Is this car any good?

[quinnjere]

well im looking to buy a car and i was hoping to get a celica. I found this one on ebay and was wondering what you guys thought about it

it seems good but my dad says that 170,000 is too many miles and that it is a peice of crap but im only 16 and dont really know too much so please teach me. Thanks

That is a fair bit of miles but my celicas original engine lasted alot longer than 170k and this one has already been changed. I dont know if I would buy something like this off ebay, not unless you go and look at it and take it out for a drive yourself.

You should also take it to a shop and have them look over the car for any mechanical flaws.

ok, got the same situation. I have a 95 grand am, and found a 95 celica that i could get for no cash outa my pocket. The celica has 175000 miles and needs a little body work. But i'm looking to do the "import tuner" scene, and a grand am doesn't work for that. Celica has a new clutch and is a sharp car (outside the body stuff). Insurance would be the same, body kits are cheaper, and there are more parts available. Is this a wise choice?

Let me ask you one thing, do you want to buy something that is slower then a newer civic?

1990 No need to worry its sold.
1995 Good driver I am sure. At 175 it is kind of high to start tuning though.

I beat a "newer" civic in my GTS. IT had intake, header, cat-back exhaust, apex safc, adjustable cam gears, fuel rail with pressure regulator and to beat all a 75hp shot of NOS And all I had was an Injen Intake.

I ended up buying a 1995 cutlass supreme so far I like it. its got 96,000 miles and it still rides like a dream. In the future I still plan on buying a celica though.
