So I got to work today, was browsing Craig's List, and came across a '95 Celica with a salvage title for sale. I was out of work on my way home and then to Seattle within minutes. Three hours later, I was the owner of this:
Yeah, it's pretty beat up, and purple, and a slushbox, and the tranny makes lots of noise at idle, but I'm very happy with it. Drove it three hours home with no problems at all, despite being told it has a blown head gasket. The car has 114,000 miles and the engine and tranny both feel strong and smooth. Whaddaya guys think? I don't think it's too bad for $350.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. It's possible that the car has frame damage. That could be the reason for the salvage title and repaint. I gotta figure that out, and if so, then it's a parts car. Otherwise, it'll probably become my dad's or my bro's daily driver. Then at least we can still have one sixth gen. sitting in the driveway.

dang, that car is not that bad, purple sux, but the inside looks clean and with only a 114k on the motor it has to be worth more then 350 alone, sept if the tranny is busted, but still, $350 cant beat that, easy to make that even if you sell off some parts.
And you get the "steelies" you wanted for your hub cap spinners! --------------------  |

From looking at those pics, I doubt you've got frame damage. It looks like it'd be pretty easy to straighten the body, either that or you'll have to replace the door skin. If ya need any tips let me know dude.

i missed the memo that said that finding a nasty bent up ass 6th gen that will cost a couple thousand to make at all presentable was such a good thing? coomer...i think you have a problem with buying old run down crappy cars...you should focus more, and either get 1 really nice car, or put all that money into one of the other old crappy cars you have, and make one of them presentable...
