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!!!!!

ok for the most part you would be suprised how fast car go in a dealership....so even if its ok and has under 100k they will sell it....they have to pass smog and like a 20 or so point test...if it passes then on to the alot...dealership will only send cars to the auction....if the cost of the repair is too high.....high mileage.....way old car...or just plain crap.....i use to detail them...(hahha i use to steal the stereos and anything good) cuz thet never check the auction cars........but yeah you can get a good priced car tho...but this is the place to go if you want a really good shell for a motor swap... |
