I am the owner of a white 1990 Celica GT. I am the original owner, and I love this car — but it has not been driven since 2002, and as a result, it has a few issues that are beyond what I can afford to repair at this time. When our daughter was born in 2002, we needed a bigger car (with four doors and a larger back seat), so the Celica was unfortunately sidelined. We are now driving a Camry instead. The Celica has never been kept in a garage, and since it has been sitting idle, its rear wheels are locked.
I will post the specs here, and hope to upload photos soon as well. 5-speed manual transmission 4 cyl. 2.2L engine 145,614 miles Liftback w/rear wiper Sunroof Fog lamps CD/cassette stereo Cloth interior - good condition Driver's-side airbag The car has been in minor parking lot accidents; all damage was cosmetic and has been repaired. The airbag has never deployed. I am hoping that someone who truly appreciates Celicas will be interested in giving my baby a new home. It's a good little car that just needs some TLC. If you respond on this forum, I will provide contact information. |

QUOTE (humanoid @ Aug 10 2009, 01:09 AM)  Location? Price? We are in Astoria, IL, which is about an hour southwest of Peoria. I have looked up the configuration on the Kelley Blue Book site and consider the car to be in what they list as "Fair" condition, so I'm starting with around $1,500. |

I finally have some photos ready. This is my first time uploading photos to this forum, so I hope this works. I'll make a separate reply for each photo, so that I can add a caption.
These first two photos are 3-quarter views, one from the driver's side and one from the passenger's side.

These photos show the engine, the engine plaque and the odometer to verify its mileage.

The left front fender is a replacement, and its paint has not held up quite as well as on the rest of the car, unfortunately.

There are a few rust spots here and there … this one is along the bottom of the driver's side door. The view of the door itself shows how the clear-coat is peeling a bit. And the last photo is just to show the sunroof.
I know it looks like I'm showing all my baby's embarrassing features, but I just want to be straight-up on what her flaws are. No surprises. I know I mentioned $1500, but please consider that $1500 OBO. If I can't find a good home for her, she's heading for a junkyard, and I really don't want that!
