GTsillycar Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm going to have a look at this GT4 tomorrow. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201149434220251/sort/locasc/usedcars/price-to/3000/model/celica/make/toyota/page/2/radius/100/postcode/bn162gw/quicksearch/true?logcode=p I have a feeling i saw the car a fair few months back on ebay, can anyone confirm that and if known the purchase price as it may assist me in the haggle Alternatively does anyone know this car fo any other reason? Any and all info would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyboy1976 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Unsure - but at some stage its had AT200 seats put in as that trim was never used in the GT4's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briano Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 only thing odd i can see is it has the interior from an ST, nasty seats my bet is it probably is an ST and someone has flung the GT4 body kit on it Unsure - but at some stage its had AT200 seats put in as that trim was never used in the GT4's ouch I dont get beaten often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsillycar Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I certainly hope it is a real GT4, number plate doesn't come up on insurance quotes but put that down to it being an import Seats don't really bother me as i'd just be happy to have the power Can always speak to mondo at a later date for some of his custom creations.

Briano Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) M reg makes it 1994 so it would never have had JDM rears also wouldn't have had those skirts something just doesn't look right with the overall stance, cant get a clear enough picture of the wheels to see the callipers nor can you see the clocks but those seats are ST, knob is ST and those door cards are also ST would make it completly raided or an ssi Edited December 29, 2011 by Briano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyboy1976 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 As Briano says you cant see the callipers as they are a big give away as is back end of car as you can see the fuel tank. Look at clocks as will have a boost gauge on them - a unaccurate one though. Could have been a stripped out track car thats had a interior put back in - easiest way is to check the vin plate as that will tell you what it is if you go look at it Ideally take someone who knows these cars as if you buy a bad un you will regret it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsillycar Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm gonna be going alone unfortunatly, i'm pretty good at checking over cars but don't really know the gt4 all that well. Budget is about £1500 on top of my current gen6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyboy1976 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 How much is your 6 worth ?? TBH unless you can swap and add the rest of money id not really look yet. If you want to feel the power of a good GT4 then get a local member to let you drive theirs Thats what i did when MattW was after a 4 - let him drive the wifes yellow one as thats a standard 205 and let him make his mind up. He liked it so went ahead in his search for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Red Celica Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Seats are from a SR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsillycar Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think mine worth at best on a forcourt £1499 I always make naf offers on every car i buy, spent a few years as a car dealer so had to. Usually when buying i would just jump in and think if i don't like it i'll sell it on at a profit and that's worked for years.. Since buying my current car i have fallen for the Celica, i think it's an amazing car for such a small outlay. I am stangely worried about losing mine and getting something i don't like. I did test drive a 205 a few months back but was missing the sunroof and was a little tatty so i walked away. The drive however, left a me needing to get beak into it especially when i drove off in my GT Seats are from a SR. Tbh the fact that bits have been nicked it's for me a bartering tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
