Item # 4616708459

I was the second high bidder on this - and the seller sent me an offer to purchase if highest bidder did not fall through. --

I have an auto 96 with over 200k miles and planned on doing a 3sgte swap within the next 2 months. Since i Have an auto - i would need to do a manual conversion and buy all the extra parts .

I figured I would use this salvage as the project since its already a manual and would not have to do too much as if i were to use the auto.

I've been looking for a 2ndary transportation car and will be picking up one from another member on here in April to use when the swap project starts. But I could not resist the ebay one - if that high bidder does not fall through which i think they will not (suspicion that the seller is using another account to bid on it to raise the bid) than i will end up having 3 celica's -- if it all works out - i will be keeping the salvage one and end up selling the other two or selling just one and have 2 celica

glad to hear comments and criticisms

It looks fixable. Theres a scam going out on ebay for 2nd chance buyers. I almost got
caught up in it buying a guitar. A fake person poses as the buyer. You get an email
claiming the first person didn't pay up. Be careful, don't ever western union, and look
at the item if your close by.
