F/S: full st205 conversion, CAR IS SOLD!!!! Options

[celiman05]

hey im just curious on what i might be able to get for my car if i were to sell it.

its a 1996 celica st, fully converted to an st205, including 3rd gen motor and AWD. it has about 74K miles on it. the clip that i bought had 65K on it so i only put about 9K on it since it was completed.
it needs a new clutch, but i just bought a stage 3 (4 puck w/ uprated pressure plate) from techniclutch. i have plans to put that in this winter.
it was just recently painted in early spring.

check out my profile for mods and pics and whatever else.

this doesnt mean im selling it, im just trying to get a feel for what i might be able to sell it for.

[celiman05]

im not ready to sell the car right now. if the right price comes along i will def sell it, but i really dont know what its worth. so thats where i need the help.

[celicaST]

the other awd swap was sold for 10.5k, yours looks to be in better condition however. i think 13-14k is about right. but thats only for a celica enthusiast, good luck trying to get that much from anybody else.

[SiN_CeLi]

I would be willing to pay 11 to 13 k for your car.

[95celgt]

I'll give you 11K CASH.

[celicaST]

I'll give you 11K CASH.

i wish i had 11k cash laying around and i think your younger than me too, wtf

[zipstrips]

id need to see some more pictures but 10-14k depending

[95celgt]

I'll give you 11K CASH.

i wish i had 11k cash laying around and i think your younger than me too, wtf

Im 17 now:P

So watcha' say celiman?

[Shocker]

I'll give you 11K CASH.

So watcha' say celiman?

I say yous a husltla

[celiman05]

hhhmmm. i dont know. lemme think about this a lil more. i was originally just seeing what i would be able to get for it. i wasn't gonna sell it right now but maybe.........lemme ponder this a lil more.

i'll put some pics up this weekend when i actually have 2 seconds.

[shin]

i would be willing to pay 15k for your celi. it's just sweet..

[playr158]

i would be willing to pay 15k for your celi. it's just sweet..

you need a family car....go home

[celiman05]

i would be willing to pay 15k for your celi. it's just sweet..

is that an offer?????

[jdg371]

i would be willing to pay 15k for your celi. it's just sweet..

you need a family car....go home

pwnd. LOL

[Supersprynt]

Trade you a rodeo.

[celiman05]

haha no thanks.

[celiman05]

sorry the pics are taking so long. i tried to get it up on a lift this past weekend but i had no luck. im gonna have to do the old crawl thing. they will be up tommorrow for sure.

[spolski07]

i wish i could make an offer!!
nice car and your lucky!
why are you thinking of selling it?

[celiman05]

i dont know. just wanna move onto something else.

[Fate]

i might be in on this....but my offer is around 12 grand pending if i can come up with it after talking to my dad.

[celiman05]

ok these are the pics ive been meaning to put up!
































there you go. ok i figured out a price. $13,500.

the right front axle needs to be replaced but i am in the process of doing that now. if you have any other questions PM me.

[4g-gt-four]

Dont accept any less than 15k for this car! My friend kevin bought his for 10.5k, but his needs paint. He got a steal on it anyway. Plus, since you have the only st205 awd swap, (or at least that I know of) besides kevins, you have the market by the balls! THe question is do you really want to give up the car?... Because you will probably never own one again. The only thing I would ever sell that car for, would be a real st205 fully legalized in the US already

[celicaST]

if i owned that car, there would be NO way i would ever sell it, period. like 4g said above, id rethink it. if you do sell it, going to be one lucky buyer.

[x_itchy_b_x]

why?!?!!?1

[hurley97]

I agree. most people that sell their Celicas just because they feel the need to move on eventually miss it and want one again. for you it wouldn't be as simple as just buying another one, that thing is one of a kind

but if you have made your decision then good luck with the sale, I wish I had the money for it... unless you want a green 97 ST

[playr158]

modified jetta + GSXR 750 for your celica

[block]

my kidney?

[4g-gt-four]

my kidney?

loooool

[j0e_p3t]

i see your kidney and raise you a testicle. man i want a gt-four. good luck with the sale. whoever buys it will be one lucky sob.

[Remy]

Goddamit why you live so far... I'm seriously interested but would like to get a test drive first....hmm...I'll think about it for now...(If I want to travel that far to test drive a car)

[chacha]

Goddamit why you live so far... I'm seriously interested but would like to get a test drive first....hmm...I'll think about it for now...(If I want to travel that far to test drive a car)

LOl... i would rethink that...especially when your old and don't have anyone left to look after you.

[celiman05]

lol. wow looks like some people are ready to give up some body parts for this thing.

ya ive thought about long and hard, but, i dont know. i think im ready to sell it. the biggest pain for me is finding the parts for it. i just dont have the time for that now with school and everything else. my life is just too nuts to be sitting in front of a computer all day looking for parts. plus, funds run pretty low when you have a $32k loan for school. man it sucks.

