Time to sell... :( - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Well...

After much debate I have decided. I am going to sell the "Toy Cam" and my corolla GTS.

I am going to be buying an S2000. I haven't been around the forums for a while but, I am sure some of you TN & SC3 veterans know me. I've been modding my camry for 5 years now.

I need some help on determining it's "value". I am not looking to make a lot of money on it, I just want to sell it to someone who will take care of it and enjoy it as much as I have. What do you think I could sell it for? Or... if you want it. make an offer.

Here are some of the specs:

- 1996 5s-fe 115,000 miles gen 3.5
- Custom Paint
- Molded side skirts and back bumper
- Precisely fitted front bumper (looks molded)
- Molded rubber door protecting on doors (ugly rubber thingy)
- Molded roof antena
- VIS Carbon Fiber Hood
- 18" niche flash wheels (just hit a pot hole and one is leaking now *&%$#@!) haven't
checked it out yet. Center caps are not on in the picture.
- Custom Stereo Install 2 12's and amps infinity kappa 3-way mids
- tv on dash
- leather seats
- cold a/c
- runs great
- turns heads
- wins trophies

Thanks for the

pics to come of the custom corolla GTS

damn thats nice. oh well you are buying an S2000, i wouldnt be too sad!

Rapeacivic · 04-13-2005, 03:20 AM

Wow, it's sad to see that must people are giving up on their Camry's and selling them, although after riding in a STI I've been thinking about it also.

Nice ride, hopefully it goes to somebody that'll take care of it. I'm also selling my Camry right now in hopes of buying a '92 Honda Prelude SI with 4WS. Hopefully it doesn't sell by the time I sell my car.

sorry to hear you are parting ways with your camry. Me, I don't think I could, after all I owe nothing on it, total toy car at this point anyways, and it isn't my daily driver. good luck with the s2000

CamryMan96 · 04-13-2005, 08:17 AM

Thanks for the replies! I never thought that I could part ways with the camry and still don't. But, I live in florida and I don't think I would miss the camry if I am driving around in a convertable at the beach. I was never a huge fan of honda's either. Something about the S2K does it for me though...

Anyhow, anyone have an idea of what I could ask pricewise for the car? It is really hard for me to put a price on a car that has so much sentimental value. Like I said before, I'm not looking to make a lot of money on it.

9 grand... wow thats a lot.

its a hot car... but no performance mods.

realistically, 6-7 grand is a good area. keep in mind, most people dont care that it is all custom paint and body kit and wheels, they care that it is still a camry after that. AND a slow camry at that...

yeah i agree about 7 grand.

its really shame to see it go, it was one of my insperations that brought me to the camry side...

***Knailgun*** · 04-13-2005, 10:18 AM

I agree, 7 grand on the high end, but a good score for a kid....who would probably be your target buyers

really!? thanks dude. means a lot.

This car is by no means fast. Never said it was. It looks really cool going slow anyhow. Turns heads every place I go.

I think I could gel with $6500. Seems fair to me. I will sell it for that. Anyone want it before I start listing it? I will probably list it for $7500 and come down to $6500. AutoTrader here I come. lol.

Leon,
You and I are on the same boat. Getting to the point of moving on. Let us know how your new car is. Take care. See you around.
