What was your other choice? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #18862 39 posts Started by Redline_Racer
when you guys bought your cars what where you comparing it to? for me it was either my celica, 98 GS eclipse, or a 98 tiburon. I chose my celica because it is soo much sexier than the other cars.

It was either a 96' Maxima SE or 96 eclipse. But eclipses seem to have to many problems.
Back in the day before I got the Celica I was considering a 200SX, older 240SX, or a 3rd gen. Integra. I'm so glad I got the Celica instead of those cars. >biggrin.gif>

New Toyota project coming soon...
i was comparing it with 94 - up eclipses and 94 - 99 integras.

I wanted an Integra or F250.. but I'm glad I got my celica. >smile.gif>

YoungSurvival.Org-Celica traded for.. 350z.. traded for Mazda5.. soccer mom!
wanted a 71 chevelle, but then i realized that it was an insane amount of money.

looked at an integra
i was given my celica, aint that the coolest.

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
Supra, MR2, Integra, 300ZX, 2.5RS, WRX.
all turbo ideas got killed by rents.
2.5RS was nowhere to be found, and the integra...well, no GS-R's or Type R's that were nice
near the end it was down to the celi or the eclipse. But it wasnt really a choice, since there was no way my dad would let me get anything but a toyota/lexus.

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
i went to buy a 98 Ram 1500. lift, mud tires, duals. AWESOME!!!

they sold it the morning i went to pick it up(after i told them not to sell it)
that night i saw the Celica and picked it up the next day.

Celica fell in my lap, didnt even drive it before i bought it ( i was 250miles away).

96 mustang gt
Honda Civic DX Hatch, I did so much researching with their jdm engines & hybrids for nothing, bleh. In a way I hate that I researched all the info for nothing so I been thinking of also getting me the DX Hatch & commit to that first since its cheaper to modify & bigger aftermarket.
Mustang GT, Mustang Cobra, keep my 65 stang and replace the cheap engine with a 302, Corvette, ...

96 mustang GT
95-96 jetta (VR6 only)

Either a DSM, 5th gen, or 6th Gen...... 6th gens are the best looking cars on the road.... so thats what I went for.....

I thought about getting a 2003 tiburon but every place I called had already sold what they had etc. But Im glad I found my Celica! Love @ first site awwww The dealer dude wanted me to buy this red 96 eclipse but well...I obviously didnt get it >wink.gif>
ow man i wish i had an extra 2gs to buy a 1997 + prelude V-tir model.
I love preludes soooooo much, i think soon as i save up a bit of money im gonna sell me celica and buy a prelude!!!

ow the celica is good, but it aint no prelude with crazy vtec, and ive only had my celica for like a 3months but i need more power already.

i also wanted a 300zx or a FTO but parents didnt want me having an import or a turbo in the 300s case.
mr2 or miata. no regrets with the celi tho
well with the GT.. I aslo looked at and 98 A4 1.8T... (wanted what i once had...) and also looked at a Civic Si ... (but didn't want to make car payment) so i went back to the first car i found that i was looking for 95 Celica GT - Fully loaded... only spent 50 bucks out of pocket..

yall are gonna get a kick from this one... >smile.gif>

91 300ZX TT Vs. Celica. Took the celi for gas mileage and longevity... now I get freaking <25mpg. >frown.gif>
I was searching for an AE86 or a del sol w/ vtech, but fell for my celi.
