Harwood Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 as most of you may have seen, i have been having some trouble with my car. after having had toyota and ian at TRnD listen to it, i have done the safe thing and gone for a part ex on another car. unfortunately it isn't a celica, but its still jap. but the deal was too good to turn down so i've taken them up on it. from friday my ride will be a Suzuki Ignis sport on an 04 plate with only 44000 miles on the clock which i was offered a straight swap for my celica (the ignis had £2699 in the window but last week it had £3699 they must have wanted rid of it.) i plan on keeping this car until i find a red T-sport! hopefully it wont be too long! anyway, here's some pictures.

rpsmith79 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Unfortunate about getting rid of the Celica, but you have got a bloody good deal there I actually quite like those little Suzuki's and at least it's got a few toys on it and a nice set of wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nthnmunky Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I feel that congrats may be in order. You may have offloaded a potential problem in the making with the old car not quite 100%. Let's all hope that the T-Sport of your dreams turns up soon eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan23 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I actually quite like those little Suzuki's and at least it's got a few toys on it and a nice set of wheels have you driven one? its like driving in a corsa the size of a cardboard box, frigging hate them, no room at all in them, and my mate who is 26 stone cant drive it cos he cant get the seat back enough so the steering wheel rest on his belly, fucking funny mind not really jap in my eyes cos they are owned by Vauxhall now days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have offloaded a potential problem in the making with the old car not quite 100%. Let's all hope that the T-Sport of your dreams turns up soon eh? i can only hope, im feeling sad already and the celica is still outside my house! have you driven one? its like driving in a corsa the size of a cardboard box, frigging hate them, no room at all in them, and my mate who is 26 stone cant drive it cos he cant get the seat back enough so the steering wheel rest on his belly, fucking funny mind not really jap in my eyes cos they are owned by Vauxhall now days i drove it for a bit today, and it does have some go about it, maybe not quite as quick as the celica but it will get me by. What the betting we get a post in Newbies in a few weeks"Hi, i just bought a red Gen 7 with black roof and bonnet, and the engine is making this funny rattling sound" I was meaning more in the looks department, not really my kind of car, but the do look nice my celica would be going to auction so anyone could end up with it! So what was wrong with the Celica in the end? no idea, toyota didnt know, nor did the TRnD guy, but it wasnt sounding good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
