Hello everyone. I need a commuting car to travel 150 mi round trip everyweekend or so. Its a long highway with curves and dips and only about a few miles ever covered by PD(Just a fact not suggesting anything). The obvious choice? Need I say. The only one for sale in my area though has a good 216k miles on it already. It appears to be well maintained but not really sure if I should take the plunge. They're asking $3k its fully loaded, for a stock GT anyway. ABS, sun-roof, cruise-control, and all that. What do you all think? Is it gunna take alot of time and attention to keep it running between Spokane and Pullman or can I rely on it to take me and my daughter for years of happy driving? Let me know your opinion.
BTW, im going to school for aviation maintenence and have little real mechanical background, but i am mechanicly inclined and have no problem getting my hand dirty. |

well, went up to spokane and the celicas in HORRIBLE shape. Paints peeling and chiped, engines leaking oil, inside smells like total ass. Bummer. Theres one with fewer miles in Moses Lake being sold by a private seller. But I cant really get over there to check it out. So, guess ill just have to buy a honda or something gay like that...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

thanks for all the tips. That one in seattle looks good, except its an AT. Found a ride to get over to Soap lake in the near future. Car looks good. Didn't list the miles though so I'll call her first. Looks real clean exept the red, dont like red... but thats all fine. Ill let you know what it looks like. I may yet be the next 6TH Gen CEli owner in WA.
