[Coomer]

Romas is selling?!? I knew about the others but not Romas.

Look on the positive side though...there are so many people doing cool things and keeping their cars. I, for one, have a goal to have my car in the Global Import car show next year and I want to have the cleanest engine bay on 6GC.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, some of those people may not end up selling their cars because it's so hard to sell a modded car and they probably won't get what they want and deserve for their cars. Kinda like me a while ago...

[vangSTa_celica]

Really Coomer? Romas has already gone thru with it and has sold his car. Its pretty depressing, but from what I've heard, he's still coming back to the 6gc world.

[nik]

hopefully Ramos comes back with another 6gc a (st-205) one.

[lagos]

its just one generation moving on. time for the newer guys to step up and start some major projects on their cars.

im still keeping my car!

[Jdog1385]

that means we have to step up and get some more origonals on the site. its just a cycle that goes on...we just have to keep it going. i couldnt believe it when mike dodson sold his celi (now erics1one's celi) but we moved on.

haha, got it in before i did

[macavely]

i feel those guys.... the last few months i have been really thinking about selling or trading in my car getting something like an rsx or tC ...

[Phat_99CeliGT]

Im selling mine cause i finally got it paid off and im wanting something newer.
I have always wanted to do a minitruck or a luxury car.

For me, its finish one project and move to another. Ill do the same with whatever car/truck i get next.

The Celica, in my eyes, is finished. I can't leave it the same for a couple years and then start something new for it.

i had my fun with her and i hate to let her go, but its time to move on.
ill always have a place for the celica in my heart. it was my first "show" car. i have owned it for about 4 years, which is the longest i have EVER kept a car.

ill be back sometime in the future. Maybe get a lil side project going. this time with all go and no show

[boosted_K2]

i was in and out pretty quick i was modding mine at the same time that john and coom were just getting started with their stuff (john had the supra wing, lowered, and header... and coom's car was still teal green with a dual exhaust), when jared's car was still its factory red with vynal and a big wing... the only 3sgte swapped celica that was an active poster was mike coury and i was giving manny engine advice that was way over his head, now sometimes i swear its the other way around haha... times have changed for the little late 90s celicas, thats for sure.

[frosty]

I figure I will keep my celica and if I want another project car just keep the celi as the daily driver.

[azian_advanced]

[right][snapback]336546[/snapback][/right]

same. actually the reason why i have the celica is because it's my daily driver. but if i ever move on, there's no way i can sell the celica, it's just too precious to me, plus it's modded.

[dustin15brown]

I plan on keeping my celica until I die, sounds dumb, but it's paid off, all that, it was myt first car to own and first 5 spd i drove, first car i modded.. sooo much more. I'm keeping mine, even if i get to a point where i dont drive it

[Magic]

Those things always will happen,people are selling cars,buying cars i mean if somebody close a door by selling his car then he is opening a new door by buying a new car.
I see many owners coming to 6gc.net and this is very nice for 6gc community.
I keep spending on my car and many members of 6gc.net doing this.If somebody buy my car maybe he will just need to change my name on my profile but my car will be here

well said. I like to think that this is a community that often trascends the cars we drive. anyone who sells their celi is still welcome here as is the new owner of the car.

as for my car. its staying with me for the duration. logically I can't see any point in selling a car who's emotional worth far outweighs any monetary. its also too damn sexy to give up ..

[95CelicaST]

I don't want to sell my Celica ever. It is just something you don't see very often anymore. When these cars are properly equipped (3S, 5SFTE) they are just as fast, if not faster than a lot of the new cars out on the market. Celicas have such a defined heritage in the automotive world, and to be blessed with being able to own the most beautiful body style and to be able to converse with people who share the same passion is something you don't find often these days. We should all go out and give our Celi's a bath, because they are uncommon, and SEXY.

my $.02

[Digndoug]

Its sucks but its how it goes. The celi is a cheaper nice car, where as people get older more money, they want a newer nicer toy, and its just not worth keeping two cars.

Im ready to sell my car, sheat I have been for the past year, but Dont want to get into payments so i have been sticking with it, Prolly to the point il have money for a new car and wont want a new one. haha well.. Il still want a new one, but prolly keep the celi as a daily.

[FallenHero]

I agree about the sexiness... and since I finished up my body mods... this thing looks plain mean. After the engine work is done, it's going to be magnificent.

After I get out of college I figure I'll keep the car I have now, get a hatch, paint it and kit it exactly like what I have now, and swap in a V8 or something.

I will need a new project by then after all.

[Batman722]

as soon as I sell the Jetta (hopefully to Dan in a week or so) I will be the proud owner of a second 6th gen

[right][snapback]336564[/snapback][/right]

i was thinking of selling my car a month or so ago to get a sportbike for college, but the more i think of it, i dont think i can let it go. my first car as well and its all paid off too, and it still only has 43k on it. hearing the mileage some of you guys have seen, i expect it to last me till i die! of course ill get another car down the road, but i would like to keep this one as well. and you can be sure im going to drop a lot more money into it in the next several years .

