Hey guys, first post. Long story short, I have a 2004 BMW 325i that is abysmal on MPG for some reason, no matter what I change, I can barely squeeze 20mpg. I am looking at a 1994 celica Gt hatchback auto, in hopes of getting a cheap reliable commuter car (70% hwy/30%city) that is better on gas than my BMW. My folks have a 1999 camry w/180K miles and absolutely no problems, so I am assuming the internals are similar and experience should be relatively similar? I found one on craigslist listed for 2200, black 1994 hatch w/ 141K miles. Is that a fair deal on these cars? What kind of MPGs are you guys seeing on your GT autos? Thanks!

Hard to tell the price without pics. $2200 is a good price.
I bought my 2nd 6gc 2 1/2 years ago for $2700 at 205k miles. Fixed the oil leak and misc maintenance, it is now at 272k miles. My best mpg was 35 running at 62 mph ave for 460 miles This post has been edited by nics: Jul 10, 2013 - 9:33 PM -------------------- God made man....
