The typical 2002 Celica sells for around $11,000 in the Canadian market right now. Most live listings sit between $9,899 and $13,900, so that band is your reality check. See a clean one under $10,000 and it's worth a closer look. See one pushing past $14,000 and the seller needs to justify why.
The median example has about 156,738 km on it. That's the mileage baseline for this year, so read every asking price against it. A car well under that number with a $11,000 tag is priced fairly. A car well over it at the same price is not, and that's your opening to negotiate.
What to actually pay
Treat $9,899 as the floor for a car in decent shape. Anything at or below it, assuming the condition checks out, is the strong end of the deal spectrum here. The upper $13,900 mark is what a low-kilometre, well-kept example commands, and you'd want to confirm the history backs it up before going there.
Two cars this year got flagged as deals over the last 90 days. On a model this age, deals surface unevenly, so if one lands inside that $9,899 to $11,000 window with reasonable kilometres, don't sit on it too long.
