Looking to buy a 95 with a replaced engine.. (?), Need your suggestions Options

[Mississauga]

I am no mechanic, far from it. I like the look and have read reviews on the 6th gen celica and that is why I am interested in buying one.

The car I am looking at is a 1995 GT-S (Canadian) and has 322 000 km on the body and 80 000km on a replaced engine.

In Canada the Celica came in ST(1.8L) and GT(2.2L) models. The engine that was put in is a 2.0L JDM engine that the dealer says is from a '95 celica from Japan. Does this sound right? I mean could this cause problems since it isn't the exact same engine it was built to take?


Also, what repairs should I expect to have to make with a 6gen celica of this age and mileage?



THANKS!

IIRC the 2.0 is a 3S-GE engine.

Or 3S-FE

if it was taken from any celica after 94 I would assum it is the 3sge. Anything before that would be the 3sfe. How much are they selling it for? That will kind of give us an idea on what it really is.

3S-GE has been in production since '86 - why would you think that?


OP - I think someone is messing with you but IDK. Can the dealer produce pics of the engine.
