^K ... borderline fail there bro. May I direct you to CL Fail thread?

!Aznboi128 02-04-2022 07:29 AM

$5500 seems decently cheap for an 81.

whitev70r 02-04-2022 07:38 AM

Questionable ... but it was more the pic of what you think it can become ... didn't seem like you were serious, at least I hope not ... that's the fail.

I'm just a pleb :p

I bought it CPO, it was a good deal as good deals go in this day and age. :okay:

Have to say the interior is super nice, and it's definitely a cut above the VWs in interior quality and materials. Plus the extra width and length vs a Golf wagon is nice.

Hahaha... dude must be joking if he thinks it just needs a fuel filter. Yah.. needs a fuel filter every 2km... or tank pulled/drained more like it.

Good luck with that. 4 years isn't too much time to sit honestly for a car, but I bet it's sat a long longer than that... and with regular in the tank, not premium... varnish by now.

i like it. looks like it's been sitting a while though.

kind of gives off a leaky interior vibe

ZHP E46? ZSP? ZZP? I don't even know anymore, but it's some kinda package. Maybe not a smashing deal but looks to relatively well cared for.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...ok_story_share

EDIT: Well. Looks like its gone. It was $6500 for a Sport Package Sedan E46 with about 120,000KM mileage.
Wonder if someone picked it up, or maybe the guy got so many inquiries that they're gonna re-list at a higher price.

JDMDreams 02-04-2022 06:14 PM

Was it a manual, and what color was it?

I can't believe the 3.8 in that Taurus is still running, those engines hate their own headgaskets so much

Toyota Celica GT -2002 $3700.00 obo

For sale: 2002 Toyota Celica GT
199,000 km
4 cylinder, 1.8 litre engine
5 speed manual transmission (stick shift)
Good condition – no rust
Sunroof
A/C
Cruise control

The good:
Interior is in great shape.
Runs very smoothly and shifts well.
Everything works well.
No rust.

The bad:
Wheel rims look crummy, (you can see what I mean by the pics)
Tires have maybe 40 – 60% tread.
Engine runs very smoothly, but consumes some oil – cylinder no.3 is the culprit I believe, (according to the service records)

This car had only two owners. The wife of my brother-in-law’s brother bought it new, then my brother-in-law owned it for about the last 5 years. I’m technically the third owner, but I’m only holding it to sell, since my elderly brother-in-law passed away recently.

If interested please contact me by email. Thanks.

^ engine is toast so factor that in.

I say this because I bought one awhile back that was slightly further along in losing its engine and did the swap to a used 1ZZ… also in great shape inside and out… with less kms…. Definitely did not pay anywhere near $3,700 for it.

It's a bit said because they're underrated cars, handle and drive extremely nicely especially for the age... but the market values aren't there. If you can track down a 1ZZ that is compatible (finding used engines is always a timing thing, I had a tough time and had to do some modifications -- ask me if you're interested), it's a good buy depending on your needs <$2,000 but judging by the asking price I think this owner might not be mentally prepared at this juncture to go half their ask on it.

I would pick that up if I had space for it - it's a nostalgia car for me...

Is there something about this car's history you can share?

68style 02-08-2022 03:25 PM

No, nothing like that... but it's beige on beige and a 4 cylinder automatic... I can't imagine anything more boring to drive

bcrdukes 02-08-2022 04:39 PM

Admittedly, that is a clean car, but the only guy in this thread to get a Camry boner is TopsyCrett. :inoutugh:

white rocket 02-08-2022 05:07 PM

^^While that particular Camry isn't the greatest color combo, I still get excited when I see almost any 80/90's Toyota (or Honda) product in such great condition with low mileage. Perhaps not boner inducing, but still its own level of incredible.

If you want a car that will never die. Now is your chance. I bet this Camry will out live even current Lexus products.
