FS 95 Celica GT Liftback "Castrol", SOLD Options

[CastrolCelica]

Up for sale is my 95 Celica GT. I got a great price on a Mini, and I simply don't need this any longer. The car is literally free of rust as it was a Texas car. All the body work was done professionally and by me, and the car was professionally painted white once again. The car has 144,xxx miles on it, and runs like a champ. I'm replacing a fuel pump on it right now, but once that's replaced the car is good to go to it's new owner. The car also comes with brand new eBay headers which have yet to be installed. The car has been maintained like no other and has had regular oil changes and maintenance.

Here's a list of some things I've done:

Custom decals
Body work
Paint job
Celica mudflaps
VIS Carbon Fiber Hood
Tinted clear gas lid
Brand new (just installed this last week) security system with keyless entry
SS-III Wheels that have been professionally powdercoated
Brand new brake pads and drilled/slotted rotors
Touch Screen GPS, DVD, FM AM, CD and MP3/iPod player
Brand new tweeters with bass limiter
Brand new Alpine speakers throughout
Brand new front axle
Cold Air Intake
New Radiator
Face Lift 96 bumper
Fog Light Covers
New headlamp bulbs
New brights bulbs
3 month old spark plugs
Tinted windows
Brand new battery
Brand new battery wires
Brand new battery terminals



SOLD

This thread makes me a sad Toyota owner.

Either way, GLWS Castrol!

[CastrolCelica]

Thanks bud. I'll still have a Toyota through the Prius, so all is not lost

Offers are your friends, guys. I just got a Mini and I need moola, so make an offer.

If it's any consolation, I won't be leaving the group. I might not need the car anymore, but I certainly still love it, and still love Toyota and 6th gen Celicas. Hopefully, I'll be able to help others in the Ohio area with their cars.. or maybe.. my old one . Thanks for the compliments.

Oh, btw, I think it's pretty obvious, but I'll say it anyway, I'm not parting out this car. So the mudflaps stay on

Out of curiosity, since I banned you on Celicatech for stealing over $1000 dollars from members, did you ever complete those transactions?

Here is the thread if you are interested.

http://www.celicatech.com/forums/showthrea...4560&page=3

Members beware, this member has been banned from many sites for stealing money. His record here seems to be slightly better, but take into account there are members here claiming he took $500 for parts that he never shipped.

Frankly, I think he should be banned here as well as all the other sites.

[CastrolCelica]

HEY GUYS. This is not the place for stuff like this. If you have a problem with each other, please take it somewhere else. Mods please delete the appropriate posts.

[Aznbcrzy]

is this beast a auto?

[CastrolCelica]

I'm assuming you're asking about the transmission, right? It's actually a standard (manual).

Thanks for the inquiry.

[96stgreendemon]

this makes me very very sad, just curious to why you are selling it? and i know castrol he is a good guy you dont need to be bad mouthing the guy because of what one person said

[CastrolCelica]

He wasn't talking about me, Kyle , but bad mouthing that guy on this thread was still innapropriate

I'm selling the car because I bought a new Mini Cooper S. I don't really have the space for three cars, so the celica gets the boot.



As an offer to others, if someone buys this money in hand by Friday I'd sell the car for 5k. Regarding the PM that was sent, the tread life on the tires is at least 50-60%. Thanks everyone.

[CastrolCelica]

I've had requests of the interior. These are the only ones I have on hand, but I'll take more when I get home:


I can take more pictures when I get home, but I do have a couple pics I took from my phone a bit ago. I'll post them below.

[slow_yota]

$1000 really..haha ok, You should be banned for doing crack.
Go ahead and contact whoever you want, I admit that I owed money to
cinergi and we've made payment arrangements that I have kept.

Whatever happened on CT was no where $1000 and i did clear up what
I could, I was in the process of clearing the last few that were on that
site [Maybe $100 tops of items] but someone banned me and I had no
ways of contact with those members.So..You screwed your own members.

But I'm a nice guy so you go ahead and If anyone on CT
didnt receive an item they paid for, Send me their email and i'll contact them and deal with it.
I think one guy had a set of tails coming but that was it if i remember correctly.

And I'll even post this up.
I owed this member on CT money..Read the thread for yourself.

I clean up my Shee-it.
So ban that.


Sorry for the vent..ppl that are out of the loop shouldt be aloud to post anything.

