1994 toyota - $2000 (norfolk,va)

I have a 1994 toyota celica inspection has been taking care of 2/12 so you no it did pass inspection this vehicle here is in good condition not in wonderful condition but in good condition. Miles on vehicle has 1986xx miles kind of went up because I drive from vb to norfolk every morning that's it interior in vehicle is in good condition beside one rip in driver seat but that's small.it does have a sun roof moon roof what ever u want to call it the switch on it needs to be change because my daught kept pressing the button so it jam its not leaking at all engine has no ticking no clicking no leaks or no over heating I did have all 4 hud caps before I got the tire change but now since that day 2 of my hud caps came off.there's no cracks on wind shield all fluids is maintain on the reg every 3000 miles oil change is done.overall this is a good vehicle


Ok so this the celica I dont know which model it is I already gave it a test drive the only promblems that seems to have is suspension and it has a whole in the muffler but other than that its a beauty.This is my first celica im getting it next week. I would love to here the input on this post.

id check over the car once more look at bottoms of doors,under hatch carpet for major rust issues, look around window seals for rust bubbles/holes, of course the underside will be rusty but thats what salted roads do!, i would check around oilpan and power steering pumps for leaks(even though he says it dont leak it could still be leaking but not hitting the ground) and check the cv joints for tears,make sure theres no clunking when turning at low speeds, kick tire on the side and top to see if it moves alot(shouldnt move but ever so slightly) and of course make sure its in top running condition, if it has very little issues id buy it, but if it has some bigger issues think of how much it will cost to repair and add that to cost of the car, and see if its still worth it. good luck
