I really want a Celica (2002~2005), not got much cash, but was wondering what kinds of things to watch out for with these?
Any glaring build issues/weak points they have?
Other cars i'm looking at are Mazda MX-5's and Toyota MR2's, just for some fun.
i was looking at them to since they go fairly cheap... apparently oil burners though.
saw a pretty good MR2 for only £500. Shame im 2poor and stuck with just my corsa for now
If u want a more practical car, look into a matrix xrs, same engine as the Celica but a hatchback
Nah, i'm definitely looking for something with a more sporty appearance. I've had a hatchback for ages now (Citroen C1, efficient little runaround, zippy but not really fun at all).
£500?! Nice.
The one i saw was around £1500
People misshift the fuck out of them so work through the gears a few times on the test drive up and downshifts.
Also the sunroof after the redesign was real glass. the first style was plastic and they look like shit if you dont polish them onthe regular.
Dont get a gts with the auto. its litterally slower than a gt with an auto because it's a torqueless wonder. a GTS with manual is best
just get a clean stock civic for 2500-3k.
Only get the ones with the 2zz engine and manual gearbox. Everything else is shit.
1zz = shortblock problem.
Ex-owner spotted.
I blew mine up thanks to going from 3rd to 2nd at 80... tach needle went past 9k.
Only the weak shit 1zz burns oil. The 2zz GTS model is superior
