alltrac still no go :( Options

[MaskedMan]

Ok i have a dilema, i have not been able to sell my Alltrac, the best, and pretty much only offer i got was from this guy wanting to trade me his 92 miata for it. My Alltrac doesn't run and all, but do you think it would be a even or if anything a good idea to trade?

nonrunning this....

depends on the condition of the Miata... IMO Miatas are beyond fun, i've tinkered with the idea of owning one for years, but the winters here would be brutal in that car, and im 6'1, so it's not exactly roomy...

[j0e_p3t]

seems like a downgrade to me. but then again, your alltrac ain't getting you anywhere... literally. i say keep trying to figure out what's wrong with it and try to get it to work. take it to a toyota dealer or what-not.

[snapshotgt]

I would not do it.

[sinner96ST]

they're fun but a running alltrac > miata, any day of the week.

doesn't seem like a legit trade, you could probably score a miata for cheap if you saved up your pennies, even a used one wouldn't cost you that much. they've still been making miatas, the same can't be said about the alltrac.

then again, it's your choice. i know what it's like to have a car that isn't running and requires a lot of work - it's easier to get rid of it then to fix it up.

The miata also has low milage for a 92. it has 77k miles on it. I would love to get my Alltrac running and would take an alltrac anyday, but at the same time i dont even want to put any more money into it cuase i need money to pay for insurance and what not on the the BMW. If only i KNEW what was wrong with it, and knew how much money it would take it fix it... . I most likely wouldn't get the Miata to drive, but i would just get the Miata to sell it, becuase i figured a running car would be easier to sell. The Alltrac is near impossible to sell in this condition, or maybe im just asking too much cuz im so attached to it .

[IdiotStick]

Did you seek help on here as to why the ****er aint runnin? Im sure we could help you determine the problem, man.

[MaskedMan]

Well it's just hard to exactly describe the problem online. I say we call a 6gc "fix my Alltrac" meet haha.

[sinner96ST]

is alltrac.net still up? you could try over there, or search for some kind of GT-4 forum to ask questions...

not to disrespect, but this is the wrong forum to ask extremely technical questions about turbo'd AWD cars, most of us are used to our little econobox FWD usdm celica's.

edit: http://www.alltrac.net/phpBB2/

check that out and ask around on there, those guys would know more about your car & it's quriks.

You have another daily driver? Then keep the alltrac. It is going to be a collector car soon! - especially if its a 93. My prediction is that the value on a good condition 93 will exceed 30k in about 10 years.

[MaskedMan]

my Alltrac is a 91, sorry if i posted anywhere that it was a 93. 93's are very rare, weren't there under 100 93 models sold? I have an account on Alltrac.net (same name-MaskedMan), and im actually trying to sell it there and it's where i got the offer for the miata. I think im going to pull it off the for sale list, and just try to fix it again.

that is a better idea imo

you might be able to get more out of it then a miata..

or be able to fix it easily, keep it, and have fun with awd once again

[MaskedMan]

ok haha this puts me back to square one haha. It's just a pain in the butt cuase even if i do a JDM engine swap to it, it prolly still will have problems cuase i know my engine itself is good. haha ugh i have no idea what look at next. Maybe i'll tow it to school and have my teacher take a look at it. poop.

[asg14]

My friend has the same car. IM me on AIM and I'll see if you can get some help.

[creamed_corn]

Someone is willing to trade you a low-mileage Miata for something that doesn't run.


You're crazy if you don't take the offer.

bull sh*t. dont do the trade. get the AWD TURBOCHARGED car running as opposed to taking the easy way out and buying some ugly piece of scrap metal that is doing nothing but decreasing in value every year, as opposed to the all trac which, as is gets older and rare, will appreaciate in value. Also, the all trac is just as fun. Its light and nimble and its AWD to boot. +1 for the all trac!

thanks for the input everyone , I will just have to find some other way to pay for stuff. Atleast im not in debt..yet. =X. haha. Well i have been trying to get help from Alltrac.net but like it's just hard to get help from people that aren't here in person. The people there are great knowledgable people, but i have no idea who can help me, becuase most of if not all the people i knew with Alltracs have sold them and moved on .

My friend has the same car. IM me on AIM and I'll see if you can get some help. smile.gif

thanks man, i'll IM you in a bit.

[97sccelica]

ok, found out whats wrong

electrical problems.

i'll take a blown motor over electrical problems any day.

as for the trade, i honestly we go into the garage and test every single wire on the car before i give up. after that, swap out the ecu and injectors

Don't ever ask a question on 6GC that involves "Celica or XXX Vehicle." Go to a neutral site lol. Or decide for yourself. Drive the Miata...they're fun. Awesome for autocross too. I don't think Alltracs are anything great to be honest. Everyone sackrides them here. And to tell you the truth, it won't appreciate in value like whoever said here. If it isn't running trade it, get a FlyinMiata kit, and I bet you have a lot of fun.

[mbaran]

/\ yeah, cause i'd buy it.
