IT IS Finally time to change my car - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #9616 61 posts Started by goku
I have 2 questions.

i have been waiting along time to sell my car. Now i am sure i will be able to sell it.
I owe $2900 for the car. The milege is 143k.

1. How much do you think i should ask for/ what is the cheepest i should go for ?

2. For my next car i have a choice of: Toyota Supra TT, Infinity G35, Lexus IS300.
What car should i go for and why ?

Not sure about how much to sell for, but I'd go for either a stock Supra TT or a stock Lexus IS300. Either way, you get an insanely awesome car. I wouldn't want one that's real modified, because then you know it's most likely been driven hard. >wink.gif>

New Toyota project coming soon...

I'm with coomer, i'd pick the IS300, don't know why I just love that car. I am not a big fan of Nissan, could be cause the dealer up here are crooks.

check out the blue book vaule for you celica and ask for that..

and i would go for the IS300 because it's a newer car and every fun to drive from what i hear. But then again if you can find a supra in great shape go for that.. as for the G35 i don't know to much about that car.. all i know is that i got my ass handed to me by one on the highway this past weekend..

I;d go for the supra.

And if you need help selling your car, check out my webpage. I'd love to help someone sell a celica, and i'll give you $50 off if you want. Let me know.

Good luck!

I would go with the Infinity G35... sweet ass car, but not a yota, but ... thats what i would say.... an if you did only few mods, it would be rare... not to many peoplw would have it with well anything really done, compared to the most of supra an is300
I would look at the final result of what you want out of your next car... you seem to be leaning towards the g35.. personally I dont like em but that just my opinion...

If you want to modify the car then figure out what a basic plan would be for each of the cars.. then calculate what it would cost to get your there.. keep in mind avaliblity of parts, how reliable mods are.. etc. I personally would take the supra out of those three.. not because of how it looks or how fast it is.. but because there are alot of parts out there for it and alot of people that have modified theirs and that equals alot of info for them.

but as always to each there own so diffently go with what you want >wink.gif>

I would pick the supra, then g35 and finally is300. I don't think the supra needs any explanation but the g35 is a sick car in my mind. plenty of power, rediculously good looks and its basically a skyline (!)
if you are looking to get something new from factory, nice warranty, all the good stuff that comes from buying off the lot, go for the G35 for sure. but if you wanna venture into the used car market again, go supra >smile.gif>

i need to know how much i can sell my car for. please look at the pic, the mileg is 143k, Let me know how much.
kbb.com it. then add a few hundred for your mods >biggrin.gif>
I have the KBB program at work......High Blue Book is $7,255....Low is $4,675. This does not include any mods. It's all bone stock.
IMO you could would get 4ish for it if it didnt have a kit. maybe 4500 is reasonable with the kit (you dont get out how much you put in unfortunatly) probably 5000-5250 if you keep the system in it. the car looks incredable, but your milage is a killer, most people know that toyotas will last forever, but their resale value after hitting 120K miles suffers.

the kbb.com told me $5,465 that's without mods and kit. I will give it ayay for $4000+
In response to the second part of your question,
I would get the Supra.
I have driven both a 2003 is300 5spd and a 1995 Supra single turbo 6spd.
The Supra gets way more looks, has performance that is almost unsurpassable, and it really is an overall gorgeous car.

Although the is300 pretty much has the same engine as the naturally aspired supra, it's still not very fast, i think 0-60 is 6.9 with the 5spd..

If you want practicality go for the lexus
If you want a sportscar go for the supra

the g-35 coupe is awesome, but its a bit too posch and prissy for my liking.
what's the best way to sell the car. Recycler classifieds ??
recycler, autotrader, local free ads

all are good.

im actually shopping for another car as well. as soon as we get rid of my dad's honda im out shoping.

sister is most likely gonna get my car

ohh sorry goku i forgot. yea alot of pricing stuff is also relative to location. you would probably pull about 1k more out in CA then you would over in MI. my bad.

the supra is a legendary piece of art coupled with a seemingly unlimited supply of power with the right mods, did anyone else see that sweet supra video on celica.net? there was a quote at the beginning that pretty much says it all "pure adrenaline attached to a liscence plate, isn't it about time you tried one" or something like that. As far as I'm concerned, there is something about the car, that just makes me feel all powerful, and my loyalty runs deep for toyota.

some people say, theres better cars out there.

but, its the only car that is me, call me crazy, but I do not plan to live my life without one.

I think you know what my answer to your question is

I don't mean to offend anyone, but to me the g35 and is300 are both pretty ugly.....the supra is my bet.

However.....in the long run a more sophisticated/less sporty car might be a good choice, it really depends on how long you plan on keeping it.
id get the G35- my dad is buying one by may, and ive driven one- the balance in the car is amazing- so fluid in its movements... in my opion the supra interior is gross, and the IS is getting dated... so id go G35...

Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driverCar #1: 01 Focus ZX3- purchased 5/01, sold 8/03
what car gets the girls ?
My Supra only got girls when it was waxed up and with tire gloss with the targa off.........but I just did that because it looked gorgeous that way =P I am thinking of getting another Supra TT but the lady wants a 350Z Roadster...lol
