88 Toyota Corolla GTS - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Okay so ive got the opportunity to get a hold of a 88 GTS and it has no title and a bad fuel pump so there's not a lot i could do with it

But what i was wanting to know is how hard would it be to make money off of the car parting it out if i pay $400 to 550 which is what he listed the car at

i live in Oklahoma City area and would also have to pay for a trailer to tow the car back

i would love to be able to save this car but i know that its just not going to be able to help the only way i could keep it on the road is if i got a hold of a sr5 with a clean title because im not gonna go threw the hassle involved with filling for a lost title and the idea of putting everything on an sr5 is a real long shot because im super tight on money and i only know of one and the area and it gets driven daily so i dont think he would even think about selling it

i really just wanna get some parts off the car that i want to put on my sedan and then get rid of the rest and help some people out along the way and at least break even

the big parts that i would keep for sure would be the engine and transmission, front sway bar assembly, and possibly the rear wing i just dont want a great looking ae92 coupe to go to the junkers

if you do part it out I need some parts

Whether i get it or not its not getting parted out i talked to the guy earlier and it turns out that he already has all the paperwork done to get the title issued so if i get it im gonna replace the fuel pump and it will be my new daily driver

Try Toyzunlimited.com

I know they have a couple of SR-5s and I am sure that at least one has a good dash.
I was going to get that but they recommended I get a dash cap, which I did.

Dash cap cost me $100.
