you blame your celica for breaking down ? after all the car has gone through with you ? wow

those cars " look " nice, more research to really judge them but if the sellers are honest those are some extremely nice cars. 12 K is a little too much for my pocket but fortunately not everyone is a poor kid as me, so go ahead and buy one of them enjoy it and then blame it for breaking down on you after it suffers from bad ownership diseased.

i dont mean to sound like a dick here but take it from personal experience on SC300 with 1jz and 2jz swaps. THEY ARE A ****ING MONEY PIT!!

if your complaining about the maintance one your celica be prepared on the maintance for a SC300 with a swap. not to mention if the guy did a ****ty job at swapping the motors your looking at wiring and other electrical crap to deal with. the 5spd diffs/trannys that came with the SC300 stock are pieces of **** and break way to easy under power/abuse.

also since you live in CA be prepared for smog. these cars will not pass smog unless its been thru the carb system which i highly doubt. so i hope you have a smog hookup that will look the other way.

12K for a 92, 93?

For that ridiculous amount of money for an old ass car, I'd rather go with the Rx7.
