Sold 1995 Celica Convertible, 5 sp manual transmission. Starts/Runs well. No leaks. Handles very well. Second owner. Clean Title

Vin JT5ST07K0S0030122

Daughter moved from Morgan Hill California to Washington D.C. Convertible stayed behind. I LOVE driving it with the top down, but.... need to sell it.

Black paint, black leather seats. All windows, top, seats work. Power top has a few small wear holes in it, size of a dime in the exterior cloth. Rear window was replaced (glass) in 2009 top is tight, window is sewn in tight.

This would be a great car for a collector with little cash and a lot of love for Celicas.

I just put $4100.00 in the engine work done by Toyota Certified mechanics. Head resurfaced, timing belt, water pump, seals, head gasket and valve guides, new radiator, new cold idle stuff, new distributor, new timing belt, water pump, lots of other little engine parts new. runs beautifully. Cold starts perfectly.

Work was done by Made in Japan in Morgan Hill (first half timing belt head etc) and Made in Japan Campbell California (fine tuning distributor, cap, rotor, plugs etc.)

Guarantee is 24000. Work was done at 70,500 in February 2012. She used the car to commute 35 miles for four months zero problems.

All Brakes rotors and pads done 2012.

New battery.

Tires BF Goodrich P55/205/R15 about 1/2 worn out. Has racing wheels... a little on the scuffed up side.

Clutch done in May 2011... works well.

AC/Heater works well. Radio/CD player works well.

Body is Straight , little dings here and there. Paint is good except for hood which has almost all of the clear coat gone. Would need to be repainted and or buffed out and clear coated to match rest of car. The car has never been in an accident.


Things that don't work. (The Bad or quirky)

Windshield washer (wipers are fine).

Power antennae. Left in up position works, motor is good drive band is stripped.

High Beams don't come on, Light on panel does though. (bulbs may be blown)

Cruise Control (yes on a 5 speed manual transmission) never worked since we bought it but it is all there.

Clifford alarm and remote entry... stopped working a few years ago. Remote seems to be fine (light up and checks out st auto store as working) and door stills auto open and lock with key, but alarm doesn't respond to key fob and car won't open or lock from fob, so I disabled it. The fob probably lost the code to control the Clifford alarm system.

Synchro into 3rd gear is not right. Daughter and I never notice, but you have to let off the gas a little between 2nd and third or it will grind a little. She doesn't know it is a problem because you get used to it so fast and it doesn't grind unless you aren't used to it.

As I said needs someone mechanical who wants a really nice car cheap. Car was about $30,000.00 new. Had every option.

I would MUCH RATHER sell it to an enthusiast. I don't know how to attach photos to this post, but there are a few on my description of the car..click on my name on the left.

I can't really deliver the car anywhere outside of Central California for this price....
