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!!!!

Uh it was actually pretty easy for me to find my ST. I just used the classifieds. Its kind of sketchy though, I have a lot of questions as to the car's origins. I am not quite sure if its a real Canadian car or not. It has the gauge cluster and the running lights, however it also has no airbags (or rather I am unsure it has airbags... Every other 6th gen owner has a different steering wheel than I do ). It could very well be salvaged. Regardless, if you're looking for a ST I'm sure you can probably find one for pretty cheap (mine was $2400 cert), it just might take a lot of resources.

I should maybe run a check on the VIN Number of my car and see where she's been.
