about a 93 celica vibration...

[betterlate1]

I just acquired a 93 celica GT and it vibrate/growls...idling or driving, seems to be worse when idling or creeping...it vibrates the steering wheel,dash etc.
I thought maybe it was a motor mount because it doesn't steer weird or shake like a front end prob.
So after reading a few previous threads here, sounds like it might be a motor mount prob.
Here is my questions...If it is a motor mount, what should I expect to be charged by a garage to fix it? (I'm a female, so ya know...they could quote me a price and I wouldn't know if I was being gouged or not)
Also, any ideas if it would be something other than the mounts?
Thanx!

Not sure what the cost would be, but you may just want to have them check it out fist. As far as the growling, when I had my 93 gt, it was quite louder than any other car ive ever riden in, driving or idling, also the fan seems to be much louder. Don't know if that helps you out, but good luck
