Hi all,

first time to post a thread in this forum and is about saying good bye to my beloved "Celica"

Objective:

To seek advice or suggestion to maximise the selling value rather than giving it away to wrecko for $300 only.

Background Info:

I have been in a car crash few wks ago, got hit from the back and was pushed into the car in front of me on M5 ( i have fully stopped).

After assessment the hitter's insurance company would pay out my car, deregister my rego but let me keep it, as the back bumper was a bit crumbled and repair cost is way higher than buying it out.

Vehicle Info:

1993 Toyota Celica WRC Trophy - Auto - Lift back

Colour - Red

Odometer - less than 150,000km (but getting there as im still driving it before they de-register it)

Engine Condition - Good ( I have get the mechnics to clean it fully since i bought it last year)

Radiator - Recently Changed (Cooper Radiator, changed in late April)

Stereo - KENWOOD CD/Mp3/iPOD connectivity ready(USB device supported)

I have also purchased a pair of sun-visor from UK as the previous one is broken (rust out)

- All in all, i have taken 120% care and replace with good quality items when there is issues..

however planning is never beating surprise, such as an accident that I am not at fault.

- Any suggestion or advice that I can sell the car at a higher price than wrecko will be highly appreciated.

you will get more than $300 if you part it out... Engine alone could be sold for that *if* its in VGC.

If you don't mind getting your hand dirty, and still having the vehicle at your house, parting out will be the best way to go.

Engine is in VGC..

Unfortunately I am living in an apartment so fully parting it out is impossible..

Thanks for the suggestion anyway :)

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      I bought my 2006 ATX Aurion back in 2015/2016 with 160,000 KMs on the odometer. 8 years and 100,000+ KMs later, still going strong. I do a lot of preventative maintenance with regular engine oil changes. Transmission fluid has been changed and also the coolant. In that time period, I have replaced the water pump, alternator and both front and rear struts/shock absorbers. In hindsight, I have replaced brake pads much sooner than needed. Overall, future maintenance should not be expensive.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi Reece, I've been trying to reply to this post, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me. On one of my morning walks, with my dogs, there is a Hi Lux tub sitting on the nature strip. I know nothing about it, except that I think the owner could well sell it, but hasn't. I will attach a photo for you, and if you are interested I will email you the address, if you PM me with it. Note that it is in Geelong, Victoria, maybe a good reason to visit. . Herb

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Fitting on the headlight bulb appears to be the usual twist to release and lock. Definitely do not try to brute force the removal because you will definitely break something like the headlight housing. Suggest that you use some WD-40 and have a real good look at the existing bulb using a mirror and a good light source. Then have a few wiggles attempts to loosen the existing bulb so it can then be removed. If this does not work, then time to be smart and not stubborn. Far better to pay a $15 fitting fee than the exorbitant cost to replace a damaged headlight assembly.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!
