check tracy toyota.. it's a drive, you gotta argue the price down, tell them you're gonna walk, and they should be able to get you something :)

Word of advice, dealerships will always try to jack you. They are *not* your friend. Best to go with a private seller. Even then, you will want to have the car checked out at a trusted mechanic and make sure the seller has all documentation of the car. Here are a few places to get you started:

I have a 2001 Mica Blue 6 speed with the original shiftgate. I have 32,000 miles on it. I don't know how much my car is worth. But then again, planning on selling it is out of the question as of right now. I love this car.

EB...i decided to back out on the flywheel install when put my lsd and act clutch in. i figured my car isnt really making enough HP and most likely by the time i get internal mods for the engine ill have to put another clutch in..so ill just wait till that time. BTW who told you gene gave it to me?? lol

damn eb.. u always mixing up stories man.. i said he had it but he mite give it to someone.. not i didnt give it to him.. lol..

anyways.. ms popular.. yea the dealer will rip u.. if u want the cheapest price on a used gts look for private owner.. i know u can get a 00 gts 6 speed for 17k.. but i dont know bout the miles.. expect a good amount.. and i know thats not wat uw ant..

i got my 00 gts 6 speed for 22k.. usual options and then some.. blah blah blah.. so dont let them try and sell u aused one for 20-21k..

just as an example.. there is a 2000 gts selling for 15k with 33k miles.. and htis is an automatic gts.. (damn sup wit the resale value.. gst and gsx with this much miles are still $$$)
so u know if u look u can get a 6 speed for this price.. here is the link to that automatic gts.. but i know u dont want that

I'm guessing it's cause the GST and GSX were hella expensive in 98-99. Cause they were the last of the high-horsepower turbocharged I4 (until its return in the WRX), a lot of dealers were selling them for as much as $27,000. Especially the GSX. Those sales made the their resale value inflated as a result. I'll be lucky if I can get $15,000 for my GT-S. :(

theres a 98 gsx that i was interested in getting.. 5 speed of course.. 50k miles.. goin for 10k.. its salvage title though.. i would get that.. but i found something else that is more of a priority.. muwahhaa..

and i can get a used car now.. so my options have opened.. haha.. but watever it is.. theres gonna be turbo on it.. i dont wanna have to go through all the problems u celica owners are having.. heh

Naw, don't get the 2g's. Especially if u mod them. Engine will crankwalk if u make too much power. It'd be better to get a 1g and mod the engine & tranny with GVR and EVO parts. ;)

If I were to get a Celica again (and I will cause I have too much love for the car cause I've already owned two), then it'd either be a GT4 (if I lose the Laser somehow) or a MKII Celica-Supra (RWD baby!!!). If its the MKII, you know there's no choice but to drop this fugker in...yah, 7MGTE conversion mofo (http://www.celicasupra.com/7mgte/)!!! Can u say 400HP to the rear wheels?! Bwahahaha!!!! :fawk:

But yeah, has to be turbo. PM me on what your options are. If I had a job and cash, it'd be a 'rex. But for now, it's my DSM. :werd:

Hey

I just bought a 6 speed 2002 Mica Blue Celica fully loaded last week and was thinking about selling it since I dont feel confortable driving a 6 speed all the time. I paid 21k with taxes for it. If u want give me an offer. THanks
