value of a celica? Options

[block]

i was talking to a friend of mines and he said he found a 1999 celica for 7k. it's got a little over 140k miles but pretty mint with no rust. is it worth that 7k just for a celica? i mean you have to factor in its reliability and all other toyota crap like usual let me know what you guys think because i have no clue. i still see some 6th generations still popping at 4-6k with 120k+ miles. they're getting rarer and rarer. you also have to consider that because it's harder to find one. ill have to talk to him

I know it's a Toyota motor and it'll last forever and all but there's still 140k miles of wear on everything else. And it still is almost 10 years old.

I got my '97 almost 5 years ago, it was about 2 years newer at the time, had only 126k miles and it was an auto. I got it from an auto auction for $5400.

Basically I think 7k for a 10 yr old car with 140k on it is too much. 6k would probably be fair for both parties considering the rarity nowadays. 4-5k would be a steal.
