need advice on buying a celica

[Mr. Seth]

I have a 92 camry with a slipping automatic transmission now and I’m looking for something sporty and with a manual because they don’t slip. I found a 95 celica GT 5spd with 95,000 miles on her, I was wondering if there is anything I should look out for, and also what would be a fair price, I haven’t made them an offer yet. The car seems to be in perfect condition and has many options on it. It is owned by an older lady so I don’t think it was run too hard but it’s still 95,000 miles. Any information would be much appreciated, unless it’s buy an American. Thanks again

i just bought a 90 gts w/ 130k for 2500$ and i dont feel ripped in anyway. i had an 88 (back in '93) bought w/ 77k on it, totalled it w/ 120k on it, and never had to do anything to it other than brakes. 95k on a 1995 car is low mileage actually. so on my current car, i bought it from a kinda shady dealer w/ a 30 day warranty. i been trying to find every prob before the 30 days is up. heres what i got: thought the brakes were screwy/turns out its the abs i was feeling..no prob there. thought the elec or ignition switch was screwy cuz when i took the key out, i could still work the power windows..turns out its a courtesy thing--1 minute delay, again no prob. thought MAYBE the engine was knockin, turn out its a worn motor mount is all..ill fix that myself. so in short.. 1990 gts 130k miles, and aside from that damn motor mount, i CANT find a thing wrong with it....gotta f'in love toyota!---this help any?

[Mr. Seth]

Thanks for the reply, yea you can go too wrong with toyota. That’s pretty impressive that the windows have that delay on a 1990, most new cars don’t even have that. I was wondering more if there were any know problems or things that always go wrong to look for, but I guess there aren’t any, like you said “gotta f’in love toyota!”

1 bad review for celicas.....lack of backseat legroom
