dragon queen Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Hi guys just wondering if any of you have got experience with these as there is a chance ( due to health issues ) that i may have to sell my celica ( which i dont really want to do ) but i want to stick to the gen6 . firstly i have no idea what the value is of my car any one got a rough idea ? and what sort of cost it is to buy an auto gen6 money is really tight so a swap would be good if the value is about the same . so please can anybody give me any help Edited May 13, 2011 by dragon queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzzzythedog Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 auto`s fetch about 200 quid less than there manual brothers , so a nice car which is in good nick and has been looked after is worth say 1200-1500 on a stirrer and a grand with an auto , selling yours should release a couple of hundred quid , you may even be able to swop it as people desire a manual more than autos ?

izzzzythedog Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 yep , its arguable that a sports car can be an auto so there isnt many , i like the autos myself , the acceleration is rather good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon queen Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 my problem is that i traded a auto toyota estima for my celica because i missed having a cluck pedal and a gear knob only to find now i may have to go back to a auto :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Dare I say a Gen7 Triptronic auto? these are import models but my understanding is you have shift buttons on the steering wheel so you would be able to shift up and down the box without having a clutch.

rpsmith79 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sorry to hear about this Amanda, might be worth putting up a wanted/swapsies post seing if any members would want to swap an auto for a manual Isn't there some swapsies type website around somewhere??

Gt-R2000UK Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 A lad who works in the office at my place had/has an auto celica, not sure if he managed to sell it or not but he has been driving his skyline since that came back from scooby clinic. That was an import and only had 40something km on the clocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briano Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 nix or bigb might have an auto box, just convert your own car, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon queen Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 nix or bigb might have an auto box, just convert your own car, its a good idea but a too bigger job for us to do and we cant afford to have someone do it for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Celica Auto boxes are great, as are the MR2 ones! Don't bother converting, WAY more effort than it's worth. You can get good auto celicas for pennies these days. http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1859174.htm - £695 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/featuredlistingad/advert/201102377167910/usedcars/price-to/1000/transmission/automatic/model/celica/make/toyota/postcode/w51pt/radius/1501/page/1/sort/priceasc/advert-type/featured-listing/dealer/344961?logcode=flp - £795 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201118386081651/sort/priceasc/usedcars/price-to/1000/transmission/automatic/model/celica/make/toyota/postcode/w51pt/radius/1501/page/1?logcode=p - £850 (and gorgeous!) Whatever it is that's wrong I hope it gets better and you can stick with your manual But if not...don't worry about it, loadsa good auto boxed Celicas about, was tempted myself due to my commute being stop-start all the way to work...but couldn't live without the fun of gears Also, if you stick details of yours up like age, mileage and service history...we can help you get a realistic idea on value for you!
