Buying a Celica tips? Options

[KeithL]

Hi all, I'm going to view a 94 st202 2.0 this weekend. I'm new to celicas is there any common issues to look out for?

It's been sitting up for 8 years. So a full service and new fuel would be a good starting point. Anything else before I started it up?

Also inside is a bit damp, do they have any common issues as far as leaking into the cabin?

8 years is a long time. was it sitting outside or garaged? that will make the biggest difference.
but some things to look at would be all the rubber, hoses, seals etc. check for cracks and brittleness. check the radiator, if it looks brown or discolored, it's on it's way out.
take a look at the bottoms of the doors and the hatch for rust. the rear quarter panel behind the tire. if it has a sunroof, check and make sure it's not leaking and the drain plugs aren't clogged.

other than that, yes a full service. drain and replace all fluids and see how well it runs after that.
