FS: FEELER: 98 GT 3SWAP - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #46397 39 posts Started by lagos
at this point, im posting this up as a feeler. there is a possibility that i might be forced to sell my car within the next 3-4 months. my family is planning a big move and i it would be a lot of trouble to try to ship my car, re-register it, and not even have a garage to keep in it, in another state. i know most of you will probably try to tell me to keep the car, and trust me, i really want to. but after thinking my situation over, i think its best to sell it.

here is what you get:

1998 Celica GT with 74,000 miles - i think im the 3rd owner on the car
Clean Carfax record
247hp and 270tq at the wheels.
the interior is as close to "like new" as ive ever seen on any celica. all black leather thats in excellent shape. the car has never been smoked in.

oh what?! now i really want you to keep it.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
yeah keep it, chanh did a swap, keep it keep it
thanks guys. trust me, it hurts me to let it go. ive owned this car for 5yrs, and put a lot of love and care into it. its my pride and joy (as sad as that might be ..lol ) . but ive carefully considered all my options, and i just cant afford to ship the car or drive it out there.

ill be the first to say i would sell, especially if you can get what you are asking. it would be stupid not to. good luck with the sale, someone is going to get an awesome car smile.gif sale it and get that evo you want

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
GL with the sale art! im sure the pictures speak for themselves but ive seen this car in person over the years, awesome shape/condition/paint! i think think only 3s swap out there with lower miles on the chassi is mine! buyer will not be dissappointed with this celica!
oh great! damn i would buy it but now im stuck with the corolla....ugh

truely one of my fav car in the 6gc community! if it doesn't sell within the next 3-4 months, ill grab it! wink.gif

glad you like it. as it stands right now, im probably going to be ready to officially sell the car in the next 3-4months, thats why this is just a "feeler" to give people some advance notice. so this would give you, and anyone else interested in the car, enough time to make a final decision and it would be right at the time frame that you were thinking of.

After you sell it what do you plan to buy next?
shipping isn't too expensive and buy a cheap car port tongue.gif keep it man you'll regret it when its gone. but if you dont GL with the sale.

Shipping isn't as bad as you may think. My friend shipped his 4-Runner from Hawaii for like 700 bucks... it's not that bad. Keep her Lagos... you will regret selling her. Trust me on that one. =)
buy me a plane ticket and I will drive the car from PA to CA for you! I used to live in PA and have made the trip by car more than once!

that's a halfway serious offer btw...

Let's do a donation for Lagos to transport it. I'm sure people won't mind with all the extensive help, advice you've posted. I wouldn't mind....
i agree - we can chip in and help him keep a great car.
haha you guys are awesome.

i have a few people show interest in the car. ill have to wait and see how things work out when/if the car is officially for sale.
i almost feel like im trying to sell a pet and not a car. i want to know what type of home they will give it and how they plan to mod it.. haha

I say keep the car in Philly area! - Oh that's right I'm one of those interested in buying it. smile.gif

it's new home could be in Glenmoore, PA and it's daily ride would be 80 mile roundtrip on the PA turnpike - it's just like your dog going to a new family with a huge yard to run in smile.gif
