FS: 1994 Celica GT Hatchback, Engine bad. Must Sell. Will consider trade! Options

[Nekobirm]

Up for sale: 1994 Toyota Celica GT hatchback. Heat/AC work great. Approx 168K on engine. No radio/speakers. Custom stereo/front speakers removed. No factory radio to replace. Clear title. Vehicle has no liens. My 17 year old son ran the car without checking oil x several months. Discovered oil level below the "low" mark. (Castrol synthetic) He filled with oil, then engine began to make a loud knocking sound. Mechanic looked at it, says engine not seized as of yet, probable rod(s) bent, and a host of other bad things that may be wrong, but the engine must be torn down in order to assess the damage. I cannot afford to do this. Therefore, this once super cool car will be sold because my son was irresponsible. He did not take care of it, so it's up for sale. Before the engine had problems, the automatic transmission was beginning to "slip" a bit. I cannot tell what's wrong with it at this point. Replaced the starter Jan '06. Tires are < 1 year old. There are minor "dings" in the body, but nothing serious. Please make offer. Will also consider trade for dependable running vehicle. See profile for basic pics. More pics can be e-mailed: nhgregory@earthlink.net Please feel free to e-mail if any other questions or concerns.

once we get a look at the car, it will be much easier to tell.
with 178K on the chassis, it is a higher milage car, so that lowers the value some, and having the blown engine puts a serious damper on things, but to someone who is looking for a fixer-upper, or a project car, like me, its still has some value.
