Toyota Celica (1971-2004) – 2020 Market Review

Toyota Celica 1971-2004 from our 2020 Japanese Classic & Performance Car Guide

With a couple of exceptions, the Celica range remain undervalued and a prime target for enthusiasts wanting an interesting car that won’t cost much to buy or run. The only versions likely to top $35,000 are 2000 Fastbacks that sold here from 1975-77 and Group A versions of the 1990s GT4 rally rocket.

Going back to 1971 there do still exist well-preserved 1.6-litre cars and most won’t cost more than $25,000. Less than half of that amount buys a good RA40 or RA65 (1978-85) or an outstanding example of the 1986-89 2.0-litre Liftback.

Celica coupes built during the 1990s and beyond remain viable as daily transport and usually cost less than $5000. All-Wheel Drive GT4s are an exception at around $15K.
