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.

Well, In my experience, don't give 'em more than $500 cash if it's totaled and wont start / doesn't run

I don't know what the going rate is on a working Celica However i say that you listen to that engine really well. Make sure the engine doesn't squeak or squeal, make sure the alignment is good. Those parts can cost you really quick. Drive the car and let go of the wheel, if it veers or vibrates, start asking questions!

Also, as soon as you get it, change the oil, belts, spark-plugs, and fuel filters. These are cheap things that (because you just got the car, and don't know what has happened to it in the past) can dramatically extend the life of the engine, and freshen it up for you as well Also, a Car-Wash, Freshner, re-inflate the tires to proper levels, and run that take of gas untill it's burnin on fumes. You NEVER know what kind of things people have done. It's best to rid it of anything that can cause future harm.

G/L and Congrats. Start saving money for a Turbo-project
