feel free to submit 6th gen Celica banners too! thanks!

Well this car needs a lot of changes. Especially for having a nickname of "diablo." we ve been talking it through and I think it may happen. As for my car vs his, I know it's worth more. Basically he's buying mine I'm buying his. Mine is more.

I dunno? i get bored.

^Yeah i guess so. i wish i could find a ae with a 3sge for a similar trade

^haha thats more what i was looking for.

also how does it get the name of "el diablo" with stock celica seats? should be more bad a than that

So this is where I am at.



2008 STI

13,000 miles

NADA Books at: $29,525


As for parts the car has:

VOLK TE37 18x9.5 +22 Offset

MSRP:$3620



Tein Monoflex Coilovers:

MSRP: $2300



Chargespeed Bottom Line Front Lip

MSRP: $409.99



Rally Armor UR Flaps

MSRP $140 (I think, their site is down right now)



Pioneer F900BT Double Din

MSRP $1099



OEM Cargo Tray

MSRP $69.99



All Weather Mats:

MSRP: $59.99



Project Kics R40's

MSRP $300



In addition I have the gold BBS, Hankook Ice Bear Snow Tires, Tint, Clear bra on hood, full bumper, headlights, fender splash guards,mirrors

+NADA doesnt take into account the added options like BBS, etc. Original sticker was 40k



I am asking only $31,500 for everything on it so basically there are about 8k in parts you are getting for 2k at that price. The wheels sell used for about $2600.


Basically if you were to take my sticker price and everything at msrp my car is worth 50k, but I realize that resale of cars and parts does not work that way. I agree that this is rare and very nice, but I am having a hard time seeing where the 18 comes into play. I think he is probably a reasonable guy, so I will discuss it with him as well, but I wanted to get some backbone on this. I dont wanna low ball him, and I dont want to be low balled. Thats all.

You can ask anything you want on anything you sell, the question is what this would be worth. I would highly doubt you would find anyone who thinks this is WORTH 18k. That is why I am posting is to see what others aside from myself would think this would be worth.

Do you think 18 is a pipe dream? Plus keep in mind he probably bought it with all the work done for less than he is asking and that was a few years ago.

I know I am being skeptical, but for 18k there are some insane ae86's that would run circles around this.

*The reason I ask is he is wanting to trade me + cash on his end for my sti, and I feel like that is quite a lot he wants unless I start charging extreme premiums on the parts on my car. My wheels alone were $3600

still though, 18k? The shell is probably 1k, swap is probably 5-6k including tranny, and cluster and labor (thats a highball on that), seats are like $200 max for both, Cage is maybe $200, Coilovers like that go for about 800 used, 1200 new I think, LSD probably was 600, AEM's go for about 1500 maybe? (im not too sure on the standalone aem's), T3 Rca's are about 120 new, wheels are probably worth like 1k for all 8 with the tires on them, and that is the majority of what he has on the car. Really clean interior umm I will add 500 to the shell for that. Only comes to about


$11,920 or so? (Did the math in my head)

So this guy is selling this car, but I have no idea where he is getting 18k for what it's worth?

Does this seem like good pricing to you? I was thinking like somewhere near 10-12 would be a bit more appropriate.

Anyways I know this isnt a classic celica forum, but what do you think?
here are some pics:

yep i think thats his. i see bill (the old cop car) back there so it must be the same shop.

soon my son. I also just got invited to that group that has the stormtrooper tk cars. haha so i ll get a couple of stickers for that.

haha thanks thats mine. its not really done though still.

18's and staggered. I guess he looked it up and his set up with the staggered fit works with the awd.

they are sport max wheels. the pics dont show it but they are a gunmetal with polished lip. I think he is going advans or something later.


ha he just finished it! I can't imagine he'd wanna sell it already. I think he has like 24k into the thing with all the shipping etc costs.

^its seriously time you move away from the hondas and get back on the toyota track

well since i took the pictures i ll post some about it! haha the color is the gunmetal on the ISF I believe. Not sure on the name of the paint code. He bought the GT4 in Japan, had it cut in half and sent over. While here he purchased a USDM Shell and totally stripped it. Then he changed out the rear floor pan and moved everything over. In essence its a GT4 with us vins. The only usdm parts are the shell and some of the mounting parts on the rear. Once he joins officially on the site im sure he will make a build thread and give everyone more info!

Not a ton of pics, but my buddy just finished his Celica GT4 so I took a couple of pics of it today.

I am from Oregon as well! I currently am living in utah though! I was just there last week!
