Ooh.......I like this guy!!!! laugh.gif
Just had to do a registration renewal and will be driving it today and for a couple of weeks it looks like. Hate bringing her out in this winter WX, but when your daily crunks on you, there's not much of an option.
NEED to sell. Car has lost the front splitters due to a garage lip incident (pic on facebook). Nose is fine. Been driving it and its solid otherwise.

First $6000 OBO. Someone buy this, I have an opportunity I can't miss.
Man oh man I would've totally bought this bad boy a few months ago. Wish I discovered 6gc.net before buying my 6gc haha. I got my car 100% stock, drove clear to Tennessee (over 1k mile trip) for mine and was ordering parts for it all the way home. I spent like 6200$ just in THAT day and my car isn't even swapped yet haha. Ordered TRD springs, kyb g2 struts, all new mounts, injen intake, 0 gaurge big 3 upgrade wire, 250$ battery to run sub's, alpine power pack amp, nvx components 6.5 and nvx coaxils, 12 inch sub nvxs top of the line forget what its called, alpine monoblock amp, nvx 4 gauge wiring kit and pioneer double din touch screen the 22 watt ems one the higher end pioneer not the junk 14rms/2v out puts. haha. I spent a **** ton plus paid 3000 for my Celica. So spent 3200 out of pocket just on the way home. I mean I had 12 hours to kill.
Looks like I've likely managed to get a new set of front splitters so car should be sold with them back on and pretty closely color matched as I will be having them professionally refinished and there's a HOK paint that's VERY VERY close to the mixture on the car. So she should be whole again.

Again $6000 or best offer. I really need this to go, my opportunity to get my twin turbo Corvette back is NOW and not for long as the current owner is finalizing a deal on a newish CTSV and he needs to move the Vette to get it. I do NOT want to lose my opportunity to get my car back.
Big time bump. Need to sell. Am all set of getting my Vette back save for selling this car.

$6000 obo.
Make me a reasonable offer. Worst I can say is no.
smile.gif $3,000

It's all good. I'm just hoping to get this sold.......soon.
I'm surprised no one has jumped on it yet, it's a great price for a great car. I really can't think of any FWD car that could beat it, especially for the money. Have you tried posting in general import groups? Surely someone out there would want it.

I thought about it, but I'm not really a member of any of the import groups, and I don't want to be "that guy" who joins simply to sell a car. I don't allow it on the forum I own/run and don't want to do it to someone else's group/forum. I'm honestly surprised it's not been jumped on either. You would have to spend at least 15K to replicate this car, and finding a good base to start with becoming harder and harder without finding rust, dents, etc. This car is PERFECT for the person who want's a over the top type of project. It's a solid foundation, and the next steps are full suspension (coilovers mainly), full standalone ECU (think megasquirt), and really tear into the motor mods to make some substantial power (turbo, injector, cams, etc). For $6K it's a steal.
I'm astonished it hasn't sold yet. kindasad.gif

I hate to advocate its use, but Facebook groups in your local area might be the way to go. Most people join to sell/buy/trade anyway, and some are even dedicated to it.

I've got it on a couple of the local ones, but that doesn't get a ton of exposure.
Hmmm.... Perhaps taking it to a few local shows might help get it out in the public eye. I don't know, the only thing I can figure is maybe most of the potential market is diehard Honda or DSM fanbois and the rest would rather opt for something RWD.

Shows pose two problems. A, not my scene. B, no time. I've had it out to some of the local hangouts, but here, if you're not packing a domestic car pushing at a minimum of 650-700 RWHP, you're ignored.
Not really sure then. Only thing I'd know to do is try eBay again and whore it out wherever you can. It took me ages to find someone that wanted my Celica for what it was, and not just as "some car". It was mostly stock too, and I ended up selling it when I had decided I'd keep it(funny how that works). Really for whatever reason those into imports just don't care for the Celica at all it'd seem.

Yeah, the Celi's are an unheralded gem. It got a HUGE response on a area code based facebook page, people were going gaga over it "OMG, SICK" and all that stuff, but no one wants to make a move on it.

I'm tempted to throw it up for auction with a reserve but don't want to spend the money on it because that piles up quick.

You could probably get what you're looking for price wise by parting it out the whole thing. I know you don't have the time, but it really seems like the best option since it isn't selling.

Never going to happen. But I know I'd have the TRD shifter sold, lmao. I've had SO many requests from people to pull that off and sell it to them.
Your car is IMO one of the sexiest rides I have seen, here or otherwise! I have been watching this since you first put her up shortly after I joined last year. I actually tried calling my bank to see if they would let me refinance my car loan as a double or give me a second one for that matter. I have even tried to talk my future son in law into buying her....well buyin mine so I could buy her that is biggrin.gif . I could buy yours, if I put everything I am working toward doing with mine on hold, in like 6 months. Wish you had the time lol. And, not that my opinion matters, i agree wholeheartedly!!! Don't part her out unless you have NO other options. Good luck.

PLEASE SOMEONE BUY THIS..........and hold it for me for 6-8 months laugh.gif

Wouldn't hurt to try a BIN with Best Offer, then have it set with immediate deposit for BIN to eliminate any cheeky people.

That's what I had it up as. 6K BIN with BO, immediate $500 deposit. Had over 2500 views, almost 60 watchers, ONE guy who was asking questions, not even a single offer. Bunch of leg humpers on ebay is all.
