Celica Forums General Discussion Videos, Pictures, and Audio Clips Pics of my Totalled Celica *56k beware*

Alright, so for those of you who dont know the story (Jeff aka cycocelica ) I totalled my celica sunday night. I fell asleep at the wheel, hit a mailbox, garbage can, went into the ditch, flew up out of the ditch and was airborn (this is where i woke up) and landed on the road. I skidded on the road lost control and wound up in the ditch on the other side of the road. I was recovering all week and havent been into work all week. Anyway... the mechanic siad he stopped counting the damage when he got to $11,000 So needless to say its totalled. With the money I'm getting back (still have no idea how much) I'm gunna get another celi of course! Here are some pics of my celi totalled...







Also here are some celicas that im looking at right now... lemme know what you guys think and if its worth it. Click on the link below the picture to see the ad.

Thats all I've found for now, if you wanna help me find some used celi's be my guest! My area code is 08559. And my specs for the celi are GTS, stick and spec blue

my old celica is still for sale!!

ouch!

glad ur ok

the headlamps made it

goodluck on your new celica.. how about Billys

Believe me, i would LOVE to get billys... it looks sooo sick in person. Its got quite a reputation around here. All my friends know about it and ask if i ever saw the 'red celica by muller toyota' i say "yeah! thats my buddy billy's celica that hes selling, i wanted to slap him for that!" anyway, i cant afford that one. $20k is NOT what im getting back from the insurance. but otherwise I totally would

Ouch! Poor baby! I want to kiss it better...BUT IT WON'T HELP!!!!

ooh man Timo! you make me cry Btw the enginge still good??

damn , glad ur ok. poor celi awesome to see ur gettin another one though

thanks Tim for the low down...

but damn that sucks bro, glad you are ok...personally i like the 2nd celi

get another celi...why?

good to hear you are recovering~

Man that sucks, glad your ok

Alright, I'm home and those pictures look really fierce, glad you're ok dude.

I'm going to bed now

that looks totally messed up. glad ur okay. at least u'll get another celi

Hey thanks guys

Btw just to clear everything up... I cant part out my celica. I only took the aftermarket parts and those I'm going to reinstall into my new celi. The whole car now belongs to insurance. Thats WHY im getting refunded all my money. So to make it easier... consider everything in my car sold. I've gotten soooo many PM's asking to part out stock parts. So if you sent me a PM about it and I didnt respond sorry, Ive just gotten sick responding back to them. And if anyone else sends me a PM about it, I'm gunna send a PM back saying this...

^Read carefully

Which reminds me of a story. When I was returning my car back to stock, a guy came up to me and asked me if I wanted to sell my seats to him. I told him I couldnt because of insurance, he siad ill give you $1000 for both. I siad I cant, he siad $1500. I siad I couldnt agian. I asked him if he had a celica and he siad 'no, im gunna pop em in my oldsmobile'

ha, i just got home too man. Shark Tale wasnt THAT bad

dude..that look really bad..but as long as you aight..it's all good..man you gotta be more careful from now on..falling sleep on the wheel can put you in a box..from now now keep ur head up and becareful..take a lil nap if you feel like ur eyes' gonna shut on ya..take it easy and hope everything work out fro ya Timo..

i hope you went with yous gf

Wow, im also glad you're ok. I just got into a car accident 2 days ago. I don't know how much the repair going to be yet but it's going to be up there. Check out some pics...

pic one

pic 2

pic 3

pic 4: notice how the rear wheel is somewhat pushed in on an angle.

heres a shot from the front

it's nowhere close as bad as yours. But how much do you think this is going to cost to repair. I heard the rear quarter panel is expensive to repair. Something is also wrong when I switch my gear to parking. It has a hard time clicking into place. What could it be?

Oh man I feel for you, you are looking at thousands to do it right, just a guess but probably around 5K+. Not sure why you would be having shifting problems, I would definitely get that checked out as well.

This makes me sad to see all these Celica's wrecked

Glad your ok tho

BTW: happened?

Glad your ok and have fun celi hunting.

Wow, you fucked it large. Looks like you almost lost that wheel, the shaft is pulled out, the strut is out. Crazy!

haha yeah i went with her and two of my other friends i know youre jealous

oh i so am

sorry to hear that timo...any way you r parting out?

^^^^ An excellent idea.

Buy your car back from the insurance company & ebay it one part at a time. You'll make a killing!

I cant, i need another car asap. Doing that would take time.

both those cars look really bad!!

the red car will need over 6k to be repaired right

You can get another car at the same time. Your insurance company will probably let you buy your old one for about $1000. The engine & tranny are worth about $3000 pulled out alone. With all the other parts I could see you make $10,000 on the deal. Just pay the $1000 & start dissasembly later when you have time, or sell the component.

Yeah but i dont know how to take out the engine and tranny! let alone find a box to ship that in!

lol...i'd settle for just the top piece of the center console (the part that holdes the clock & sunglass holder) ... lemme know whats up

Don't ya know, its easy to take things apart, the hard part is putting it back together. LOL

I am sure you could buy it complete for $1000 & sell it for maybe $4000 without doing any work to it.

Ill ask insurance about the whole 'buying back' thing... but honestly... how the hell would i go about selling the engine and tranny? whats involved? I dont have anything to lift it out...

^^ i personally wouldnt worry about buying the car back..timo. you probably broke some of the motor mounts anyway running in and out of ditches.

do you see what i wrote about the top piece of the center console?

But then again, your either the type that's not afraid to take chances & make some cash or you aren't. I'm sure the scrap yard will be happy to have it.

yeah i saw caleb, but i cant do anything right now. like i siad... it all belongs to the insurance. every last part. sorry man

oh no, believe me im the type to take chances... im just wondering what it would involve

If you seperate the engine & tranny, two guys can lift the motor out (300lbs) & the tranny is lighter (200lbs). But you could buy a chain hoist ($40) or a hydraulic engine hoist ($200) which is cool to own & it would be easy picking. You grab a wooden skid or two from the back of a store or factory. You use rope or straps to secure the engine to it & call the shipping company & tell them you don't have a toe motor. They will drop by with a truck that will have an elevator & they will use it to put it on the elevator & it won't be a prob. Probaby cost ya $200 to ship it to the other side of the country. Do the same with the tranny if you seperate the two. Then you can get into body parts, interior parts, exhaust, rear struts, gas tanks, fuel pumps. Scrap yards sell their motors stripped, so pull the alt, air condit, belt, a/c pump & everything including the throttle body off the motor, sell those seperate. The list goes on & on. The scrap yard I am sure make $10,000 for every scrap car they part out. Its a cool business.

How much could I get if i just sell the car to a scrap yard?

I almost bought that blue celi you posted a pic of 2 weeks ago. If your looking for Certified Celica's Toyota of Lakewood had a few GTS certified in stock. I bought mine from them.
