Hey guys, first post. Long story short, I have a 2004 BMW 325i that is abysmal on MPG for some reason, no matter what I change, I can barely squeeze 20mpg. I am looking at a 1994 celica Gt hatchback auto, in hopes of getting a cheap reliable commuter car (70% hwy/30%city) that is better on gas than my BMW. My folks have a 1999 camry w/180K miles and absolutely no problems, so I am assuming the internals are similar and experience should be relatively similar? I found one on craigslist listed for 2200, black 1994 hatch w/ 141K miles. Is that a fair deal on these cars? What kind of MPGs are you guys seeing on your GT autos? Thanks!

Hard to tell the price without pics. $2200 is a good price.

I bought my 2nd 6gc 2 1/2 years ago for $2700 at 205k miles. Fixed the oil leak and misc maintenance, it is now at 272k miles.

My best mpg was 35 running at 62 mph ave for 460 miles
