want to buy a 88-89 celica awd turbo

**TurBinE** · 01-11-2005, 01:04 PM

live in scarborough and i have a budget of $3500

**MartinGouda** · 01-11-2005, 01:10 PM

that shouldn't be too hard to find for that price...

**Burrcold** · 01-11-2005, 01:18 PM

^^seriously. That's quite the budget for a 16/17 year old car.

**MartinGouda** · 01-11-2005, 01:33 PM

not really... it's about right.. you have to rememebr that it's an AWD turbo

they go for 2000 minimum to 5000 max with out modifications

**Sergio** · 01-11-2005, 01:37 PM

still so not worth it these days. 5000 on a 15 year old car. do a downpayment on a wrx, monthly payments will equal the amount of maintnance you will put on the 15 year old car anyway...atleast thats the way i look at it

**TurBinE** · 01-11-2005, 02:55 PM

i would pay 3500 if it had low mileage around 150 and good shape..

**Burrcold** · 01-11-2005, 03:18 PM

If it was garage kept...under 80 original km's...and no rust at all I would possibly consider spending the money on that.

**TurBinE** · 01-11-2005, 03:25 PM

the hard part is finding that kind of car. they have none on autotrader

**Timbo** · 01-11-2005, 04:00 PM

Its the time of year. Most people expect to get more for thier cars in the
spring/summer due to demand being higher, so more people sell then.
I'm in Ottawa and been looking for a clean 4th or 5th gen with under
250K ....nothing for a few weeks.

**MartinGouda** · 01-11-2005, 04:02 PM

**Timbo** · 01-11-2005, 04:07 PM

Really? Not to hijack this thread, but any that could be road-worthy with work ?

well you know what i meant...atleast u dont have to unload a g all the time into a car that u know wont last you.

**TurBinE** · 01-12-2005, 07:20 PM

sergio it's not how old the car is it's how u take care of it....

**Sergio** · 01-12-2005, 07:37 PM

Very true, but you have to find a car that was well taken care of. I am a big critic of old cars, my dad spent so much money on his and he ended up drving it into a dump and getting 100bucks for it.

If you have plans for it thats awesome! i was just saying that for me, investing money into something that is 15-16 years old and as years go by it will be 20...is it really worth the 5g's and the trouble?

have to look ahead as well. But also depends what car it is and how it was made.
