Hey Everyone,
I'm just curious as to why everyone bought their sixth generation Celica.

I bought mine because I saw a red hatch with 17" Focal Z1 rims at school a couple years ago, and I fell in love with the looks of the car! I thought I'd never be able to afford one, but I got a pretty good job more than a year ago and now I'm loving life with my Celi.

My mom used to have this car, but she bought a new Honda Accord, so she gave me my car. I havent had it long, but ive got some TRD stuff on there already.

I just didnt want something (honda) that everyone and their mom had one or two of the hole time I've owned my celica I've only seen 5 in about a 1 year and a half.

One day I needed a ride home from work and my friend picked me up in his parents teal 94 GT. I loved the "cockpit interior" from then the celi was a serious contender in my mind for what car I wanted. Then I saw a silver one and there were douts.

>>Well I used to have a 92 GTS and my parents asked me what car I would liek to have and they would help me with the payments and I said new Celi and we FOUND ON>>>>>YEAH YEAH YEAH!>>

my friend talked me into it after i totalled my mustang, i actually was looking at a civic si, but i'm so much happier that i have my celica, it's a nice looking sports car with a luxurious interior (mine came with leather seats and woodgrain dash trim). plus there are very few 6th gen celicas in my town.

I bought mine because I was having to pay for my gas at the time and I really wanted a 4Runner 4x4. But after looking at the mpg on it I said nope. Then I saw a friends 94 st and I loved it. I had seen some before and thought that they were sexy, a little bro to the supra. I worked my but off for 2 years to save up for one. I had been looking for one for a while but all the one that i found were a long drive and my dad said wait till we find one closer. Well I did and I bought it. The rest is history.

saw it, loved it, bought it.

well heres what hooked me with the celica i was in a friends CRX one day and we lined up to this light and this red celica lined up next to us well we both gunned it and the celica killed him by like 5 car lengths after that i was hooked

well i got mine because of its rareness. i wanted something different so here i am

everything i ever wanted in a car and more:
AWSOME PRICE
low (54K) miles
looks
handling
awsome interior
5spd
white
comfortable to drive
runs forever
GETS THE LOOKS!
rareness
possabilites (3sgte)
great looking bodykits
the list goes on...

I got my Celica because my uncle works at a Toyota dealer. I'm glade that he his other wise i would have ended up with some other make.

this past summer when i was looking for a car, the celica actually never came across my mind. i had been looking at lots of civics and eclipses, couldn't find anything for the right price. i went to the mistu dealer a week after i'd already been there and was set on buying this prelude i saw the previouse week, well i got out to test drive it and the guy comes out and says someone just bought it. so i was super pissed, so i drive around some more looking at cars and we just HAPPEN to stop at the toyota dealership. so me and my dad start to browse around the used car lot and can't find anything, so just as we are about to walk to our car , i see the black ST out of the corner of my eye. and i just new i had to have it. i really wanted a 5spd, but this oppurtunity was TOO GOOD to pass up. i mean how often do u find a 1994 Celica with only 68,000 miles on it? so we take it for a test drive and the rest is history

now the only complaint i have is i wish it was a 5spd, DOH!

-Brian

I can't make it more than a few miles driving around without seeing a Civic or Eclipse, and I knew I wanted something different. I couldn't afford a 7th gen Celica, so I found this great 6th Gen, Silver, 40k miles and I was hooked.

Problems? Well, same as you celicaBEst, I've got an auto, and it's an ST so it's slower than slow.

If there was one car besides this in similar price range it would probably be a Prelude, due to rarity and unique looks.

>> >> >> >>There was a car that i had wanted since i was in the 10th grade... i passed it every day on the way to school. it had stx on the side of it and at that time i didn't know what it was...jump ahead almost 4 years later...i saw the celica that i have now on the side of the road in pretty bad shape...i thought i should buy it... fix it up and it'd be something to race in (and it wasn't a Honda Mitsubishi or Ford). A few weeks later i saw thatvery same car of the past with stx on it parked outside the mall (the same color and everything)...i looked at the back finally and saw it was a celica...who knew that the car i had wanted for so long was the one i was thinking about buying...i guess it was destiny..that next week i get my own 6th Gen...the rest is history

This is long story but 1 that I will always remember....

I was coming home from school 1 day my senior year on ( the big cheese). My mom calls me and was like i bought you a car. My first impression was like "****" she probably bought me a saturn or some POS. So anyways when i get home my brother is waiting to take me to carmax to get my car. The whole ride up there i call my mom and asking her what i got. Of course she messes with me and wont tell me. When i get there my mom is outside with the car salesman. So of course im like so what u get me... She tells me its somewhere in this parking lot and to go find the car u like most. So of course there was a 97 integra gsr w/ full body kit and all hooked up. My Face lights up She immediatly says no and i kinda get frustrated but kept my hopes up. Out of the corner of my eye i see the little red hatchback. I didnt know what it was because never really was into celicas. Im like " this one". The care salesman walks over to me hands me the keys and says "its yous". I think that was the happiest day of my life! I have been in love with celicas ever sence and take pride in driving my car. I dont mean to sound like im spoiled because I have worked ever sence i have been 14 and my mom thought i earned it. I still am paying insurance and the whole 9. Just thought i would share my story with you all.

Wow, that's story's definitely a 10 man. Actually, both of yours are. For me, there's a Supra I see every so often driving around my city, turbo...who knows, 5-10 years maybe right?

uh you got killed in a crx?? by a celica?
must have been some nice gt
my friend has a crx but i cant get at him with my st

anyway i got my celica cuz my mom likes em a lot... (the car is actually still my moms) we've had a 4th gen before but i trashed it
at the moment it felt really bad
but when i look at it now it was idunno not cool to trash the old one(definitely not) but now i have a hot 6th gen!!
6th gen rules!
i really like em a lot
would only do it away if i could get a supra instead

Too broke to buy a Supra...

i was in okinawa and didnt have anything to do so bought a game for my play station called tokyo extreme racer 0 the first car was the st205 i got that car and beat the first half of the game with it... while out in town i saw a gt4 in real life... it was love at first sight... as soon as i returned to america i bought a st204 almost immedently... the rest is .. how you say history

Which celi are you loving life with? the one your trying to sell, or the one your parting out, or the junker 4th gen(s)? hehehe!!!!! JK COOM >>

I got my Celica because I was sick of the high car payments I was making on my Jetta. So I searched auotrader.com & found & fell in love w/ my celi >> Had to drive 3 hours to get it but it was worth it! Plus who doesnt love an excuse for a road trip

Wow - didnt think it would be bumped...

and why not this is historical lol i vote for stickyness

-DMC

got lucky...i was 17 and i just got my license. saw it parked on the street and it looked amazing. luckily it was for sale.....took it for a ride and bought it the next day. bought the car in 2001

I second that.

I also bought mine because it was hawtness @ cheapness.

BECAUSE THE CHICKS DIG IT

not really. but i like that song. I got it because it was humplicious.

Cuz its a Celica, cuz it is unique, cuz its not so common, cuz it is toyota, and cuz it is plain sexy......

Its part of my life, and SHE is responsible for the person i am now >>

im starting to g et all teary eyed doggy that was beautiful...
