So I got to work today, was browsing Craig's List, and came across a '95 Celica with a salvage title for sale. I was out of work on my way home and then to Seattle within minutes. Three hours later, I was the owner of this:
Yeah, it's pretty beat up, and purple, and a slushbox, and the tranny makes lots of noise at idle, but I'm very happy with it. Drove it three hours home with no problems at all, despite being told it has a blown head gasket. The car has 114,000 miles and the engine and tranny both feel strong and smooth. Whaddaya guys think? I don't think it's too bad for $350. ![]()

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm liking the car even more...I just pulled off the seat covers to find perfect cloth tan seats(minor stains on passenger side, but I think they'll come out.)

The first thing I need to do to this car is to take it somewhere reputable and have them look over the frame. The car doesn't ride well once it hits rough pavement or bumps at all, and the wheel has to be held to one side to go straight, but maybe it's just an alignment issue. ![]() -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
