Hey guys, i didn't really know where to to put this thread so i put it here rofl.
Anyways, im looking to buy a celica around my area but is there anything i should look for specifically? besides the main things of course. also how many miles is toooooo many miles since most i see for the past few weeks are around 180k+ or its an automatic(which im not looking for). |

Indeed, mine has 190,000 miles and still going. Yes, stay away from the autos. 110-135hp is bad enough with a manual, let alone an automatic. Every now and then you'll see a low mileage 6th gen, around 50,000 miles or so. Expect to pay around $6,000 for such an example though. The Toyota engines are fairly stout and are non-interference, so not too much to go wrong. Only thing that comes to mind is the 7A-FE being notorious for its oil rings sticking.
