Celica Forums General Discussion General Well, I'm thinking about selling the Celica.

I want to sell the celica and buy a car that cost around $2000 so I can save up money every month and have enough to buy an SRT-4 by the end of the summer.

I love the celica, but now I want to buy an SRT-4 really bad. And if I buy a $2k car I will not have any payments and insurance will be cheap, so that way I can save up.

celica is such a better car than the srt-4, why would you want to do that.
just because it's fast means nothing

u will save money on car payment and insurance but you will be fix the car every other days.. it will total up

I thought about doing this towards the end of this previous summer. My celica got wrecked pretty bad. I got plenty of money to repair the car, plus $8,000 to cover medical, and compensation. The dealer was going to give me $10,000 for my 2002 GT with 50,xxx miles. I was looking at getting an 05 SRT-4 in the Orange Blast Pearl. I was ready to sign all the papers. Insurance would have only changed about $150 more every six months on my clean record.

I decided against it. My heart wanted the EVO 8, but I was ready to settle for the SRT-4 because it still had plenty of potential. Also, my car is fully paid off, I'm a full time student, and I'm lucky to work even part time. So it wasn't cost feasible. I love my car, and I think it looks so much better than the SRT-4. Plus, EVERYBODY seems to have an SRT now. They're everywhere. When I got my Celica, I picked it becuase very few people had one in my area. They're everywhere too now, but not as common as the SRT. I'm just going to save my $$ for the EVO 9 in 2006. It'll be my college graduation gift to myself!

u can always let people know that you dont drive a neon you drive a srt-4

He's young. Maybe that's all he wants.

Either way, I say good luck.

Being fast means nothing? Ok. Your statement seems a little weird to me seeing as how everyone seems to be working on a cars performance nowdays.

Sure you can save a little but you may want to come up with at least $5000 for a down payment & then have a high monthly payment. Can you come up with stacks of cash by the end of the summer?

hahaha i loved that vid..if that's what you were referring to.

as far as srt-4, i wouldn't buy one...but they are faster and probably just as reliable as a celica. i just don't like the styling of them at all...both interior and exterior. thats basically my only complaint.

Well everybody thinks of selling the celica...

Based on what i read..you want a fast car thats ugly..

Um, ok $2000, fast car thats ugly...a DSM!! Get a 1992 GSX AWD Turbo Eclipse.

two totally different cars
one is ugly and domestic to lots of people and is a piece, the only good thing people see in it is that it goes fast, which is what everyone wants.
i already went through that with my wrx, just wasn't the same as the celica even though having it fast was fun, the celica was such a nice car.

but i see he wrecked his celica, so it would probably be better to just go for a new car anyway.
but i don't think he should get an srt4, i would recommend an 05 wrx over that.

from what i can tell you want a fast straight line car. Just go for the SRT-4 if thats what you want.

Weren't you the one who sold his GT for a GTS then swapped back?

An SRT-4 over a Celica? Dude, not even close. Keep the Celica.

yeah thats him hehe

jeez..another guy who wants a NEON instead of a celica... jeezuhs..out of all the cars you can find...you want a neon...yeah they are fast, but at the end of the day...when your looking at your car in your driveway, all you can say is,"Damn, its a neon." well good luck with that bro...
