I found a 1999 low mileage one owner Celica it only has 25k miles and they want 12k for the car. I know the price is crazy high but when are you ever going to find another 8 year old Celica that is bacically brand new. Should I pull the trigger or keep looking?

depends on how much you love the 6gc.
If you absolutly love the designs, i would definitly take a serious look at the car and try to talk them down. But yes that is way over prices for older model celica. Especially you can get 2000+ model for cheaper. |

Yes but what are you planning for the car, modification wise. 12k is a lot. you can find one that is 6k, and invest 6 k into it to your likings. A collector sure enough will pay even more to get a car in mint state. But he will keep it mint and garaged. If this is your daily driver and you put even 20 k in the next 2 -3 years, watch how the price of you car goes down the drain. I suggest you buy according to how you are going to use.. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

I bought my 99 GT HB Mint. 55,000 miles for $8999.
If your going to swap it. Find one with a good body, and lots of miles. |

Find one with a good body, and lots of miles. i agree with this. if you just want to get it to drive forever than get this one. or even if you plan on just doing exterior mods for a while then maybe several years down the road do a swap get this one. -------------------- Call me a traitor!

i pick up my 99 with 63635miles for $8341 out the door, i just looked at my reciept last night lol.
in all honesty 12 for a car with 25k miles seems fair to me -------------------- 2015 Subaru WRX. World Rally Blue/Black
2001 Honda S2000. Spa Yellow/Black |

I'd say do not get it if you're planning to do the swap. 25k, 50k or even 100k doesnt make much of a different when you swap over and mind you toyota engines are very reliable. Personally I'll only buy it if Im planning to turbo it or keep it the way it is. --------------------  98% completion --- aaRon |

you guys are pretty cheap.
i bought mine for more then that, with 30k on the clock. its great to have a car thats never been smoked in, and feels about as close to brand new as you can get. 6th gens can get pretty beat up looking over the years. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I say try to talk them down as much as possible.
Get it and keep it stock and clean. I got no doubt these will become a collectors items in the future. If you feel like modding it, maybe splitters and jdm projectors and tailight, it will look nice and clean. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

You guys are so bent on buying cheap cars that look like azz and dropping a 3sgte into it (which only 10% of you out there actually do...meaning about 90% of you are all talk). Personally id rather get the 99 with low miles and build it up slow rather than getting a POS 1,000 dollar Celica and modding it quick. ^^ Jared, all 99's are GT's -------------------- Note to new members.
