1995 Celica GT-S Options

[gtacelicagts]

Hi,

I am a new member of 6gc and I am currently shopping for a celica. I have come across this gt-s and it's in amazing condition w/170 000km on it. It has alpine deck and speakers w/sub, new summer tires with 16" toyota alloys, and he recently got new clutch and shocks. All leather w/sunroof.

Details:
# New Tires/Wheels 2 years ago (Dunlop SP Sport 9000 High Performance Summer Tires)
# 4 Toyota OEM Steel Wheels with Michelin Pilot Alpin Winter Tires (Half tread remaining)
# Alpine 9833 Deck and New Rear Alpine Speakers with MTX SubWoofer and Rockford Sub (NOTE: Lots of sound options for front set…there are 3 speakers per door)

Asking $7200.

With all the experience on this site, can someone let me know if I should go for this deal? I have not physically seen this car yet (guy lives VERY far from me). But when I do see it, I wanna have a decision and price in mind.

BASICALLY, what is the max amount you would be willing to pay for this car?

Any input is appreciated,

Thanks in advance!

Here are some pics:

What year is the car? For $7200 you can get a decent 7th gen.

That car better be mint - that's all I'm saying. All options, everything working, cold as hell A/C. Even then - sounds like he/she's expecting to be talked down. That's gotta be KBB Personal sale [or w/e they call it] for perfect condition.
Have you run a KBB on it? It's not great but at least you can see something close easily.

Ya I am going to see how far I can talk him down, but as far as I can tell (from pictures) it does look MINT. But I wanna know what you think a reasonable price is for a 1995 Celica GT-S that is in very good condition.

There's a guy at Bathurst and Sheppard with a 94 hatchback, manual tranny, grey exterior, custom exhaust, 16 inch wheels(dunno the brand), past 200K, selling for 4500$(IIRC). I'll pm you his number when i pass by there this afternoon. Where exactly at toronto are you from?

Cool thanks! I live in the east end.

[njccmd2002]

that is too much...

Mint, peppermint or spearmint.

i would say at least 5K

I paid 4500 for my vert, (GT, Limited edition) I was very decently close to mint.

I would say, these things are getting rare. not many in auto trader

I just did it and it returned $4130 for "excellent"
so it is overpriced.
I'll post some pics to show you what i'm looking at.

That's for sure someone on here's car right? 7th gen GTS wheels, 3 speaker door panels etc.
Somebody here selling this?

HAHA that would be really funny, but not surprising.

regardless, i still want it....but for cheaper

[tomazws]

The speakers are freaking nice. But 7 grand is overpriced for a 95'.

Tell him $5K and see what he says - never hurts to lowball [watch it be someone on here].

[99GT]

I got my 99GT bone stock with 50,000 miles for 8K.

Wow for 8K?

Is it 2 years ago?

[azian_advanced]

i think the price seems to be slightly higher than the cdn average especially for its cleanliness, condition, and options.
considering its mileage, i'd pay no more than $6200 for it.

[95celgt]

well first off your in canada, so 6gc's i think are more expensive there in general, but i'd pay 5,500 max for it.....
And the 7K for the 99

[delusionz]

never heard of GTS in 6gen models only 5gen

is it a higher model than the US. GT model?

[Celicav]

Looks very nice!!

[azian_advanced]

it's been posted before that the GT-S basically has a stiffer suspension setup than stock, but not by much.
in Canada, all the GT-S models i've seen are equipped with (almost) all the options.

does that mean super strut instead of macpherson?

[99Celica]

It's a little overpriced, I think the low 6k's is probably a good price.

[azian_advanced]

macpherson.. but the shocks have a dual-valve setup inside (whatever that means)

[97Celica]

105k miles for that much?...I got my 00 GT-S 6-Speed for $8,500 with like 48k on it...I got my 94 rebuilder coupe for $80 with 150k on it....and it just needed a windshield and airbags. I bought my 97 WAY back in the day for $14,488 but it was like 2 years old back then and it had like 50k on it in mint condition. I got my 92 for $600 in decent condition with 160k on it.....what I am getting at is....

Unless it has SUPER low miles....don't pay a lot for it!!

[GriffGirl]

I'd go $6500 on it because it looks like it's in great condition, reasonably low miles for the year, hard to find and well maintained. I really believe the pricing on these varies greatly from region to region. Around here you'd be hard pressed to find one at all, much less in that kind of condition with that trim package. They go for quite a bit in this area.

Start from blue book and see where he goes from there. Anyone selling a car should fully expect to negotiate, even when they say the price is firm.

[Dragondog]

a couple of ppl r saying i got a 7gen for that price.....yea it must be nice to find a 7gen gt-s 6speed for that price but how many of those r u gonna find? idk bout out there but here 7gens r as common as a honda civic..around every corner there is one....but thats up to you if u wanna go newer....but i do agree with every1 else negotiate...if u cant, keep looking the world wont run out of cars 2morrow theres plenty....no offence to 7gen owners i just dont like common.....alltho 7gens r nice and they seem to have more upgrade options then a 6gen

How much are you selling it for?
