I just dont understand why people are asking for ridiculous amounts of money for cars with minor mods. I mean i understand if you got a show car and your asking for 15,000 of the 25,000 you put into it back. but if you have a basically stock celica with intake, and some crappy paint on the interior. maybe exhaust and a wing. that should lessen the value of the car shouldnt it? so why ask for all the money back from it. its just me whining because i have a totalled car, and its gonna cost me alot to get my baby back together, or just buy a done one.
anyone agree or disagree? open topic, speak amongst ya selves |

ok let me explain why celica was a no-go in this country.
Most car manufacturers ie Mitshubishi and especially Honda packed their cars with enough juice to leave you in the dust and for less money. Or they made it possible to buy the cars cheap and mod them to whatever.... if we had gt4 celicas in US they would be selling off like subaru wrx because they are powerful and reliable. Just so you know in my opinion I would rather pay 20000 for a gt4 than 21000 for 7th gen celi. That is exactly why they died of in US. Overpriced and underpowered but looking sexy. -------------------- Captain Pessimist
