No Reserve: 25-Years-Owned 1996 Toyota Celica GT Convertible 5-Speed

This 1996 Toyota Celica GT convertible was first sold in Colorado and was acquired by the seller in 1998, and it now shows 62k miles. Powered by a 2.2-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle, the car was refinished in black over replacement black and gray cloth upholstery in 2016. It also features a replacement black soft top, a rear spoiler, 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels, fog lights, front bucket seats, a CD stereo, cruise control, and air conditioning. This Celica GT is offered with November 1998 purchase paperwork, service records, a Carfax report, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.

The car left the factory finished in black (202). The seller states that it was fitted with a replacement soft top in February 2008, while the body was refinished in black in October 2016. Exterior details include a rear spoiler, quadruple round headlights, and fog lights. A September 2020 entry on the Carfax report indicates that the car was involved in an accident, which resulted in damage to the front and rear panels of the car, and the seller notes an additional rear-end collision occurred under current ownership.
