FS: 1995 Toyota Celica GT Options

[holson]

I'm selling my 1995 Celica GT

It's Anthracite Grey Metallic with 105k mi.

Manual transmission
power windows, moonroof, central lock, etc

Ever since I bought it, I've had the following done:

Timing chain (Toyota dealer)

Mobil 1 0w-30 synthetic and Bosch filter

Radiator flush and refilled (Toyota dealer)

brakes checked out
parking brakes adjusted

new OEM windshield and trim around it

4 Snow tires and Toyota OEM steel wheels with Toyota Camry 15" wheel covers
The tires are Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50s bought from TireRack

Pioneer Head Unit with CD player and I will provide the stock Headunit (double din with CD PLayer) - I installed the Pioneer HU using a wire harness so you can easily install the original radio back.

New wiper blades

The car runs really well and as you know these things are really fun to drive

Problems:

Driver's side headlight has some water in it
ABS light is on
Rear Wiper motor is dead but is now taken off so the front wipers work fine

Cosmetic imperfections:
misc. dings and scratches (it's not a beauty queen - but I'm a perfectionist)

dent in the passenger side quarter panel at the front near the side marker light

paint isn't that great near the front bumper area.

I'm asking for US$6,000 - If you'd like to negotiate please send me an email
holsonyap@rcn.com

Car can be seen near the BU (Allston/Brookline) area.

Thank you,

Not to be rude but the blue book on your car is 4,800 and that is being generous and saying it is in good condition , with the mechanical and visual defects its blue book is 4,300. I think your asking to much.

I would offer you 4,000 but I am in maryland and can't drive a stick so I couldnt even come pick it up and be comfortable enough to take it home.

I would be interested if we could arrange to meet somewhere closer to me and you would drop the price to around blue book.

Whole Sale = $4,900
Retail = $7,495

Not counting the Imperfections. You're good to go bro. Good Luck

I'm new to 6g , my friend (bojangles_8686) has one and im in the market for a new car around 5k and I want one cause of the many rides I've gotten from him since I wrecked my neon.

Where did you get those figures? i generally like to use blue book but yours seem to be skewed a bit higher. Wait

Wholesay = private party
Retail = dealer

correct?

edit: so I dont get flamed to high heaven I am a newbie and I was just going based on blue book, sorry for sounding like an idiot, and I definitly wasnt trying to bitch you out (orig poster) good luck selling the car, in my searches they are pretty rare around here (everyone has ST, blah!) so I assume they might be up there.

Good Luck

I have the program on my comp at work. I work at the bank.

Wholesale = private party
Retail = dealer

It's something similar to that but not in stone. Dealers just like to juice people for money.

[brianforster]

Wait so I was right , You just rounded up!

Besides the imperfections are the only reason why he wont get his asking price, the car would be worth 6 grand in mint condition

[LatinKraze]

The blue book does take minor dings into concideration tho. Mint would be a bit higher.

[boosted_K2]

KBB does not reflect the car market, its just a very base price. KBB says my car is worth 3,400 HAHAHAHA thats hilarious. The only time you see a MR2 turbo go for under 4k is if it is damn near totaled or the engine is missing.

[LatinKraze]

So far, the cars ive seen around sell at the KBB price.

I'm just testing the waters really. i might end up just trading it in... or keep driving the crap out of it til it drops
