i was talking to a friend of mines and he said he found a 1999 celica for 7k. it's got a little over 140k miles but pretty mint with no rust. is it worth that 7k just for a celica? i mean you have to factor in its reliability and all other toyota crap like usual wink.gif let me know what you guys think because i have no clue. i still see some 6th generations still popping at 4-6k with 120k+ miles. they're getting rarer and rarer. you also have to consider that because it's harder to find one. ill have to talk to him

If it's at a dealership, that shounds about right...If not, it's too much from a private party imo.

7k is a good price considering the miles if it's from a legit dealership. I paid 8k for mine from a dealership w/ 77k miles and all the options. If it doesn't have the goodies i'd say 6-6.5k.

Those sound like pretty decent prices. I'm pretty sure mine has ABS.

Well I paid $9500 AU on the road for my 95 sx with 140 xxxkm on the clock a few months ago from a dealership.

No rust, interior in good condition, motor is fantastic the old girl had it all fully serviced by toyota

They seem to hold there price here in Aus.

I paid $2600 for my 99 GT hatch fully loaded with 135k. Needed just a bit of cleaning up, and the driver's window regulator was messed up but nothing major. Could turn around and sell it for $6-7k if I wanted, a dealer would probably ask $8500.

I've got about 143k on my '99, so the mileage doesn't seem too bad. its been my daily driver for 7 years now and the only repairs i've had are a right front wheel bearing, and a clutch.

I would say you never know about a used car with high mileage, old-ish year, and beautiful appearance. Either you are getting a good deal, or someone is about to have their way with your wallet (if you were to end up buying this car). I can say from experience that just because the car looks immaculate on the outside, it may be a big fat problem the last owner didn't want to deal with. We bought my old (now it's dads) '91 Chevy Camaro in april (already 99 degrees farenheit in louisiana) with 178k miles, 5 inches of shrivelled vinyl on the top, and some exhaust fumes comming back into the cabin (I always had the windows or more down) for 6,500. It ran like a beast until it started getting colder and my dad and I have replaced the fuel filter, water temperature sensor, temp guage, switched to a heavier oil (the engine wasn't holding enough oil pressure) air flow sensor, map sensor, oxygen sensor (no it's not the computer if thats what you're thinking), rebuilt the throttle body, replaced the fuel pump and were still stumped. If you're thinking of going for that car, seriously-inspect EVERYTHING. I'd hook it up to a computer too, just to see if the car's computer is giving any bad readings. You might should go far enough to have a shop look at it.

^ You made good points. I briefly thought the same about my car, however it was purchased at a Ford dealer, so I didn't think they would sell a crappy car.

And I wasn't wrong. biggrin.gif