[Tweek]

I don't see myself getting rid of my celica. I'm just about to touch 200k with it, and it would'nt be worth anything if I sold it. I just can't see selling it for a couple g's. Its been good to me for years, and I still love the way it looks versus all the crap cars they keep coming out with. I'm not big on selling cars anyways. If anything, I'd give it to some young kid to enjoy like I did my last car.

[CelicaZR]

6GC 4 life
I've agreed with most of the comments on here.
Its just a plain sexy car, that I can't see myself selling
in the near future or at all.
It's my first car that I've owned and wanted ever since I was
young.
It's a shame to see many of the nicest modded Celicas being sold

I think you kinda said most of it.
Its just not worth selling, cause what a few g's.. might as well keep it.

[lazy]

It's nice to see so much love for the all powerful 6gc
I'm ashamed to say thats i was and still am, not so much lately, looking to sell my 6gc and get the 7th generation tsport addition with the 192bhp
i'm still confuzed because my cousin got one and he said it's great
any advice from you wise ppl will be helpful

[right][snapback]336767[/snapback][/right]

Yea, I agree with that to some extent, cause i know KBB says my car is worth about $4k which isn't much. But i've spent so much money fixing up the car and doing some mods to it, and the longer I keep it, the more money i'm going to pour into it. This isn't exactly an "investment" though because it's a sure bet you're losing money. That's why i'm trying to sell my celi now too, because no matter which way i go, sell or don't sell, i'm gonna be losing money. But at least if I sell it, I can get some of it back and combine it with the extra money I was going to spend on it and buy something I wouldn't want to mod, like a camry or truck. Haha, I really want a truck right now, and there's no way I'm modding an old Toyota Pickup.

[Akimbo]

You wouldn't be upset with the T-sport...although the interior isn't up to par with ours IMO, I love the seats however.

[lazy]

I know 6gc have the best interiors i`ve been in the celica it looks kinda fake

[lazy]

i mean the new celica

[madmods]

I owe 3500 more on mine. I came from v6z24.com with my cavalier before I got here. I thought I was never going to sell that. I did alot of custom body mods to itA(cav), maybe too much. I sold it. I actually was going to buy the 5th gen celica vert, never heard of the 6th till I see mine at a dealers. It was love at first site.

I'm in love with my car(celica), and still hear the question, what kind of car is that? I think when you modernise the celica with projectors, tailights, mellow body changes, lips the car still looks very modern. The interior does, at least mine does.(painted stuff, seats) If I ever get another vehicle its going to be at truck so I could haul stuff around(motorcycle, jet skis). I'm keeping my celica for life. I'm going to make it as modern looking as possible without it looking too cheesy.

As far as members leaving, other people got to step up. Look at plyr moving up to where neverstop and soundslut were with body changes. Theres alot of members on here doing swaps at the moment and others like me that want to, but only have one vehicle and can't afford down time.
All I got to say is I'll be on 6gc for ever! I'm keeping my celica.

I did alot of post on lambo doors on there. Phat what was your name on there?

[doGGy]

Well, my confesion.....

I know that i did wrong... But... So much time spent on my car, so much money vent in to it... and i could not stand no more it.. Last few month i aint had time to work on it at all, cuz i was overburned from making different parts for 6GC... Overburned, cuz i worked whole summer on Edo's and Marchius cars... Overburned cuz i wasnt able to drive it.. bloved more money into full repaint and this was the last drop....

3 month before one of my friends started to visit me more often and ask me stupid question about celica, at first i was like wtf, you aint gonna buy it.... But... Next day then i put my Turbo kit on and tuned it, i drove him in my car... he heard Psssssssshhhhht sound, and was like HOW MUCH???

I couldnt resist the offer he gave me... We traded my Celi to his Peugeot 406 Coupe 97' (it is worth about 6000 euros / 7200$) and he gave me 1800 Euros / 2180$ in cash for my car... Im thinking about selling his Peugeot for about 7400$ so in total i should get about 9300$, this is the offer i could not resist....

Anyway, im too paranoid about my celi, cuz after i installed turbo kit, im pretty paranoid about different stuff, like oil lines, fuel lines, about how they brake and etc... Im paranoid to leave it anythere, cuz im sceard it will get scratched.... So... i gave up on her... It will be sad to see it leave (next week), but i need to move on...

As for now, guys, PRAY, cuz i found a car, that is way worth to get.. Its a 98' Beams SSIII, White, JDM (converted to LHD), with everything (sideskirts, Spliters, SSIII white wheels)... And price for it is about 7000$, so im definantly getting it if i will sell peugeot fast enouth...

So i will stay in family, and i will definantly make another Custom DCW car for all of yea. Just wait, cuz i have WAY MORE planed for new celi

[nik]

oh get it doggy GET IT ha hope everything works out for you
