Wow. Defensive.

Look, bro. I have age on you and I have worked my ass off to get a car. If I want something that looks nice (A nice change from the present) what does it matter to you? You sound as if you're about to be presented with a POS car and you're trying to make yourself feel better about it.

I can afford a car that looks as nice as it drives. It might not be a NEW car, but what's the problem?

All I'm saying is it would be better to save your money for more important things, if you really care that much about it get the car man, I don't give stuff. Just giving some tips is all.

Once you are done, I'd love to see pictures of your new car.

Pls do.

I'm not going to buy anything that's not very nice mechanically.

That's a given as I've been driving without AC, heat, cruise, windshield washer fluid (My car doesn't hold it), or a cigarette lighter (It has one, it doesn't work). Let's see... One wheel air valve is leaking, the "rims" are actually hubcaps stuck onto a crappy black rim, The sunroof cover does not close, Nothing has power except steering, the body is banged up (not from me), it will only hold a small ass battery so they're expensive for me, it stinks of old pot and spills (not from me), The interior is shabby, the seats do not slide right, the steering wheel is peeling, there is a dead wasp I can't get out of the back window that's been there since I bought it, and many more things. Here are pics:

I know this post is sloppy, but I don't care. Also... this car was $600. I'm not complaining, I'm just stating the issues. This has been an amazingly reliable car for the price and the time I've had it. I'm simply ready to move up a notch.

I never liked the way the Sunfire's front lights looked on the 2000 series.

In my opinion, it's better than the new ones. It's like someone whos eyes are too close together. The tail lights are the same way.

Also, at college I saw a stock red celica. It was a lot more lovey in person.

Don't know if you can find one for 6K. I have only seen a few that much but Scion TC's are sporty, way newer than 95 and they turn heads. Plus they are Toyota's so you know they are mechanically good.

Bones4 · June 17, 2009, 03:14:43 PM

That's way out of my price range. Thanks though.

At the moment, I'm striving for a celica. That would be anywhere from 2000 to 2005-ish.

My brother owns one of those, really nice car considering it's all modular.

It looks like I'd get $1,000 for it... trade in that is. This would be a hard car to sell myself.

A Sunfire for 1K sounds pretty good for a starter car if you were to sell it.

Any news on your car search? :D

Yes.

Celicas are selling like hotcakes (Mind the stale expression).
