Gen 6 Celica. Buy it or not? IMPORTANT ! Options

[razor]

Hi
I am about to buy a gen 6 celica here in Romania. But I am not sure if I should do this.

I could find only one gen 6 celica for sale here (and I was looking for 2 months) so I don't have where to choose from. The car is a 1.8, 115HP.(7A-FE engine).

Problem is that this celica has 250 000 km, the engine was changed. Car looks fine, the engine is ok.

I am afraid that these cars being so rare here in Romania it will cost me too much to upkeep. I mean if something will brake down I will have to import the broken part from Europe, this will get a little expensive.

I can not import one from europe because it does not have EURO 3 or 4 emission standard.



What do you think? Should I buy this one or just go for something that I can find on every street (like VW Golf for example)?
This is my dream car.

Can you give me some online shops where I can find stuff for Celica?

Please tell me what is the fuel consumption for a Celica with 7A-FE engine(1.8 115HP). But tell me from your experience, not what is written in the manual.

What other Toyotas have the 7A-FE engine(any corolla or something?)?


Sorry for bad english!
Feel free to comment.
Thanks

man, i wish i could offer u some good advise other then if u can afford the car and the upkeep, then get it, specially if it's your dream car. The gas consumption is really good on the 7A something like 27+ highway 23+ city driving and the 7A also came in alot of corolla's. I had a 7a celica auto, and i loved the car...never had a problem with her in the two years i had her. only reason i sold it was because she was auto. just gotta love the 5spd......i do want to point out that there is alot of information on this car/engine here on the forum. check the stickies and do some basic searching here. you can find all the information you need
