Wow. so the time has come to put a for sale sign on it. CRAZY! Im looking at getting a new car but I need a $6,000 down payment on the car im looking at due to my lack of credit history so I need to find money ASAP. My dad is being optimistic and think that we will sell it for like 3g's but he also says we need to find someone who wants to commit to the 3sgte swap because they are most likely to buy the celica since its in excellent condition if you want to do the swap because all the GT4 exterior parts are there (except high beam lights)
In the end its a celica in decent shape but with a tired motor. What am I looking at getting for it? Is it possible to ask for 3,000? Its so hard to see it go. I want to keep it so badly but I know that if I do that it will be like a trophy. It will just sit there collecting dust. I cant sell it to a girl though :-( or to someone I know because Ill get mad if I ever see it wrecked. -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

How many miles are on it?
Personally I think you could sell it for more ($4-5k) Around here, crappy beat-up automatic celicas sell for around $5000.00 Sux to see it go though, celicas are such good cars... Hope things work out for the best! Good Luck. --------------------  CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |

You could probably get more than $3K for it. If I could afford it, I'd probably take you up on this for a 3s swap. If you ever want to part out, I'll trade ya front bumpers and hoods + money. Otherwise, GL on the sale.

I sold my hatch for 5400, so I'm sure you can get more than 3K out of it.
And I keep telling you, lets swap headlights +$ before you sell it. And what are you doing about the wheels? -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
