which one? Options

[99Celica]

so i'm in the market to upgrade daily driver and my first car, an 89 celica ST. It's got almost 210k, the body is abused, and its not getting any newer although it still runs like a champ.

For my replacement, I want something both economical and functional.
I really like the tercel because I can get a fuel-efficient 4 door car.
I've always wanted to get the toyota pickup (SEXY) and it would be nice to have a 4x4 vehicle and be able to tow stuff.

I only want to spend 2-4k for the vehicle. Any other suggestions are appreciated but Toyota's only

EDIT: just realized I like the way the 95-97 tercels look a lot better

I just picked up a 89 celica gt hatch for 900 bucks. It ran really good, but had this rattle going on the day after I bought it. Drove it to work and thought the timing belt snapped. Towed her home to find out a piston shot out the side of the block. I just got done removing everything from the engine bay.

I say stick with it. Its light and looks fairly decent. Just replace the motor with a 5sfe. I plan on doing so, but the woman won't let me. So I guess I'll just drop in another 3sfe. The 3sgte beast is just chilling outside.

Is the st a hatch or coupe?

and why spend 2-4k when you can use that to fix the current dd? What is your 6th gen doing then?
