Common questions
How much does a Toyota Celica Convertible cost?

What is a 1990 Toyota Celica Convertible worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $10,100. That sits above the $3,500 median of actual sales because the median counts every car that sold, including high-mileage examples, while the estimate describes a clean, low-mileage one bought today. We rate confidence medium: 3 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.

The fourth-generation Celica convertible represents Toyota's brief flirtation with open-top sports cars during the height of the convertible craze. Built exclusively at ASC (American Sunroof Corporation) in Michigan, these cars featured a power soft top and additional structural reinforcement to compensate for the lost roof rigidity. The ST162 platform delivered 130hp from the naturally aspirated 2.2-liter 5S-FE four-cylinder, paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. Production was limited to just four model years, making these increasingly rare finds today. While lacking the All-Trac's turbo punch or the coupe's structural integrity, the convertible offers a unique ownership experience in the Celica lineage. Clean examples are becoming harder to find as many suffered from typical convertible maladies—worn tops, water damage, and deferred maintenance. For Celica completists or '90s Japanese convertible enthusiasts, these represent an affordable entry point with genuine rarity.
