I'll tell him to forgive your blackness and I will assure him that you will not try to rob him so he'll give you a good deal. When I bought my Jeep he charged me 10% of the cost of the car which worked out to be about $500. He said that anyone I refer to him he'll cut them a deal on his fee. I believe he said about 5%. Keep in mind there are other fees. Manheim charges a fee, taxes, tags, inspection costs, etc. I can pull out the exact breakdown sheet if you're interested but we ended up winning the car from the auction for $4200. After fees, taxes, tags, inspection, and new front brake pads to pass inspection I was out the door for $5200 or so. I had to spend another $200 on new pads and rotors for the rears a few weeks later. The one side on the rears was all f'ed up. I found out later that when they do car inspections they typically check one side on the fronts and one side on the rears. Let me know if you're interested John I'll get you his contact info and you can at least talk with him about what you're looking for and ask questions.

P.S. I wanted to go with him on a Thursday when they have the exotics day. They have ALL sorts of cars opened with the keys that you can just sit in and start, Lambos, Aston Martins, Ferraris, Bentleys, etc.

 

go for the acura, the other celica is a girl's car like someone here mentiond.

 

The Celica is not a "girls" car. No it is styling is not archaic and crude. Toyota was going for unprecedented sexiness in their styling of the Celica and Supra. It was revolutionary over a decade ago, to the point that the car's design still looks fresh. Unlike the Integra which is definitely dated. The Celica/Supra's rear fenders flair out with a hip like effect, the supple curves...
Ok back on topic. The only physically attractive lines the Integra have the sampled from the Celica. As far as power plants Toyota and Honda were going neck and neck. Honda did over a few more engine choices in the US which helped. But for equivalent models in the US and else where fair competitors.
As for the 7th gen Celica (2000-2005 RIP), they went with more of a chiseled look, no doubt trying to shed some of the "girly" stigmata that had come to plague the previous design. I for one wasn't overly fond of it, but I don't see how it looks more feminine then its RSX and Eclipse counterparts.

 

it is too a girly car , I see a lot of girls driving it. In fact so is most sleak looking cars including mustang, z, rx8, miata, and our car. (but not the s2k because its MT only ). anywho Girls just arnt into cars like we are thats why they arnt in the internet or in our car clubs, but I see tons of girls driving the g, nothing wrong with that. last I check ~49% of the population are female. my point is get over it man, it shouldnt even matter what others think.

 

I leave the topic with some basic information.

damn... that celica all-trac is badass!!!!

 

Indeed. I was looking for a GT-4 when I purchased the Celica I have. I only found one, and it was way over priced and in poor condition.
