Woodbridge, Virginia

I am selling my former project car and daily driver. This is a 1992 Toyota Celica convertible and it has about 160,000 miles on it. I am the third owner, and probably the only owner who has bothered to take care of the car. It has a manual transmission, power everything, CD/Tape, and the driver seat has adjustable power lumbar and side-bolster support.I bought it in 2004 and drove it for years before having a second kid and so it's been sitting for most of the last 2 years. I started it every couple of months just to make sure it still ran. This was about the same until a few weeks ago when I tried to start it. It still runs, but the engine makes a knocking noise under heavy acceleration and there's a lot of oil around the seals at the top, so my guess is that it's on its way out. It can still be driven, but neither very quickly nor under heavy loads.I have to reiterate: The engine needs major work or a replacement. This will be a project or parts car, even though it technically still runs. I would not recommend driving it far, but it would be a fun project car. You could probably drive it back to your house if you live about 20 miles away, but I would recommend having a friend follow you in a more reliable car, just in case. That being said, if you plan on replacing the engine, count on about $2000 if you have a shop do it, maybe $500-800 if you do it yourself, and then you've got yourself a running, fun-to-drive, convertible for between $2-3K.The handling is great, the tires still have plenty of tread, the sound system is nice, and the A/C actually blows cold. The convertible top works, but there's a small hole near the top of the clear plastic window where it meets the canvas (one of the pictures shows this). I upgraded the mirrors to the power-folding variety, which means when you push a button, they fold toward the body of the car. It's pretty awesome.The paint has seen better days and the cruise control hasn't worked for years. The car was hit on the driver side before I owned it (1999 according to the carfax) and there is some body damage behind the driver side door because of this (see photos for closeup). The damage doesn't look great, but it also hasn't gotten worse since I've owned it. The interior is fair, but dirty. It would look decent with a good cleaning. It used to be a lot of fun, and probably still could be, but like I said, the motor's going to need work and I don't have the time or resources anymore. I'm asking $800 or best reasonable offer. Title is good and in hand.I think I've covered everything, but if you have questions, please ask me.
