FS Clean 97 celica GT Sold, please close Options

[epocsirhc]

All right still trying to sell my celica without any luck. A bit of background on the car. I purchased the celi from the original owner over a year ago who sold it due to having a child in her later 40's(kinda weird). She leased the car new and then decided to keep it from there. I have all of the maintenance records since new! Since I have bought the car I have done regular maintenance and then replaced the cracked old radiator, replaced both axles,etc. I always change the mobil 1 at 3000 miles. I cannot tell you how clean this car is since the original owner and I took care of it like our baby. Right now the mileage is just over 95.5k and the modifications I have done to the car are: jdm tails(still have originals in great shape) and a pioneer headunit(still have stock double din) those are the only modifications done to the car. The asking price is 5000 obo and I am interested in some trades and I don't mind trading down or up with cash on my or your end. I forgot to mention the car is located in Penn Valley, Ca and that it is a clean title. If there are any questions let me know now onto the pictures.

There is now a brand new pioneer headunit installed but htis is to show how clean the inside is.

The GT-4 raiser blocks and two post have been sold, no new holes were drilled.

Lets get this thing sold.I got an alignment and had all of the tires balanced today. Here are some more pictures. Just to let you guys know I have the stock three post spoiler but I prefer the spoilerless look and I will be reinstalling the stock foglights.

Got a trade offer through craigslist but I would rather see this go to someone off here. 200 views and no offers or opinions whats up?

[spolski07]

willing to ship?

5K is slot a lot dude. It's nice but I gave 3500 for mine and that's with a newly rebuilt 3sge and full exhaust and some other goodies. You can get a 300hp civic or a pretty nice 240sx for 5K

[epocsirhc]

willing to ship?

At the buyers expense.

Jumpin-I think its a fair price especially since it is a low mileage car that is bascially stock. If you want to buy a honda or 240 that has been beet to hell go ahead and buy that. Anyways the price is or best offer.

[JuMPiiN]

I wasn't bagging on your car dude. Mine was low milage too. I just don't think anyone on here will pay 5 for it. But all in all glws.

i want too say thank you.

its people like you that make our cars worth more $$

our cars are worth 4-5g's i hate too see them sold so cheap.

Jumpiin, those cars you see with the full exhausts and the upgraded engines, etc. means (most likely) that they have also been driven hard. Which is a reason why they sell so cheap. Up for sale here is pretty much the opposite. A low mileage, original motor, perfect condition car that has always been driven the "right" way and never abused.

I have seen this car in real life twice and I can tell you its MINT. And he doesn't drive like an idiot, either.

What I'm saying is, cars that have a lot of money put into them and driven rough = cheap. Cars that have little to no money put into them and were always taken well care of and driven safely = $$$.

Anyways, good luck with the sale Chris.

People need to realize it isn't hate to come in here and let a guy know that a price is way high. It deserves the respect and a small bump in value for being low mileage and well taken care of. Most people that point this out are looking to buy or have the experience of selling their celi and are offering their advice. What you shouldn't do is come in here and make stuff up like cars that have a lot of money put into them are worth less - absolutely false. Upgrades are only worth a fraction of what the owner put into them... but they still almost always add some value to a car. I'd love to see your list of swapped 3sgte celis selling for less than stock.

Beautiful celi deserves a bump, ignore my rant if you want. Good Luck.

KBB puts the car at $5142 so i think its a fair price guys

Like i said not bagging... it is nice... i just dont think anyone would pay 5 for it. and as you can tell i said "all in all glws." and gave a friendly BUMP. Bc it is nice... and not all cars are driven to hell that go for that price. 3500 for mine with 52K miles on the odometer and runs like a champ. Also it may be different up north but down here where i live my buddy just sold his 5yr project 600hp 93 Si hatch for 6500. he drove it uhmm 4 times. and put easily triple what he sold it for into it. I can list more cars from the local scene here that are sold for 5 or a little over that arent trashed or driven hard... Maybe its bc of where you live that people buy cars for that much..... and like i said before glws. best of luck.

What do you mean people like me.... I LOVE MY CAR and im proboly going to keep it forever and just keep putting money into it.. I dont think i'd ever sell it or trade it bc its my baby. I just think 5 is high for a older car thats stock even tho his is mint and pretty much perfect. But where i live nice cars like that dont get sold for much. KBB on mine when i bought it was 5300 2 years ago and i bought it bc i got it for a steal half of that..... so GLWS bra. it is a really nice Celi i just think its a little much.

Jumpin- it seems like cars in cali are going for more than in louisiana. Any civic with a 600hp motor is like 7500. What was it a built gsr or k?

John-thanks for the kind words!

[JuMPiiN]

4500. But I do understand why your asking 5 it's very nice. I've visited Cali twice it's crazy expensive compared to here

[epocsirhc]

Bump, car might be leaving my life Sunday.
