Hey guys, i was wondering if i could get some help on a decision i have to make about buying a celica st. The car is in good condition both interior and exterior, and theres 198,000 miles on the car. I drove it today and the engine and transmission felt nice and smooth, the clutch grabs nice and feels smooth so it seems like it wont need to be changed anytime soon. Its an st so it has the 7afe engine. Hes asking $1500. I was just wondering if you guys think its worth it for the mileage the car has on it? How many miles have you guys put on your st's? I dont wanna buy a car then have it die in 20,000 miles. Let me know if you guys think i should buy it! Thanks.

if the body is in as good shape as you say, go for it, the 7afe is a excellent engine when comes to reliability, it does burn oil after a few 100's K miles but as long as you give it the proper maintenance it won't die anytime soon.
