Celica Forums General Discussion General 2004 CELICA GT!...I WISH I OWNED ONE!...HERE IS WHAT I DRIVE!

Really want to own a CELICA GT!...But it's out of my reach!...LOVE the CELICA GT!!!...But i still owe $9000 on my van!...

This is what i really drive dude's!...

why'd you buy a van you got kids or something?

jesus that is sad...

How come you didn't get a Celica in the first place? If you would of gotten a celica now you would have to pay for both cars...

Yea!...But they all grown up now!...

sell the van to UNIVERSAL CITY NISSAN!!! they take cars wit payments still on em, i think, then you can drive down to a toyota dealership and get a celi

Is this place around the San Diego Area?

have you heard of universal studios? its around the hollywood or LA area... might be a long drive from san diego... i hear this stuff on the radio while im driving since my FC rx-7 doesnt have a cd player... you can check other dealers around you if they take cars wit payments

Do you know anyone that has done this?...How does it work out...

i think they basically see how much ur car is worth like trading it in, then they kinda cut some of the price down so they can earn money off it... if i wanted a celi that bad and had no use for a van then i'd trade it in for a celi... ur choice man... good luck

Here is another pic

hey, look on the bright side...at least it had more room for you to and with tint window...ohhh yeahhhh... my g/f said my ride is too small to do anything

This one too!...

Thanks for sharing.

It's the least i can do!...

yeah those are some mad rims yo!

I keep em clean everytime! Alloy rims they really shine when i pull up at the gas station lights their are really bright!... makes my rims shine bright!

its clean i think you can trade it in even though there are still payments for it. consult with your bank.

Well another shot!

dude, if its a Super White GTS that you want i know of one place in San Diego.

They have a 2002 Super White GTS Celica, I checked it out a while ago, it was clean. i didnt get to see the milage but it was in good condition. check the autotrader. it should be around $11,000-$12,000.

i was gonna trade in my silver 4-speed for it. he said that i need to go to a bank and have them work out the money thing. but then i chose to wait a little longer.

I payed already like $19000 on my van payment and still owe $9000 on it !...i would like to get $7000 on trade in it only has 29000miles on it!
i know i'll be losing money!

dang...i've paid around $9,000 on my Celica (i got mine for the price of $17,886 but then there's the price of taxes and other BS) and so far i owe around $9,000.

but that my POV.

you, on the other hand, will be losing more...i agree.

how about selling it "privately" the money you get can be used to pay off the van and the rest can be used as a down payment.

OH!...i looked at your profile and your celi is awesome!

y did you ever buy the van in the first place for that price you could have gotten a brand new fully loaded GTS with every goodie from the dealer and still have a little cash left over

good luck with the celi purchase - get rid of that van asap...

hope you get one, Celicas are really nice cars, they look fucking sexy, they have good handeling, and its just the best, not the fastest but its fucking great, good luck with everything

nothing wrong with driving a van.

keep the van if you need it for kids or something and save up for a Celica.

sell it before it fall apart

tOOLing

this thread is funny...sorry

yea i agree i'm sorry its funny you take pics of ur mini van like that. but good luck with the celi purchase

I purchased my van when i was living in hawaii back in 2000 of November, needed something roomier!...But now my kid's are all growned up! and six cylinder kind of gas gusseler!
now i'm want something sportier and the celica caught my eye!...my two co-worker's they have one...And i test drove one and i love the styling and sleek look and handling of the celica! it just grabbed me!...and the car that i test drove was a CELICA GT in super white no action package, but it a 2004 very clean black leather interior i think!

just wondering how old are you? by the way, i drove one of those before for a job. them things are nasty on a 90 degree turn...

i bet my celica on that you dont have kids

i like how your sig and your avatar are pics of someone else's celica

This is just wrong, were looking at the engine of a mini van

Don't let it full you it's a 3.3L fuelflex @ 180HP! IT'S FAST VAN you got to know how to drive this van, i take corner turns at 60mph but you have to have positive control!or you lose a turn!heheh!

I'am 44 right now!...but if you met me in person you'll think i'm about 25yrs old!

He's right...I used to drive my mom's Grand Caravan before my celi, and if you took out the rear benches that thing could haul...

I have an easy fix for you. drive into the dealer ship of kearny mesa. tell them you want a GTS celica. theyll take care of your van probably buy it off you for the same price since you dont get any money back and theyll sell you a GTS with some odd amount of interest

Dude! i paid already like $19000 on this van,am i understanding you right?...they will pay me $19000 for my van?...Please explain in detail! thanks!

HELL NO THEY WONT PAY YOU 19!

Dont expect to get back what you paid for the car.

ok KBB value on your car is about 7399k (ruff estimate from kelly blue book) ... and lets say you owe about 9k on it ... the dealer will say ok ill take the minivan off your hands for what you owe on it BUT here is the price of the celica XXXXX more then likely a little bit higher the. reason for this is they are going to make back there money they lost on taking your van by increaseing the interest rate a liitle bit and uping the sticker price a few hundred bucks.


so heres a ruff diagram

**JUST A RUFF ESTIMATE PRICES AND INTEREST ARE NOT ACCURATE**

your van trade in value 7399.00 (ruff estimate)
-
they will take it off your hands for 9000.00
=
which leaves the differenace of about 1601.00 dollars they
lost

BUT

cost of celica GT 16000.00 (ruff estimate)
so they will either add the differance to the 16000.00+1601=17601.00 (thats how they make back there money

OR

the sticker price 16000 with a high interest rate for a car lets say usual interest rate is 9.1 (with good credit) instead of that itll be high as hell like 15.0 or something like that. and thats another way theyll attempt to make more money off you.

*also just a key note dont expect to buy a new car and be able to sell it later on for the same amount. car depriciate in value very quickly the second you drive it off the lot the value of the car has gone down.

best thing to do about a trade in... IS NOT TO MENTION IT TILL YOU GET A PRICE ON THE CELICA..

Geeze, and I thought it was 15. I don't get this whole thing. But then again, I really don't want to. Mini Van's are the enemy!

well good luck with the celica purchase...and there's nothing wrong with wanting to get a sportier car at that age

She's just not inventive enough.

Just bend her over the hood of the car

NO! DONT SELL IT! make it better. slap a hemi v-10 in that beast. lambo doors up front, gullwing on sliding doors, airbagged, and a killer a/v system

Thanks dude!...let me know if you see a white celica gt at the dealers! PM me ok! Thanks! Here's my pic of me!