[x_itchy_b_x]

i have time tell me what u need and ill find it

[Punch]

I never knew there was another on done in the u.s.
dont sell for less than $14,000

[Jeremy1210]

What parts does it need? Shouldn't need anything since its complete and running great, right?

[celiman05]

well it doesnt really need any parts right now other than the axle which im replacing before it sells. im talking about performance stuff and what not. not only that but the drivetrain is a 95, so anything could go wrong. if something were to break or go wrong, i dont really have the time to go searching around for it, nor the money.

theres nothing wrong with it though, it runs and drives fine.

[devilsden97]

MAN, only if i had money, looks and a car like this......then ......id have nothing to wish for lol


bump for a good guy, and an awsome car. When the phrase "one of a kind" was coined, they knew this car would be coming around some day.

[shin]

if only i could buy your celi

[toyo94]

Man that car's to die for...One of a kind...man if only I had the money i would get this...welp good luck with the sell...

[RbrtNdrws]

I'm interested, let me get back with you this weekend.

[celiman05]

I'm interested, let me get back with you this weekend.

ok just hit me up whenever you get a chance.

[raz128]

Wow, very impressive. surely the only (if not one of an elite few) left-hand drive GT4?

[playr158]

Wow, very impressive. surely the only (if not one of an elite few) left-hand drive GT4?

its not a GT4....its a converted USDM car

[raz128]

Yer, i figured from the post. Would be rude to not call it a GT4 though
A guy in Cyprus did the same conversion, though i'm not sure if his was a left or right hand drive.
good luck with the sale, Celiman! Shouldnt have trouble finding a buyer at all

[x_itchy_b_x]

i live close to you sorta. les the a 30 mins i bet. take me for a ride in that beast.

[Chanh55]

Nice car man... goodluck with sale.

That has featured ride material written all over it.

there are a few lhd gt-fours in europe. only till 97, i think. and i think there is only 1 other gt-four conversion and 1 jdm rhd gt-four in the states. definitely a rare car. i wish i could be the new owner.

[y2komar]

UMnnnn I dont know ..... I think your ride is faster considering its only fwd. I would think the extra weight and differential will make it slower, but safer to drive. Yeah its very nice and there are not many out there but I have my money on your fwd version.

[doGGy]

there are a few lhd gt-fours in europe.

If FEW is about 2000-3000 then yea...

GT4 in EU was availible till 96 / 3 month i think from 94.

After 96 - GT4 was availible only in Japan. Or as the Import in UK, but yes - all of them from 96 where RHD.

Exept one with is in poland 99 LHD

[j0e_p3t]

sweet. so my chances of someday owning a lhd st-205 gt-four wrc just got a lil bit higher. now just gotta find a decent one, import it, and make it street legal. no problemo. maybe i'll just buy this "gt-four" from whoever you sell to in a few years.

[lagos]

[celiman05]

[celiracer]

Man i can't beleive you wana sell this beutiful car. I wish i had the money to buy it. o-well maybe i'll get lucky sometime in the future and get one.

[celiman05]

ya i know. its gonna be tough seeing it go but some things just have to be done. if i could afford it, i would just keep it, but thats really not an option for me.

[CJOHNST3]

ya i know. its gonna be tough seeing it go but some things just have to be done. if i could afford it, i would just keep it, but thats really not an option for me.

hit me up @ caj_19343_extra@comcast.net with price - I bought my last Celi in Conn, why not get another

[celiman05]

come on i need some more interest.

[GMan]

I'd make a reasonable offer. Really interested.
Just a matter of coming up with the Cash right away.
I have a few loans out and people are slow to pay back.
When will U Need the $$$.

There was a black conversion for sale out of Hollywood FL for over a year.
Then the 2nd time it went on Ebay, it sold off auction in week or two.
Then after less than a year, it was sold again locally up in CO pretty quick.
You can never tell when someone will have the cash available.

I wished I had gotten a ride when you came down to the Colt State Park meet.
Have you put the clutch in yet ? Is it driveable ? I do not live to far away to tow if I had to.
Christmas is a bad time to sell a car too.

Good luck on the sale.

Regards;

[celiman05]

well i would need the money as soon as possible. i just bought a new car and need to start paying it off. the first one to have the money will get the car. but if it means a sale then i might be able to do something.

i saw that other conversion i didnt realize that it sold twice already though.

the clutch kit that i bought for it was gonna go in this winter but then i decided that i was going to sell it so its not really worth me putting it in. the clutch is going with the car though. it was like a $650 kit so its its a pretty decent one made for the GT-4. the clutch thats in it is'nt really that bad. it doesnt slip all the time only on ocasions when you really get on it. as of now the car is totally drivable. i recently just replaced the right side front axle. i took it for a drive and noticed a small clunking coming from somewhere in the front end. i went through it with a fine toothed comb all the mounts and everything seems fine. (nice and tight).

any spare parts that i have for it are gonna go with it too. it wont hurt to have all that extra stuff just in case something were to happen. and i realize that christmas is kinda a bad time but oh well. my bad.

if you have any other questions just hit me up.

