autotrader celi.. Options

[Valo666]

i went on autotrader.ca to see if theres any good celis on there(parts cars, resto's, one for my friend to buy) and i look on the site..and i find this..



and his comments are...

"Perfect condition show car. Been in shows all over Ontario. Custom paint silver/blue pearl with metal flake. Stored in winter. I baby her. 105,000 km. $16,000 obo. Buying Supra, need to sell". I e-mailed him to ask him about mods, he has 2 subs, cd deck, painted inserts and re-upholstered seats. Under the hood, he has..painted parts and a short ram he made. and he wants $16000 cnd. Im missing the 2 subs, ive got 7th gen seats, and dont have a body kit and my cars valued at $10500cnd . I love but hate how pricey celis are gettin

The problem with show cars is that they are made by taste of the owner. So color+rims+kit+interior does not have to be the same taste for a potiential buyer. And when "showing" the car its real stupid because you cant say that you did all the work when someone asks about it!

So usually they drop in price.

110% seconding that...buying "already-built" show car is weak

lol true, but if it's what you want, and you're not showing it.. who cares....

Wow... You would pay $16,000 for a 6GC? I don't even know what to say to that. I agree cars that are hooked up lower in price. Any mod that isn't an added option or something normally lower the value, like body kits and crap like that. But that's my opinion. I'm not really sure. I, personally, will only buy a car stock. Because to me, it's less likely to think the owner of the car hasn't raced it or ragged the car. But if it has a bodykit and some other mods, you know they've dogged the crap out of the car. Just my opinion.

16,000.00 CAD = 13,156.27 USD

still somewhat high..

but then again 103 000 kilometers = 64 001.2328 mi

[JoKeRkId613]

Yeah, 13,000. Somewhat high? Lol. For that you get a brand new car. Financing a used car like that is even more retarded. But if you got the money and like it then I always respect that. These are just my opinions. I wouldn't pay anything more than $4,000 for any 6th Gen. Just because it's old and will probably bring problems quicker than a new car that you can buy for $13,000, plus you'll have warranty.

EDIT: Even with those low miles. For that, I get an engine swap, put a 4A-GZE in for no more than $3,000 with 25,000 miles. New engine and tranny, plus it's supercharged.
