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.. |

I think the GT over in Japan and Europe used the 3S-GE instead of the 5S-FE like in North America and Australia, though I'd imagine head gasket material may've been the same across the board.
