I got mine because my uncle use to have one, and i loved the way it looked...back then i assumed it was fast, so i wanted it even more... So when i turned 17 i decided i wanted one, so i went to a few auctions and finally found one... I paid 3100 and it had 120k miles on. Clean title, and the guys that i went to the auction with put in a new radiator and new head gaskets and some other engine stuff i cant think of right now.

Me and my dad were out looking for a car for me (my first car). We stumbled across is at a used parking lot, looked at it and wasn't really that impressed at first (since it was all dirtied up and had some scratches/dents). Then we took it for a test drive and was amazed at how great condition it was in for having 129k miles on it. So it was a steal, we got it for only $3000. Now I'm really happy that I have a nice first car that's unique (even though it's not the fastest out there, it still looks damn good ).

I was on the way to Gilroy to buy a '93 GT with 60k miles and I stopped at a Mitsu dealer in San Jose to listen to the engine on a 6th gen with 100k on it. I only did that because I wanted to make sure the 5th gen one sounded normal. In my mind I already told myself there was no way I'd buy a car with that many miles, but when I saw it and drove it, I was hooked. '94 purchased in the spring of '99 for 9800 plus 500 for an extended warranty. I was in college so I couldn't afford to pay for repairs if anything went wrong. That was money I shouldn't have spent considering how reliable this car has been for me!

it was the summer of 01. i was looking for something newer then my 93 probe gt.
i was actually on my way to buy a lifted 98 ram 4x4. awesome truck. i went back to get it and they had sold it. after i told them the day before i was gonna get it.
i was depressed so i went looking around the lots. went to look at a PT cruiser for my mom and saw a lil red 99 celica gt sitting next to it.
they wanted $17500 for it. it was in my price range. i took it for a spin on the highway, came back and told them i would think about it. i called them back that night and told them to keep it for me till tomorrow evening when i got off work.
i went back the next day and since i use to work there and the manager remembered me he let me have it for $16k OTD with 20k miles on her.

Why? because at the time, it was the car of my dreams and wanted to get my hands on one. I looked for a good deal on one 4 half a year. I eventually lucked out and found one only 30 miles away. Paid $5,600 for it. Only one previous owner with 92k original miles. I frickin' love the car!

i was rocking a 95 taurus that my mom bought and since we had 2 cars, i used that. one day the berings went at 55k . we didnt want to put any money into fixing it, so my mom traded the car in when she was buying something new for herself.

so now it was time for me to buy a new car. original plan was to get a new 7th gen. after coming very close to buying one, i changed my mind becasue the price was far more then what i wanted to pay.

i noticed the 6th gen and realize that i liked the look of that car, far more then the 7th gens. i looked around for a few, almost bought an automatic gt, and almost bought a maual ST. then one day i found the 98 with 30k on the clock. talked them down to 13.5 . the car looked and felt brand new. it was very well taken care of.

I'm pretty sure I've answered this question before.
But yes it was my dream car when I was young (16).
I've also admired the way it looks.
Wasn't until jan 2004 that my dream came true.
Now I want a GT-4, but I am still keeping this beauty

ok get this...i live in ajax, ontario and i havnt really seen many 6gc's around before. i started my search on the net and after about 3 months of searching i found one in hamilton, the owner was actually only selling it because he was buying a 96 gts off of his DAD lol....i wouldnt blame him it was a higer model and 5 speed.....but hey im not complaining. the cool part is that he actually drove from hamilton down to toronto to give me the car and he drove back with his wife. the crapy thing is that of all the 6gc's that i found in those 3 months were all in really bad condition..i mean they were all either really overpriced or were just really poorly taken care of, i got lucky with this one though, the 2 previous owners were 2 brothers so i had 100% of the cars records, no rust or body damage, i got it at about 210 000km for 5000 CAN

I bought my first celica in 1999. It's a 87 gt coupe, with the 3sfe motor. Then I started to research the 3sgte motor and which cars could recieve the motor. I found out that my 87 could fit the motor but would need a good amount of modification. I started saving for everything I would need. Well at about 5k saved I blew the 3sfe. I was in need of a car bad so I went looking. The last car I looked at that day was a '95 Celica GT convertible. The two rear windows were messed up on it so I was not really into it that much. Until I started the engine and took it for a drive(i like that low end torque). So I bought it(5k 100kmiles), found out the 3sgte transplant would be much easier on it.

My mom had owned Celicas in the past, a brown 70's coupe and a yellow 80's hatchback, and so when my GTi died on me, I went looking for a Celica. I got on Autotrader and found mine the morning of it being posted. My dad went and looked at it, and told me that "He doesn't have the money right now". later that day he pulled into the driveway with it. $5900 with 81K on the clock, cheap for a 6th gen in Washington. Love it. I am waiting for my tax money to come back to me, then coilovers and sway bars.

Had my '94 GT4 WRC for a year or so, paid £5,100 with 34,000 miles on it, the previous owner had spent £3,000 on it in the last year fitting a bigger turbo etc.
I bought it because I had owned Lancia Delta Integrales in the past and knew 4WD+Horsepower=Fun and when I saw the condition the GT4 was in, it would have been a crime not to buy such a beautiful car in such good condition for such a low low price.

Last March. Had been looking at a 7th gen because I wanted a reliable Japanese car, stick shift and kinda sporty, but went with a 6th gen due to money issues. Though after I got this one repaired I could have had a 7th gen. Never mind. She's beautiful, and I hope that she lasts. And, $7300 for a 95 vert with 87k miles. Not a bad deal.

It looked nice and I wanted something that was seen rare driven around. So, after working with my uncle repairing a motel. I was paid 2.5K and with a little help from my parents I bought the Celi for 4.5K. Soon after a month the celi broke down so I went and swapped in a 4age and here I am today. Although the Celi is rare, it is also underpowered.
