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!

One major problem at least with the 5S-FE and the 3S-GE are the valves making a lot of noise if the car had a previous driver who never warmed up the car. You know the kind of people who turn the key and back up within 1/2 a second of each other? These cars don't get oil to the top of the engine fast enough - especially if not using a check valve equipped oil filter.
You will definetly hear this with the hood open and the engine running.
Good luck.
By the way why does your profile list you as an owner of a '96 GT-Four if you are just now looking? Pretty ambitious if ask me - again good luck.
