Lurking Options

[Skinerp89]

Hey community of the 6GC, I'm Jc, a new member to the forums but I've been browsing this forum ever since I first saw one of these beasts, even if it was just a ST. I work at a pizza joint and one of the delivery drivers had it, and it steadily grew on me. So now I've just been searching craigslist and autotrader and every car website possible trying to find a celica to call my own. Unfortunately this car is super impossible to find lol until today.

Just look for the basic stuff: body damage, engine, trunk (look under the paneling and carpet for rust), interior, under carriage, door jams. Look for leaks, ask about maintenance, mainly if the timing belt and water pump have been changed, if they haven't you could be asking for trouble. Also try to get the vin and get it Carfax'd.

EDIT: I found this quote funny - "It just passed emissions today, which means the engine is in perfect condition." It doesn't take much to get a 4 cylinder to pass emissions.
