What could i trade my car for?

brettles84@reddit

why would you want to trade a gt4 for anything?!?!?!

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

I dunno just somethin i bought. Doesnt really feel like a forever car

[-]

brettles84@reddit

its already an amazingly collectible car.
the 90s rally era cars arent going to appreciate to 100s of thousands of dollars, but you will regret selling it for the rest of your life

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

Maybe. Its a fair bit of fun to drive but its a rather complicated car. Lots going on and expensive to fix. I dont mind it but a mid range hp rwd car would be fun

[-]

brettles84@reddit

i can understand that.
is it the type of thing you can hold on to for later in life?

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

Yeah i realistically i could hold onto it forever. I was bored one day so i started looking for a car and bought this as a guy had it cheap. Kinda a impulse buy

[-]

brettles84@reddit

its a great impulse buy.
if it were me, i would hold onto it, but its not my car or money or space.
but we had these available in australia and they used to be everywhere, but i never see them now

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

Eh space or money isnt the problem. Just wondering what i could get for it. Always wanted a r32 or a rx7 or something cool like that

[-]

they are both amazing options.
r32 is awd too.
but all these cars are from the 276hp limit era in japan, so the big power stuff only comes from the aftermarket.
if you go back to reviews of the mk iv supra in that era they talk about how slow and boring it is, but now everyone is desperate for it.

you might need to look further into it.
if youre chasing something with more power, but you are disappointed by the celicas awd and complexity, youll likely be disappointed that the r32 is awd and the rx7 is complex.

Kidiotic@reddit

Trade it for me

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

What for?

[-]

ItsGizzman@reddit

I think they’re saying they are willing to trade themselves for the car.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

I dont need people plus its illegal now

[-]

Only if you're caught!

invol713@reddit

My steak is too juicy. My lobster is too buttery. There are a lot of people who would love to have an ST205. Me included.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

I paid 11500$ canadian. 8360 usd. It wasnt super expensive you could have a st205

[-]

Fit-Presentation-778@reddit

Dude I wish we got these in the states. I was always jealous that Japan and Canada had them.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

Canada didnt have the st205 they had the older gen all tracs though

[-]

foxfoxfoxfoxfoxes@reddit

stop trolling the car is already perfect

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

Im just pondering. I want a higher hp rwd car. I own a ae86 and a s12 but they are gutless. If i could trade this for a rx7 i feel like i could enjoy that much more.

[-]

booniebrew@reddit

The fun part of an RX7 isn't the power, it's the handling. Yes you'll have a lot more power than the AE86 and S12, but it's still a lightweight RWD car where the engine it's there to keep speed up through corners rather than an acceleration monster.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

Yes but rx7s are also very lightweight. Thats why i want one. I love small cars with small motors. The gt4 is kinda heavy

[-]

booniebrew@reddit

If that's what you like it's fine, just don't expect a huge difference from your other RWD cars once you're up to speed and carving corners. I have an FC RX7 and a VB WRX and appreciate how different they handle while being similarly quick through corners. If you're considering an FD make sure you know what you're getting into, they're very complex and need a ton of maintenance beyond the usual apex seals jokes.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

I honestly think a fd would be about the same as owning the gt4. Both very complex cars and require regular and expensive maintence. Though both are gonna be less work than the stupid 86 i bought

[-]

Brewtown@reddit

LOL all 275 screaming HP out of that rotary. Have fun replacing apex seals. It sucks.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

A s12 is 100hp flat and a ae86 is 112. The gt4 is 255 which is fun but awd. I dont want a super fast car just a fun car. The front suspension on a gt4 costs more than i could rebuild a rx7 motor for

[-]

Guac_in_my_rarri@reddit

Sure, rebuild a rotary for that price, but the rest of the car? Good luck. Fd is already expensive, FC is getting there, idk where the fuck FB's are sitting price wise, except for being ancient and made of paper.

Your 40k fd, is another 30k to get running is another 20k to get nice. Wholey exaggerated pricing but ya catch my drift... I was just looking at FD's here in the states: rollers for 5-13k usd depending on how much is on the roller.

Idk how it in in Canada.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

I mean thats every jdm car. Ae86 parts cost a arm and a leg. Gt4 parts are like 2x as bad as that. Rx7fd was at least sold here. The 6th gen gt4 was not so all parts come from europe or japan + im the only one in my city with a running gt4 right now.

Taco_Nights@reddit

There is not a week that goes by that I don't regret selling my '88 AllTrac Celica. Over 20 years ago, and I had zero idea about how special it was.

[-]

driftsc@reddit

I regret not buying an 88 for 3500 from a guy who was tired of driving stick.

[-]

Taco_Nights@reddit

I purchased mine for $1800. Needed a new engine and it had been sitting for a year. The guy's wife just wanted it gone. I called up one of the very few places at the time doing JDM engine imports, and snagged a Japanese engine for it.

One thing I recall is those gearboxes are absolutely the heaviest box I've dealt with. Hell, I still have all of the factory service manuals around the house somewhere.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

Hm. Alltrac canadian car. Id like my celica alot more if it was lhd instead of rhd. But i quite like the older celicas

[-]

SumScrewz@reddit

Dude perfect winter car if i see one myself oh lord.

my friend had one back in the day, the previous owner was winter rallying it.

Always had a soft spot for those ever since

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

I dont have winter tires for this so i drive my rsx since its my normal daily

[-]

SumScrewz@reddit

If buying winter tire is the only thing stopping you, get a damn set of tires!

Here we have ice racing on lakes too, might be worth making it a ice track race car.

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

Yeah there is also ice racing on lakes here to. But tires are expensive. And id also have to buy a set of 5x100 rims

[-]

SumScrewz@reddit

Man youre rage baiting for sure, Its easy enough if you want it.

Sell the god damn thing then lol

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

I am not rage baiting. Its hard to explain. I hardly drive this car in the rain. This photo today was litterally the first time. I just cant imagine driving it in snow. Plus for some reason i hate buying tires and rims. Offsets make no sense to me and tires cost to damn much. And to top it off i hate selling cars. I only really trade them because i need something to fill the hole where that car was

int0xic@reddit

Depends where you are. If you're in California, it's kinda hard to sell jdm cars for what they're worth tbh. If you look up skylines or JZXs, they've been posted for sale a long time. Of course that means the price is too high but people are just selling them for what they bought for and other people don't want to pay that. Plus the whole thing with it being hard to California register the car and it sketches potential buyers out. Or maybe you'll get lucky and sell/trade it I dunno.

2014 WRX? 👀

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

I think people would murder me but i am kinda interested

[-]

pitchingataint@reddit

My wife would kill me bc I’m really looking for cash but I’d trade in a heartbeat. Title for title.

[-]

DoloSteadyCruising@reddit

My cousin would buy this over my DSM.. So, I'd say keep it man 😂 fr fr

[-]

fakeryz@reddit (OP)

When i was thinking about buying a car it was a gt4 eclipse gsx or a 95 2dr subi. Celica showed up first

[-]

DoloSteadyCruising@reddit

All solid choices to have fun in, in my mind. I'm not familiar with sitting behind the wheel of the Celica platform, but videos prove those things can reap havoc when built right. But I suppose it's all subjective at the end of the day. Best of luck with trade friend!
