I have a family mechanic and this guy does a lot of auction buying and selling + he has a shop. I asked him today how much would it cost to buy a 94 celica, put on a kit, and do a really good Yellow paint job on it. They guy said I knoww just what you want to make it look hot sporty siny yellow. He said he can get the car for $2,500 on an auction and do the kit and paint job for about $2,000. **** with lowered suspension this should cost me $5,000. Thats the price of a used celica with old paint on it and no kit!!!!!

well its might not be the greatest deal...i mean alot of body shop will give you a paint job and a kit for 2000 bucks .....2,500 for 94 celica sounds good but then again if its for a auction it could be risky...i mean i worked with mitsubishi and all car with 100k would go to the auction cuz they couldnt get loans for them....i use to check them out...nothing but crap car would go....they looked really nice but the motor was always crap...i would see pimped out gst or gsx going through and open the hood..wow looked soo good...then i would test compression and do a full tune and nothing but 100's of dollars of repairs needed.....when you go to the auction you dont even get to drive the car b4 soo it kind of a risky....this was 99 cars too let alone a 94 would have greater chances for failure..
soo just becarefull he is in it for the money remember....even tho it sounds like a friend....j |
