It's a '97 Toyota Celica for $7,000 with 8,00 miles on it

Answer 1

I wouldn't say it's a good deal, but you can never really tell until you go see the car. Ads can sometimes be very misleading. Because it's a convertible makes it worth more money, but consider what you want the car for... Pleasure? Work vehicle? It's gonna hit 100,000 miles before you know it and thats when mechanical problems are gonna start piling up. Also, it's a manual transmission. Make sure you know how to drive a stick.

Answer 2

I would not pay anymore than $4,500.00 To $5,000.00 tops.
This is a used car and what I would say is too high mileage for what they are asking for it. See if you can talk them down to no more than the quote I give you and if not I'd say walk away from it. You must always when buying a used car its buyer beware, they are only offering you a 30 day warranty, that is not much, be care full see if you can dicker them down, they always allow room for this. Good luck

Answer 3

You never know till you check it out. I sold a Mustang GT convertible with 4K miles and it was 4 years old. So who knows?

Answer 4

the ad says 85000 miles. and its an average deal. its not a highly sought after car.

Answer 5

thats kind of expensive for a used celica you could get a turbo mr2 for that

Answer 6

yess, go to an auction get the same car for less than 3000

Answer 7

Gowww.kbb.com and enter the specs and it will tell you. I just checked for you and it's around $6000.00 depending on what condition it is in.
