would you pay for this..., 00 Celica GT Options

[hurley97]

2000 Celica GT
5spd manual
Red w/ black interior
101,396 miles

the Good:
1 owner car. Never been in an accident. Transmission has been replaced. New brakes. New clutch. Good tires. Recalls have been done.

the Bad:
It's burning oil. Theres a small oil leak from the rear main seal area. The check engine light is on and the car stumbles a lot. The mass airflow sensor is probably bad. It needs spark plugs. The only exterior flaw that I can remember was a small scrape on the right rear quarter by the wheel well.


I was thinking about offering her $800-1,000 for it. I want to know what other people think.

I know it's a little low but she won't get more than that for trading in.

It burns/leaks a little over 1qt every 300 miles. It takes a couple tries to start the car because it idles way too low on startup. If you press the gas pedal to the floor it'll slowly go up to just over 1000rpm and stumble before making its way slowly to about 2500-3000rpm instead of shooting up to redline like it should. It needs another motor or a complete rebuild.

I told her to first see how much they would actually give her as a trade in and I would see about working something out with her.
