Hey all, I am really interested in gettin a 6thgen celica, in fact i have been for a while and can now finally afford it!

Now I am lookin' to find it and have a couple questions, and I would really appreciate it if i could get some help on them!

1) common probs with 6thgens i should be ready for when i purchase the car.

2) Common probs I should be lookin for specifically buying it used from a dealer.

And any other input is great too!

Again I am new to the boards and well met to everyone!

when buying a used car from a dealer and ask if the car has been in an accident/ modifications.. if it has not be in any accidents the body line will be perfect. like gap from the hood to the fender will be equal on boths sided.. over spray?... look into each wheel well and see if there was rubbing, which is a sign of a car being lowered.. stuff like that..

look into the exhuast pipe and see if there is build up on the tip. go inside the car and see if there are any smells that are not normal..

there is more to check, but i dont want to type a report on your thread.
