hey, my names erich and im gonna buy my celica at the end of the summer..limits around 3500..maybe a lil more. ive been looking at online sites such as autotrader but all of the celicas for that price are all above 100k miles..now i know that the accords and camrys can hold their value and be reliable with that mileage, but what about the 6 g celicas..im looking for a gt 5 speed. black, white, green, or red. thanks. are celicas fairly easy to work on & mod?im deff gonna buy a veilside kit.

there are celicas around here with 200k on them. you can swap out the old weak engine for much more powerful one with less miles. 100 k isn't that high at all. i'm at 94k miles and plan on keeping my car for at least 10 more years. anywho... welcome to the site and good luck finding a car.

I am in the same boat as Phonex, my 94 GT is pushing 267K and still runs as strong as ever.
