Yelli Celi IS Totalled - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #25758 128 posts Started by Coomer
you can probably find the parts to fix it and sell it like a front clip 20v front clip for 6th gen its up to you just some ideas

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
you can look at it in a positive way. like 1900wattcelica said, you will get more than your $6k asking price unless you decide to try and fix it. its just hard to see something you put so much time and effort into turn to something destroyed overnight. $4200 + $car > $6000, so just try to look at it that way so this situation isnt a complete loss...
if u part it out you might be able to get a thousand or 2. that engine must be worth somethign to someone

the engine and full harness can go for 2000-2500 then if he parts out the interior and the little things fenders seats etc another 500+

Yeah Coom, I think you'd definitely be able to make your more than your $6000 if you parted it out. I can think of a few things I'd want and and would pay well for.

Sorry about your car. I hope it turns out for the better.
Seeing crap like this makes me angry. >mad.gif> Don't people know the two rules of life? Never mess with a man's girl or his car. Messing with a mans NICE car is even worst. Hey coomer if you car is totaled you should buy a new celica and put your old engine in your new car. Anyway I hope that you will be able to get a new celica.

He had been trying to sell the Celica for almost a year so I'm not sure he's really in the market for another one.
Thanks for the input guys. I've got several options at this point:
  • Part out the car
  • Fix the car(just touch up the scratches and fix and paint the rear trunk lid and plate bezel myself) and keep it. No more money would be put into it, and the car would be just my basic daily driver...30 MPG plus a car that's a blast to drive(even if it's ugly.) I've got the window, seats, and some interior parts already from the purple Celi.
  • Fix the car and sell it with a salvage title.

Regardless of the money issue, the situation sucks...even at $7,000 I was taking a huge loss on the car, and it hurts to see the car so destroyed after nearly four years of hard work.

New Toyota project coming soon...
I'd be so ****ing pissed if someone would steal anything from me, but if they wreck things for fun or because they're jealous or something i just can't describe my rage, it's just so pointless.

What about your rims, they stole them too?

so sorry to hear this Coomer, hope you'll find out who did this.

Plant bombs in it to go off when the car is touched. Set it in your front yard, Im sure you will get rid of the theives then >smile.gif>
i might not be well known here but i've been on the site for awhile just not the most active person but i've gotta say some things

coomer,

I hate seeing things like this happen to people like you. You worked hard making that car what it was. I really hope they find the people who did it so you can get some justice.

I'm a web developer myself so I know how much work went into making this site what it is today. You are completely dedicated to 6gc.net. I want to say thanks man. This site has made my experience with my 6th gen exponentially better. Actually, it was reading posts on this site that helped me make my decision to buy a celica.

Just wanted to let you know your hard work is appreciated man.

Coomer, sorry for the wild tangent, but what insurance was this under? State farm is sending an adjuster, and I'm at risk for being totalled too.. Kinda want to know what to expect

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
sry man. I really hate it for you. I don't know what to say...

Best of luck to you.
Things like this make me wanna spend the extra money for full coverage. Sorry Coomer that really sucks, I hope you can get back on your feet.

My car = 0-60 in ~9secIt's slow, I know
wow i just saw this thread today ... sorry coomer thats a damn shame ... if u need any interior parts hit me up have about few things i know u can use... if u decide to keep the celi

[TeamNJCT
Just plain sucks man

I will return one day.
how about making the yeli celi as a race car?
ive been away for a few days and i jsut saw this. OMG. I know i dont have to tell u how much this sucks. Well my best wishes are with u not matter which direction u decide to go. May the yellow celi rest in peice.

sorry to hear. you can probably get the salvage title removed pretty easy just as long as its road worthy. im guessing they didnt mess up the engine thats a good thing. i would fix it.

Christian,

I'm really sorry this happened bro. If you do decide to part it out let me know, I'll work my connections and try to make you some money. Heck, I might just pick some parts up myself.

i say drive it around as a daily driver since you fixed all the bugs. and use some of the money and buy a shot gun if the person or persons come back for more.
buy a door handle activated mine...that way you can arm it when u lock ur doors and if anyone trys to open it....boom...at least they die with the car
Sorry to see that! I had my back windsheild bashed and all tires flat too! Karmas a *****!

=(
fix it - and you will have a really nice daily driver...

maybe some day you will win a lotery and make a show stoper of it, who knows >smile.gif>
