7 to 9 k
if its an st model it should cheap= slow
if its a gt model then it will be bit more expensive= average speed

Hey...! I had a $12,000 offer on my ST Celica, mainly because of the rims and system, but still!

Also I believe convertible model Celica's were all GT. There are a couple convertibles being sold on Ebay and Autotrader for $11,000+ with a handful of bids.

Well my Celica Convertible had low milege, loaded etc etc...it was about 20K used at dealership. I got all that certified crap and negotiated it to $14,200.

Bought it at Cabe Toyota in Long Beach in case anyone was curious.

Not bad for a near brand new celica.

I can't believe that you guys paid that much for you Celicas

it's not that you got ripped off, but all i'm saying that if you

added couple more $ you could've driven a freaken Supra...

Sorry but all 6g US Celicas are so damn slow, pathetic

(ps including my own)

That's what i thought too. You're better off with a non-convertible because the celica is overpriced, it has a great resale value though. The car is good hitting the corners. I have hit the corners at 45 mph w/ no problem, you can even hear the freak'n tires squeek too. Even thought my celica is slow, i pretend it's fast =)

Okay, here's what you do.
First, you call the guy and ask to look at it. After looking at it and taking it for a spin, make note of the mileage and all the features. Make an objective assessment of the car's overall condition. Don't forget to check the wheel wells and underneath the doors - as well as the rest of the car, for rust.
Then go here:
http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/kw.kc.uy?kbb....3&15243;p&716&& and punch in all your information. Use the KBB value as your guide. If he's offering to sell it for lower - fine! If not, take into account anything that would lower the value and use that to bargain down.
One last piece of advice, Toyotas are good cars - so be more concerned with the body condition than what parts it needs ( e.g. new brakes, muffler, etc.) Good luck!

I'm tired of hearing Supra rants.
If you're for speed than why the hell do you even think about purchasing a 6th gen celica. You'll be much better off with oldschool cars. -No more comment.

Hey cruwl, I don't know if you've seen this one in the paper, but i'll type the ad for you.
____________________________________________________________
Toyota 1997 celica convertible soft top(no sh*t). Excellent condtion, low miles, beautiful, MUST SEE! call for details. 724-9043.

Since it don't show the price, they probably want an arm and a leg for it, but the ad caught my eye. Hope you can find one soon. there are maybe a dozen of these cars in the valley, so they are hard to come by. >>

Later,
Joe

EDIT: I guess if I would have reread the first post I would have seen that you found this one already, sorry about that:EDIT

yeah i saw it thanx.

my mom talked to the owner of the park n sell and when im ready hes going to talk to the guy running it and see if he cant get the price lowered a little bit. im pretty sure that car has been sitting there for like a year or somthing. i was looking at it a couple months back but i thought it sold. i might of be wrong it might be a diff one.

oh well hopefully a new job will help and ill have one by the time a graduate

"""""CRUWL"""""""

hey what do you think me and you make a deal...

I'll sell you my car, with everything on it, for good price...

(look at profile for pics and extras... details available as well)


Why wait for the car to be in shop for months to come, and

this way you can finance it for the whole amount, so don't

have to live from paycheck-paycheck, and you get bad-ass car

right away...!!!!

make me an offer....

(trying to get Supra or IS300)
