Whats the best Celica for $2,500? I just sold my 99 Daewoo lanos because since the begining I have wanted a Celica, Where would the best place be to buy one in Chicago with the budget I have?
It was wrecked, so I had to rebuild it. If you wanted to fix it up, this is the best way to go-instead of paying thousands of dollars to take off factory parts, if they're already broken on a wreck, you can order the aftermarket. It's not under warranty, but I'd rather do stuff to my own vehicle anyway.
*I also had to get an 8,000 loan from bank to rebuild .
hehe . That's the shop I work at sometimes. We're rebuilding a 2002 Celica GT. The front half is black and the back half is red.
The red celica sucked-hadn't been taken care of, but the black one--OMG. Someone had a heck of a security system put on it-we couldn't get it to start lastnight, but they took it back apart (after it had been welded and painted AND put back together!) and cut all the wires. Someone had put some money in the car-had 18" Motegi MR8 rims and Falken Tires with TRD sport package-Areospeed coilovers and a catback exaust on it. But, they wrecked it and we got it. I'll take some pics of the finished product and post it. The Celi looks great now.
yea you can def find an older one for that... i just payed 2,500 for my 92 gt. 113,000 miles, power everything, sunroof. perfect condition. just look around.. it will be worth it.
I downed 5000 on my car and am still paying 380 a month for 5 years because I am a first time buyer with no "real" credit, so my interest was like 13%.
same here i put 4gz down and i pay around 350/month. btw jenn..VERY VERY nice celica...i mean it..veyr clean and aggressive..my celica was on the clean path..then i kinda went crazy..its in the shop for the next 2 weeks getting a whole make over...so ill post pics when i get a chance...i also need a new signature since my car will look different..anybody wanna help?..maybe we can modify the old one by tossing a new pic over the old one and keep the same background?
"You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your f------ khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."
I'd invest it in the stock market. Honestly, if I had 2500 dollars in one pot to blow. I'd seriously be upset w/myself if i blew it all on my car. I'd like for it to grow!!!
Thanks scoof, and yes, I agree with the stock market thing too. You could make more money for it, and I did notice about the 5th gen. thing too. Surely you could get a good celica alltrack for that, at least a downpayment-good luck with it!
no chance for a alltrac unless he gets a loan. and yes you can make money on he stock market but you can also lose it all. if your gonna invest stay away from teh stock market.
your young and want a car i say go for it, a guy has to ahve wheels and he already sold his
look in local classified papers also, they have 5th gens and have lower prices than used dealers.. honestly, i drive my 5th gen way more than i drive my 7th gen.
get a 1990 gt or gts hatchback, i just sold my 90 gts for 2400, it had 160k miles but she still ran like a champ, i loved that car, check out celicahobby.com, they have a lot of info on 5th gens...
