I'm getting my first car, i want a toyota but i was wondering is a 2000 celica worth it, or should i just get a camry like my mom has. the celica looks nice in my opinion but other than that what are the opinions about it

the car is a 2000 celica gts
94000 miles.
asking price 8500...what should i offer? anyh ideas

What exactly are you looking for in a car? Reliability? Speed?

and have you SEEN the latest camrys? they look like freaking sex on wheels. like the sticky posted @the top of the boards... when asking what car you should get, ALWAYS think about what you plan to use it for. what's the point of getting a daihatsu copen if you want to set land records? or vice versa, why get a bugatti veyron when you want the best MPG daily driver?

And that's why, you have to get extreme with a Celica. There's a 10 sec AWD converted Celica.

i drive a 2000 celica gt-s right now. its not a bad car but not the best either. its good on fuel and fun to drive. If your looking for a quiet, smooth car, stick with the camry. The best model would be the 00-01 GT-S 6 speed, because it has the 8400RPM cut-off unlike 02+ which has 7800RPM cut off. but if you dont care about performance, any will do. And yeah you can make the celica look very nice smile.gif You can find more info at www.newcelica.org

Celicas do have a reputation as being a chick car, but who cares? If you like it, then its all good. I have an Integra and that has somewhat of a chick car reputation but it is sporty and has decent gas mileage.

If you care what other people think, especially your friends, then go for something in the lines of a nicely equipped Camry. Something sportier looking? Solara.

8500 isnt that bad of a price., you might be able to go lower..it does have a lot of miles on it. and before you actually go and buy the car, test drive it first. goodluck!

if you have the money, newer camry.
the celica will probably be more fun to drive though.
Thats a lot of miles also.

i drive an '01 celica.
its pretty fun driving it. good gas mileage, good handling.
down side - its a pretty compact car, so if youre going to have passengers, might be a bit uncomfortable for them, esp guys since they tend to be bigger/taller. i have no problem bcos im only 5'1" tongue.gif.
its a pretty good "first car"..but since ive had it for 5+ years, its time for me to move on & upgrade my ride happy.gif

Huh? I don't understand. Why is a Celica loud? Are you talking about the road noise?

my friend has a celica, man whenever i use to ride with him and our friends to get lunch, i always get stuck in the back. the back is really compact, hence I used the term "use" to ride with him.



on a random topic, hey zigen, where did you get that cartoonish pic of your car? i want one
