Buying Celica Info

[nfsCelica]

Hi,

I am maybe planing on buying Toyota celica, year 1993, 1.6 litre. What are + and - of this car, how is the maintainace on car, on what to be carfull when buying borowed one, estimate price for this model sayed above if it is in excellent condition? And 1 more question, is there no Power window option on this particular model?

Oh dear... 1.6 Celica Gen5. Thats only got about 114bhp :(

Not a lot of these around as... well.. they werent very good to be honest.

You're better off buying a 2.0 GTi/GTR (FWD) or the 2.0 Turbo (4WD) GT-Four as there are loads around to buy and are very very cheap.

Maintenance on any celica is straightforward and cheap enough if you are prepared to do the work yourself.

Just wondering, why are you interested in a LHD car? It says you are in Bedfordshire so wouldnt you want a RHD car?

Value wise... it probably isnt worth more than a few hundred pounds.... as it is the very very very most basic of models and in the trade is the saying "Left hooker, half booker". The only reason anyone should buy this is on its rarity, otherwise there are far better buys out there.

Hope this helps.

Im from Europe actualy, we have left drive here, i just randomly selected city. I would rather buy 2.0+ but there are only with 1.6 engines, dunno why. The owner said the car is worth about 2500€ which is 2100gbp. It is well maintained but it is still to expensive i think.

£2100 !!!!!!!!! :eek:

That car would be worth about £200-300 here in the UK....

For that money you could buy a Gen6 GT-Four here in the UK...

Hii!I think that's why nfsCelica. If I were to live in Chile I could find one Celica in the whole country probably and my cousin told me the Celica 2000 I had would cost twice the price I paid in the US. Sick. :) Now what is shocking to me is that now I live in N. Ireland and there are nice cars and lots of them available to buy, but people here buy the ugliest things, all eggshaped

I don't know he total cost of this car as of now,But when you purchased this car make first an observation before buying it.
