Angus Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 "I am having sell my totyota celica quickly, due to my new baby making an earlier than expected arrival." Part of this sentence may not be true. Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Red Celica Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 But it is a 53 plate so it should not be the death rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of this sentence may not be true. Angus It's not a "totyota"? Also, all Celicas are cheap these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsmith79 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 The death rattle can happen to any engine if it has been starved of oil, it's just the preface VVTi engine has the problem of burning oil, but there are many other causes of running low on oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen6GT Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 But it is a 53 plate so it should not be the death rattle. And it's done 140,000 miles, wouldn't the death rattle have become apparent long before it reached this sort of mileage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam 190 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Also, all Celicas are cheap these days. So whats your idea of cheap??...Gen 7's mostly range from £2000 - £8000... The latter for GT... I wouldnt call that cheap...Thought Gen6 GT4's went for few thousand too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt call that cheap...Thought Gen6 GT4's went for few thousand too... I would've bought a gen 7, were it not for the fact I really don't like them. GT4s are cheap enough to buy but not to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstring Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Show me a car that has not dropped quite a bit? Not just celica's, see some silly prices about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam 190 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 still cheap tho mate, i mean £2-8k for a gen 7 when they was what about £17-20k new where they not? How much they was is irrelevant really... He said all celicas are cheap to buy...I wouldnt call £2000 - £8000 cheap at all... You think thats cheap?... Cheap to buy, not necessarily cheap to own. Yes i know you meant to buy...but I just dont think that price range is cheap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think thats cheap?... for a car that was £20k not 5 years ago, £8k is very cheap mate, that car has lost £12 in 5 years, in another 5 years the seller should be giving you £4k to take it if kept depreciating like that Edited May 23, 2011 by Dan23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
