whats up again everybody... i was just informed of a celica 5th gen for sale (DIRT ASS CHEAP $200 because he's a friend and wants to get rid of it) at my friends neighbor's house. it has 112k on it but needs some head work
 i havent seen it yet, but i trust my friends word, he says there is nothign wrong with the body except for a small dent im thinking im going to either 1. buy the car and have it fixed or and sell it (OR 2. buy it fix it keep it as a beater. 3. buy the whole car and slam the engine in my 94 st automatic what do you guys think? need some advice..dr tweak??? what do u think?

1 or 2. 3 doesnt seem worth it in my opinion to throw a 112k engine in your car. id say fix it and sell it, use the extra money on the 6.

^^^ agreed. 1 or 2 seems to be the better choice. If it was me I would keep it as a beater but fix it up slightly (restor it, not rice it) and mabey drive around with a for sale sign up and see what offers you get. If someone offers something good then go for it, if no one does then you got something to drive while you work on the ol 6gc

definately check that car/engine out cuz im pretty sure the usdm 5th gen celis never came with the 3sge. maybe he had it swapped in?
 bboy edit: if its got the 5sfe engine i say keep and turn it into ur beater and if its got the 3sge then fix it up and drop it into ur 6th...$200 for an engine aint bad!
