Hi everyone! I might buy this celica, but would like some opinions Options

[emachine]

It's a 1996 toyota celica gt convertible, with all the power options, new rims, new top, and its got 133k miles and its BLACK ON BLACK LEATHER

The only bad thing is, the headlight looks like its got water in it?, and the seller tells me that someone backed up into the front part of the bumber and left a medium sized dent.

would $2500 be a good price for this? or should it be lower






Thanks a lot!
(hope to own a 6gc soon!)

plz, check for rust. i see that the front left fender in the picture has a piece of paint chipped off and it is brown underneath..

it also looks as if that same fender is a replacement and was poorly paint-matched. check for any sort of body damage and such..make sure the structure is sound (check for any bends in the body from impact and check the engine bay to see if it's straight/has no sign of past accident)

make sure the roof doesnt leak.

are your plans to drive the celica daily or to be a project? if there are slight damages that you believe are irrevelant to your plans, then get it. if you plan on doing engine work/swap and new bumper/hood (GT4 conversion) then buy it. but if its your daily driver, make sure everything is straight and ask if there are any receipts to see if he/she has any records of service on the celi

my 2 cents
