Buying a 6g, Advice? Options

[Mississauga]

Hello everyone, nice to see a community based around such a sexy car.


I am looking at buying a 94 or 95 celica (in Canada I cannot find any 96 to 99s, I guess they werent released here).

How long do these last (I know how regular it is service plays a factor but how much of a factor?)? What should I be looking for specifically? For example, do they rust in a certain spot more regularly then another?

Is buying a 14 year old car a good idea for someone who will have to do all repairs a the mechanics? (I have neither the time nor the training to repair myself)


I want a 6gen celica cause it looks sweet but Im debating if its worth it with repair costs.. I'm just starting my career and have no throwing around money.

Thanks!!!!

The 15 year rule only applys if you wanted to legally import the top of the line (factory) Celica, the GT-4. But if you just want an ST, you should be able to find one there in Canada fairly easily, though they were only sold up until 97' (I think Canadas the same as the US on that one).
