6G Celicas Forums

Too much worry buying such an old car I think Ill just buy a 2001 7th generation. It is barely anymore money than a 94 which is ridiculous.

The dealer gave me the vin but it was suppose to be for the body. Perhaps he has the vin of both the body and the engine.

Charging $3700 for it which is the high end of all the websites estimated dealer price for the car if those kms were on the original engine

I got a feeling it's an 86 celica engine. The dealer sounded like he was either guessing or lying. "huh.. oh its a 95 celica engine.. I think.."



Will such an old car require quite a bit of repairs just from its age and mileage?

Also, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me more about what engine this most likely is... is there only a few 2.0Ls that would work on a 94 Celica GT-s?


This is all I could find on the net.. no idea if its this one.. damn thats a big engine if it is the right one. Would prolly suck so much gas!

I am no mechanic, far from it. I like the look and have read reviews on the 6th gen celica and that is why I am interested in buying one.

The car I am looking at is a 1995 GT-S (Canadian) and has 322 000 km on the body and 80 000km on a replaced engine.

In Canada the Celica came in ST(1.8L) and GT(2.2L) models. The engine that was put in is a 2.0L JDM engine that the dealer says is from a '95 celica from Japan. Does this sound right? I mean could this cause problems since it isn't the exact same engine it was built to take?


Also, what repairs should I expect to have to make with a 6gen celica of this age and mileage?



THANKS!

Wow! Great advice thank you! What did it cost you to bring the car here from the states? That is my biggest concern cause I REALLY like the idea (no winter rust, can find a good car and not have to settle like I feel pushed to do with the limited selection in Canada).

I dont want to pay over 6 grand.

I just want a celica ST actually. Cheap MPG and still have that look. It is my first car so money is key.

Does the 15 year rule help me at all if I was to buy a celica ST from the US? I dont know how that works but I hear its very expensive with huge import taxes or duties or both???!?

What do you mean wait til dec? What happens.. cars from Japan are shipped here and sold at normal dealers or special import dealers??


Also, the 96-99 was sold in Canada? I have been scouring the used auto listings and cant find a single celica that is in the 96-99 range but I can find lots both older AND newer then that.

Anyone know someone with a celica for sale in Ontario, Canada? A well taken care of one naturally..

Hello everyone, nice to see a community based around such a sexy car.


I am looking at buying a 94 or 95 celica (in Canada I cannot find any 96 to 99s, I guess they werent released here).

How long do these last (I know how regular it is service plays a factor but how much of a factor?)? What should I be looking for specifically? For example, do they rust in a certain spot more regularly then another?

Is buying a 14 year old car a good idea for someone who will have to do all repairs a the mechanics? (I have neither the time nor the training to repair myself)


I want a 6gen celica cause it looks sweet but Im debating if its worth it with repair costs.. I'm just starting my career and have no throwing around money.

Thanks!!!!
