Thinkin about leavin the celica community..., undecided... Options

[Mynzeyes]

i'm thinkin about selling the celica...as is...or even if i get it running. with the prices on nice luxury sports sedans coming down, such as the IS300, it just seems like too good of an idea. i've wanted a nice sports sedan since i saw a 98-99 SE-Limited Sentra (SR20DE). and the Altezza was my favorite car years before it came over here as the IS. so, that's my situation. i'm ready to just enjoy a car. sure i'd modify my next car, i'll never get out of that...but it's just been so long since the celica has run, and i'm ready for somethin else.

so who thinks i could actually sell the celica? and who has any idea what someone would be willing to pay, if it's as is, and how much if it was running?

btw, the status on the car now, is it fires, and runs...but it won't idle on its own, the throttle doesn't respond quite right, and it fouls out plugs...i'm waiting on a buddy to get me 2 connectors that arn't there, that aren't VITAL...and that's really it...

what's everyone's thought?

thanks,

Have you driven an IS? They'll cool cruisers, but they suck for power. 215hp in a car that size? Gimme a break. Every BMW on the block will hand your ass to you. In that price range you should really consider an E36 M3. They can be had in good shape for between $15 and $20k. 240hp stock and killer killer suspension (also great aftermarket). Also, they look spoogetastic.

I agree though, you should finish the swap and drive it for a while before you decide. If I had the cash and needed a third car, I'd buy it from you, but I already have too many projects.
