Toyota Celica 6th Gen

The sixth-generation Toyota Celica, sold from 1994 to 1999, replaced the pop-up headlights of its predecessor with a distinctive four-round-headlight design. In North America, it was offered as the ST with a 1.8-liter 7A-FE engine or the more powerful GT with a 2.2-liter 5S-FE. The pinnacle of the lineup was the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive GT-Four (ST205), a homologation special for the World Rally Championship that was sold in very limited numbers in the US.

Collectors are drawn to the T200 Celica for its quintessential 90s styling, Toyota's proven reliability, and its connection to motorsport and video game culture. The GT-Four is the undisputed hero car, but clean GT coupes and convertibles are also gaining traction. Later 1996-1999 models are often preferred for their updated front bumper and projector-style headlights.

The market for the 6th-gen Celica remains approachable. Based on 56 recent sales, the average price is just over $10,000. Most available cars are the affordable ST and GT models, making them great entry points for new collectors. Exceptionally clean, low-mileage examples and the rare GT-Four command the highest prices, reflecting a growing appreciation for 90s Japanese classics.

Prices range from under $1,000 for project cars to over $23,000 for pristine, low-mileage variants.