[celiman05]

anyone with questions can call my cell. its just easier talking on the phone sometimes.
mike: 1860-208-4302.

I never have luck selling stuff myself.
I like to think a Great project will sell itself.
Keep your spirits up
It can't hurt to cross post either. AllTrac.net and or Celicatech....

Just a suggestion.

Regards;

[celiman05]

ya i realized it would prob just be easier to call me. i dunno what i say half the time?

i meant that when people PM me, and then i PM them back, they dont seem to get back to me. sorry, my bad. but calls are easier.

thanks for the suggestion, i'll prob try doing that.

BUY IT !!!

Very good job, and it seems to be very well made !!

Moreover you could put "GT-four" signs and badge on the car with a reason !!!

[celiman05]

hey brian, i sent you a PM. someone else may be interested so let me know if you still want it. you have first dibs.

[snapshotgt]

Why are you not trying to sell it on ebay? There're people out there with the know-how to buy and upkeep the car.. not everybody is here on 6gc.

[celiman05]

Why are you not trying to sell it on ebay? There're people out there with the know-how to buy and upkeep the car.. not everybody is here on 6gc.

ya i know, i should put it on ebay. i just dont wanna spend a bunch of money in fee's to just have no one buy it and not make my money back.

i put a 3sgte on ebay twice and no one bought it. i ended spending something like $90 and never made the money back.

i probably will put it on there though. i'll just have to bite the bullet.

[FORGMANN]

nobody on celicatech or all-trac.net wants it..

i have been offered a lot to sell my real st205 on all trac.net thru PM'S

just hope my GF never sees those or it will be sold asap ..lol


might even try mr2oc.com or toyotanation.com

[celiman05]

im yet to post on those sites yet.. im so busy, i never really get a chance to go on the computer. def this weekend.

[ROBWOZ1018]

Do you still have this car for sale?

[GMan]

Bump for a special project ?
Anyone pick this up yet ?

[celiman05]

wow, i didnt realize people were still posting on this post. sorry.

ya the car is still for sale. ive had alot of interest but no one ever gets back to me.

[cyb593]

i think the problem is no one has 13.5k laying around. dont get me wrong but 13.5k is tottaly worth your car. i would take it off your hands if i was loaded. i wouldnt be offended or anything if i was you someone will buy it eventually. people are probably saving up. i do have a question though. what are thos lines running through the hatch? sorry dont know much about awd

The lines running from the carpet to the left side quarter plastic?
Would be the fuel lines since to make room for the AWD he had to install a fuel cell since the stock GT gas tank is in the way of the drive shaft.
At least I think.

[celiman05]

yup ur totally right. fuel lines. just a slight modification.

the 13.5k thing probably is the problem. i know its a lot of money but, oh well.

i just took it for a spin on saturday (illegalally mind you), and man i miss driving that thing.

[celiman05]

anybody else?

[yarik83]

I feel that it is important to identify one particular thing and perhaps suggest a thing or two.

A while ago I took out a loan from Caputal One to buy zoom zoom's celi he would not accept check.. then lagos changed his mind and now my check expired.

99 percent of people do not have 13K lying around available in cash and if they do it is set back for a mortgage or whatever else.

So the question is. Are you willing to get cash only or other payment methods as well.. such as checks from financial institutions?

Im moving to florida in a couple of weeks so will be working on my car there with xat racing but as a person who was in market for a modified celica I would suggest diversifying your options and possibly accepting more than one method of payment.

Good luck with the sale.

[celiman05]

ya i guess i should have specified a little more on that subject. i will take other methods of payment. i dont expect anyone to really have that much cash lying around. i'll take bank checks also. possibly money orders too. no personal checks though.

oh ya:
reducing the price to $12,750 o.b.o.

just PM me or call me if anyone is interested. mike: (860)208-4302

[celiman05]

sale pending!

[celicaST]

good to hear. thats a hell of a car. i would of seriously considered it if you were in colorado.

[InfamousChappy]

Man..I would take that car out to a nice steak dinner. Maybe even a movie. Just me and the car you know.

[celiracer]

I really wish i had the money for that car. But nope i'm just a poor poor person.

[celiman05]

ha dont worry, as of right now im a pretty poor person myself.

the dinner i had with the car was really nice.

hopefully all goes through with the potential buyer. i've had way too many people say they are gonna buy it and then never even email me back. it sux getting my hopes up like that.

[devilsden97]

bump for an ILL car, and a pretty nice guy too.

[SlowCelica94]

So who did the work on this thing? My biggest concern would be if the awd swap was done right

[brianforster]

its kind of like why the supra is discontinued, the people who wanted it couldnt afford it, and the people who can afford it dont want it.

at any rate, this is a delicious car.

good luck

[stephen_lee]

has this thing sold yet?

[celiman05]

SOLD!!! but also

[j0e_p3t]

damn, that sucks. but also good news. so who's the lucky guy? hope its someone from this site. if not, tell them to join.