Bump for a very unique car, If it was 3sgte I'd be interested.
Be hard for me to steal from you though..lol. Anyways..GLWS

Hey, vent away bud. If someone called me out like that and it was wrong, I'd be pissed. Let's just keep it clean from here on out though .

Btw, I'm lowering it to my final price. $4900. It's terribly low for the car, but I really don't have room for it and I need it gone. For that price you could get your own 3sgte and spend a crap load less than buying a stock GT and doing all the mods I've done minus the engine.

Thanks for the bump.

[slow_yota]

I agree and the rarity of the car is i'm sure is in the worth it to a collector itself.
Was the decal scheme done by you or was that factory.
I do like it, No doubt...But throwin 5G down right now would put me in a bind.
If you still had it come summer it'd be way more likely for me as a purchase.
and maybe a tad cheaper =]

My friend who's into cars and I both put the decals on. It was a 3 day project haha.. and a pain in the arse.

I've had a bunch of friends on another forum suggest eBay. They said it might do really well in an auction and get more than what I want for it. Depending on fees, I just might...

I'd be not so happy if I still had this by summer hahaha .

Nice pickup. I like the retro-ness of the exterior, and I've heard that they handle like they're on rails. I hate the interior though, it looks like ToysRUs had sex in there.

[FORGMANN]

Good luck with sale ..

After talking on phone last week i almost called and offered my gt-four .. oh well.!!

Personally i like Fiat 500 Abarth's over Mini's but their not sold here yet and

besides you got a good deal..

[Serhey]

yeah no offense but you obviously spend most the time inside your car, and that interior looks so uncomfortable. im really happy with my celica interior. audi are by far my favorite cars on the inside. i could live in one of those

[Goonter]

very compact car with a wide stance.. it better handle like they're on rails -_-

[spolski07]

interior on our cars isnt bad actually ive grown to love mine, and thats exactally how mine looked when i picked mine up, except mine is chili red with matching top pm me for a couple of good mini forums if ya like


this car does handle on rails, i keep up with the s2000's and turbo miata's through the twisties and for being a FWD platform, understeer isnt as bad as you think, it surprises me when i drive the gf's car (AWD audi TT) and hers gets more understeer than mine through a few corners

[SwissFerdi]

I completely agree, Audi makes my favorite interiors by far. They're organized, yet there's nothing unnecessary...and the gauges are usually beautiful. The seats are hella comfortable as well. Although I wouldn't personally buy one, I do like my dad's A4. Black on tan interior, 6 speed 2.0T. The exact trim I'd take.

Those Audis are known to understeer though.

[spolski07]

but being an AWD car compared to my fwd car? yes the audi is known for understeer, but my FWD car tends to snap oversteer more often than understeer. but it takes a lot for it to do that.

[Ruroniarc]

How are those decals applied? Are they removable (easily)? Or would it be a nightmare to get rid of them?

Not that I want to of course, I was just wondering.

It was a mix of wet and dry. The decals are on there good...not like they'll come off by themselves, but if you want them off, yes you can take them off. I made sure the paint was fully cured before I applied them.

Bump for an awesome car! Very sad to see it go Castrol, but grats on your new pickup! Glws

Thanks man! One more day on the auction. We got another Mini tonight after trading in the Prius for my wife haha. Now we have two .

[spolski07]

[Keiri]

On the right forum this would be taken in totally the wrong way.

@Castrol: Congrats on the new purchase and sorry to see you leave the Toyota family.

[CastrolCelica]

Best I could do in the garage....:

[96stgreendemon]

[DGAF]

2 diff mini's? The color isnt the same.

[Keiri]

Yes, 2 different colors because he now has 2 different Coopers; one's his and the other is his wife's.

[CastrolCelica]

Yep, two different Minis.

Anywho, thought I'd update and let everyone know there's a little over 9 hours left in the auction.

Here's a better shot from this morning:

They are . Actually, it's the other way around. It's the automatic transition R50s that are the issues most of the time .

[CastrolCelica]

Two hours left!

[CastrolCelica]

Thanks guys. All gone.

[96stgreendemon]

so how much did you get? only said 2500 on ebay?

[GriffGirl]

so how much did you get? only said 2500 on ebay?

Yeah but it also says Reserve not met; he could have ended the auction early.

[CastrolCelica]

Was sold outside of eBay. Ending price was $4700.

[CelicaST_CALI]

good price!

[Goonter]

thought i saw 2500 as the ending price >.>
