				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!

			 Lucky lucky me stumbled on this Celica today on craigslist: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/cto/3931086124.html I will call the fella tomorrow. Does this seem too good to be true? Not sure if it's the photos/water on car/clear peeling on the bonnet and rear. Interior is a little rough, but all that is the fun of repairing the car to her former glory I would use those, and any other point you can pick to lower the price a bit Make sure you test drive it well though, and inspect everything you physically can prior to even offering a price, if you pick anything use it to lower the price When buying any car, just be patient and the right one WILL come up eventually -------------------- ![]() ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------  |
