Dtracer Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Good ladies and gentlemen of CCUK some advice please. Put my beloved celica up for sale and had zero interest, know is it the price that's wrong, is it the advert or is it my location in the middle of nowhere that's putting people off? Need to move it pretty sharpish and thought I was pricing to sell, I thought it was pretty reasonable but perhaps not. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.php?/classifieds/item/489-toyota-celica-t-sport-2003/ http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/celica/toyota-celica-mk7-t-sport-vvtli-2003/868842 Edited October 27, 2012 by Dtracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 In stock form worth £3000 Id say, think you could recover £400+ for exhaust and brakes - might get a bi more interest as well as would appeal to a wider market (esp exhaust) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtracer Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Yeah I thought about that, perhaps strip it back to stock, a lot of its already been done. the brakes are easy enough to return to stock but its the time to do it i just don't have at the min so I left em for now. Seems a shame to remove the one thing that really make the single biggest improvement to the Gen 7 and put the spongy standard brakes but I guess mr or mrs. Wanna be Celica owner might not know that. Perhaps have to consider taking the time to pull them off. Exhaust is easy enough, any one want a very rare and beautiful sounding 5zigen exhaust?

Bassline Toad Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 It's a great advert, and is very informative. As Ams said, people generally prefer a car without modifications (As I've found), so strip the mods out, sell them on and you should be onto a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 when I sold my other red 7 - left a lot of bits on (TTE exhaust/ koni suspension/ strut brace) - sold it for same price as a stock one - and the girl who bought it - she wasnt bothered about any of them (apart from the wheels) - wish id taken them off - but then again its time as well, strut could have come off easily though.

johnyboy1976 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Looney is after a exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtracer Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I suppose I did know it would be more appealing standard just a shame, suppose i'll have to bite the bullet and strip it. Wonder if I just put some more standard bias pads in the Wilwoods that'd help, make it more road driver friendly, get rid of the squeal when cold. Can you feel the resistance to removing the kit :-) it's just so damn good it's hard to return them to the spongy, lifeless, zero feel standardness argggghh horrible. :-) Looney is after a exhaust Exhaust is nice and easy to change, have no problem with doing that. I might PM him. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtracer Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Its a hard time of year to sell,esp coming up to xmas.. Yep suppose that's also true, not the natural time of year to thinking of buying a sports coupe is it, early spring would be more apt. Shame I have to sell now.....

arizona Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 This was also my first thought If thinking of buying a nicer car, but winter weather on its way reckon 80% would leave it til spring - i know i would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
