FS: My 1998 Celica GT, Black, has to go. Options

[richee3]

Just like everyone else on 6gc, I hate to do this, but many of you know the story. In summary, I have a 2002 Lexus IS 300 now, and the Celica has to go. I would rather keep the Celica since it's paid off and I just bought all kinds of goodies for, but things happen and it's not my choice. Anyway, it's a 1998 GT, 5 speed, black exterior, tan interior, power windows/locks, moonroof, cloth seats, alloy wheels. I'm sure as much as I have posted, most of you are familiar with the car, so I don't need to explain every single detail. I'll just hit the highlights.

The good:
-New battery
-Everything works as it should
-Body is in excellent shape, with the exception of very minor paint fade on the hood.
-Clean interior- no stains or anything like that.
-20% tint on rear windows
-Vincent_Doggy shift boot and arm rest cover
-Pioneer head unit with a direct iPod cable
-Memphis Power Reference 6.5" front speakers, factory rear speakers
-White keyring light
-Garage kept since the day I got it
-Runs great! I would have no hesitations taking this car on a cross country trip.

There are other things too, and I will add to that list for sure.

The bad:
-175,500 miles Just had a new driver's side bearing put in, fresh axle with rebuilt CV boots or some baloney like that.. I didn't really listen, I just cut the check and got it fixed. New front brake pads, both rotors just turned.
- Valve cover gasket leaks, but it's not bad. Roughly 1/2 quart every 3,000 miles.
-One itty bitty teeny tiny bit of rust on the passenger door, and another near the windshield. Neither is a big deal. I'm just picky and they bother me.
-Needs new front tires.

KBB has the car valued at $3,000-$5,000, and NADA is at $5,700, so I figure I'll split the difference and call it $4,000. I know it's a lot of money for a car with this mileage, but the price is flexible. It's in good condition for it's age and mileage. This car is the perfect candidate for a swap, daily driver, or really just about anything you feel like using it for.

I will edit this post with pictures later, after I have some time to get the car cleaned up a little bit. It's dirty right now. This is the car, but not as it sits today. I have removed the splitters and JDM tails. Otherwise, it's as is.

My camera seems to be missing, so excuse the cell phone pics. It's too cold to clean the car up, so it's dirty in the pictures. I try to keep it a LOT cleaner than this, but it's snowed here quite a bit lately.






I know the driver's side high beam headlight looks dirty in that picture, but the sun was behind me shining into the light. The lens is clean and spotless.











More up-to-date pictures coming later.

^ Sorry, that's not possible.

Good luck with the sale Daniel...you have my support. Traitor.

Folks, you'd be buying a well-taken care of car from one of the most honest people I've never met. Give it a good home.

Lol. Thanks, Ferdi. Thanks to everyone for the good luck wishes. I don't think the car will take any time to sell locally. I'll be sure to try and recruit the buyer to 6gc, unless it's some old lady or coal miner wanting a work car. Both are likely. But if it's someone who might be an enthusiast, I'll do my best to get them on 6gc.

I'll take this one as well: no, he can't afford that.

[richee3]

Lol. I hereby dub Ferdi as the official mod of this thread. I'd love to trade for the Alltrac, but as Ferdi said, funds are an issue.

Block- pics of the rust. Dirty, I know, but like I said, I am still driving this car every day, the weather is nasty, and I don't have any time to clean it up until I get ready to park it for good.
