vvtirob Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 The S looks like it's been cut from this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R-S-BADGE-CHROME-SELF-ADHESIVE-GREAT-LOOK-NEW-/251080334958?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a758dde6e Do not like the bonnet spoilers... looks ridiculous. The car looks well aside from that, and the weird flares on the front and rear arches... but... saying it's a TRD Celica when it clearly isn't... Also, my insurance company on the new quote section says... Registration: PA05HVL Manufacturer: TOYOTA Model: CELICA VVT-I T SPORT Model Year: 2005 Transmission: Manual Engine Size: 1800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbaranx Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I call mine a TRD t sport because its a t sport with TRD skirts valance and spoiler on. Not because I claim it is a TRD model. The only reason I don't have the TRD front lip or bumper is cost. You are right, this guy has gone a bit far tho, I have tried callin him to express an 'interest' I used to refer to my TRD kitted 190 as a TRD-190 Celica for the same reasons as you but got too much stick for it from my mates so to shut em up u went and bought a real one lol.

DGZ Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It looks like a Porsche boxster S badge to me. That's what I had in mind (had just seen the Boxster S wheeler dealers episode) but now I think it's slightly different. What a loser! People like that piss me off because some person who has no idea of Celica is going to buy that car thinking its a TRD edition. Sellers like that fall into the same group of bellends who advertise 140s as 190s!!! I may of dropped him a message asking how its a TRD edtion when clearly its a Eurospec TSport. Also asked what mods have been done to achieve 210bhp. Waiting a response. When I come to power sellers like this one will be punished and fined for their actions Couldn't agree more, there's also a lagoon blue 140 on AutoTrader at the moment labelled as a T Sport. Even has a VVTi badge, with cloth interior and 16" wheels. Even if its an accident people should be more bloody careful. Lets see if the guy gets back to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booth Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 He did get back to me, he said he took the car in as part ex and the information in the ad was supplied by the prev owner. He now wants me to give him some advice on how to advertise it... Hmm seems my email back fired. I was hoping to get him all riled up not for him to ask for help lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geraintthomas Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I emailed him about it and I had the same reaction too, that he part-ex'ed it and wants advice on how to advertise it. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvtirob Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Okay... so you guys... here's what you do. You email him back, and you say - "There's a young squire on Celica Club that goes by the name of Rob. He's a valiant young chap who would be happy to take this fake TRD Celica off your hands for a grand total of a whole two hundred and fifty thousand Great British pence."

Ok so the guy took it as p/x and was spun a yarn by the previous owner which he took as gospel and now has prob realised his error. Hardly warrants some of the stuff above does it. Now what if someone purchased the car and came on here? Would we kindly inform him about what his car is or rip the piss and say its worth £250?? I think not being the friendliest club an all. I think the car is quite nice just wrongly described by a trader who doesn't know much about Celica's. I think I'm gettin old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, yeah... it really is worth more than mine though! Not sure if it would be worth £2500 though, Glass's Guide on my car says £1275 - £2520, On that one (after I did insurance check) it said £1950-£3160! Lovely car though, I'd pull him right down on the price though because I pick a fault with everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely car though, I'd pull him right down on the price though because I pick a fault with everything! I'd say it is for parts. If they're genuine that is. TRD spoiler - £300. Skirts - £200. Headlight overlays £50. Bonnet spoilers (unsure never seen them for sale). TRD Rear - £300. Sports M Scoop - £150. So could probably pick up £1000 putting it back to standard (if parts are genuine). Then end up with a standard T-Sport with 70,000 on the clock for £2,800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGZ Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Its back up! EBAY Yeah, noticed it yesterday Seriously I'd give him £3,000 if some of the (in my opinion) tackier mods could be removed without damage. Get the boot hole sorted. It's looks like a nice car otherwise! Looks like its already gaining interest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
