Hello,
My son has fallen into the trap of the Celica Gen6 and we are going to look at one soon, its a low mileage (Show Car) 1996 GT, Dry stored for the last 3 years only being driven for shows and to keep everything moving and working well, bills for over £3k in that time, Good MOT history online, full service history? seems to be a much loved motor, owned by a older gent as well.. He wants strong money for it but if its as good as he says then it should last for a good long while.. I have no experience with this car make or model, but I do know my way around a car, is there any specifics that will need to be carefully looked at, and is there anything I need to listen for as well as look for, any advice would be gratefully received.. Thanks, GT.. |

The other comm9n problem with cars from that erra is the headgasket. The original OEM gasket was not metal and was prone to fail. If the headgasket has been replaced at any point in the past you're ok, because the new one is metal.
Otherwise its one of the most reliable motors built in the 90's -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
