My mom had owned Celicas in the past, a brown 70's coupe and a yellow 80's hatchback, and so when my GTi died on me, I went looking for a Celica. I got on Autotrader and found mine the morning of it being posted. My dad went and looked at it, and told me that "He doesn't have the money right now". later that day he pulled into the driveway with it. $5900 with 81K on the clock, cheap for a 6th gen in Washington. Love it. I am waiting for my tax money to come back to me, then coilovers and sway bars.

wrecked my Geo... always liked the look of the 6th gen so i looked around until i found one. got it for $2100 with 160k from some old lady that had two of em.

Had my '94 GT4 WRC for a year or so, paid £5,100 with 34,000 miles on it, the previous owner had spent £3,000 on it in the last year fitting a bigger turbo etc.
I bought it because I had owned Lancia Delta Integrales in the past and knew 4WD+Horsepower=Fun and when I saw the condition the GT4 was in, it would have been a crime not to buy such a beautiful car in such good condition for such a low low price.

i got mine as my 1st car because my grandmother owned it b for me and bought it brand new in 1994.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

i got mine cause i was sharing a car with my grandma and totaled it.

got her 3 years ago, with err 130K on it i *think* maybe less, she was $1,500.

i got mine when my toyota pick up wasn't running right, i needed some thing to drive and there were 2 celica's sitting at are shop so i had to choose a 5th gen or athe 6th gen. i got the 6th cuz it looked so much nicer but hey it was free, then like 4 months later i found out about this site.

[crismillencolin]

i bought mine from ebay ..... in august'ish of 05 - paid like £1800 for it 94 with 96k on it

originally was looking for another prelude but the toyota was too good a deal to miss

[kenjamatic]

Last March. Had been looking at a 7th gen because I wanted a reliable Japanese car, stick shift and kinda sporty, but went with a 6th gen due to money issues. Though after I got this one repaired I could have had a 7th gen. Never mind. She's beautiful, and I hope that she lasts. And, $7300 for a 95 vert with 87k miles. Not a bad deal.

It looked nice and I wanted something that was seen rare driven around. So, after working with my uncle repairing a motel. I was paid 2.5K and with a little help from my parents I bought the Celi for 4.5K. Soon after a month the celi broke down so I went and swapped in a 4age and here I am today. Although the Celi is rare, it is also underpowered.

[BBoYRuGGeD]

bought my celi for $7,000 with 62,000 miles. the dealer wanted $9,000 but i talked him down cuz he thought it was a GT....i had to educate the guy...muwahahahah! it WAS an automatic ST limited edition ('97)...but now its something more FUN to drive

I wanted a convertible with some power and a back seat for under 20K. After realizing that my options were mustangs, or camaros/firebirds, or old beamer's, I started to think about buying a slower car and swapping engines. I briefly considered a DSM but then decided on a 6gc. I did some research and determined that I wanted either a 98 or 99 due to the convertible motors and then spent several months looking for a nice black 98 or 99 with manual. I bought my car from a dealer in Madison, WI (about 4 hour drive) for $9100 in February 04. She is very close to complete. As for my initial price range, well, I didn't quite make it but it has been fun.

I bought my car because i wanted to buy a stock import and make it how i wanted it. Well i seen the celica in 01 when i was 16 and really wanted the car, They wanted $12,500 for the car, It only have 7,000 miles on her. Well i didn't have a job so my brother bought it. GRR pissed me off, well then towards the end of 04 my brother lost his job and couldn't afford the loan, so i took it over for $6,000 and since then she's been running good, and looking better and better every year

This is my first car. I bought from an old lady who had 110k on it. bought it for 5k. My first pick was an mr2 but my folk didn;t like it because of the space and compact of the car. Looking througth the newspaper and internet, i came upon 94 celica gt manual and test it like three time to make up my mind. this car is very reliable and haven't had an major problem with it. have it since 2001

[97lestyousay]

I was looking at Audi A-4s after giving up on a 6gc, most were all high miles
or trashed if I could even find one. There was one on the lot at the audi dealers
$9700.00 with 50,000 miles in June of 2003. I prolly wouldn't have been looking
for any car if my spoiled brat rich exgirlfriend hadn't thought my truck was so Redneck.
Thanks spoiled brat rich exgirlfriend.

I got mine because my old MKIII supra crapped out on me, and as i was parking it/puttin it up for sale at my grandparents place, their neighbour across the street had his/my celi for sale. Checked it out, liked it, borowed some $ from my dad, bought her and never looked back. I had $2500 saved up for swapin a turbo motor into the supra and converting it to 5 speed, but there was 2 much work other wise. So i borowed $2000 from my dad and bought my celi, and every thing from there on has been done with my $. Oh and paid dad back the $2000. So in other words, for a 94 GTS, 124xxxkm on it, 5 speed, 64 year old ownr from the time it was new, not abused what so ever with 2 minor spots of dmg $4500 with taxes and all the fees and stuff that goes along with buyin a car.

I got my celi sept of 04 when my brother lost his friggin mind & decided to get a crappy civic. He didnt really wanna see the celica leave tho & i loooved it so he took me to dairy queen to put in an application & they hired me so i got the celi.

[TheStreetzKing]

gas was to much for my 98 dodge ram, went to the dealer was looking around, saw the celica, said how much, he said come back tomorrow and ill make u a deal, went home and said hey mom bought a car, shes like oo how is it, i was like yea idk, went back the next day the guy said alright heres a check for a grand and heres the keys, i said thanks, i went back to hand the dealer something and it was funny some lady was yelling at him that she wanted the celica for her kid but it was gone, haha he said he had 5 offers that day to, i could have probly sold the car on the spot for about 8 grand cause the lady wanted it so bad, but i decided to keep it because i used to want one a long time ago, jus never could find it
