Lurking Options

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.

Drive it w/the windows down on a quiet street so you can listen to how it sounds when you accelerate, cruise, and stop. Make sure you drive it until the engine is to temp, and when your done, pop the hood and listen for any weird sounds, smell for any weird smells too. Look at the hoses and belts, make sure they look good and not cracking or splitting or shiny belts. Make sure you start the engine itself too... LOL when I bought my car, I looked at it like 2 or 3 times and never realized each time I met up w/the kid, the engine was already running. That's because the starter was dying and the little bastard knew it but didn't tell me. Starter on it died like 3 days later!
