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!

Does this seem too good to be true? Not sure if it's the photos/water on car/clear peeling on the bonnet and rear. Interior is a little rough, but all that is the fun of repairing the car to her former glory  I would use those, and any other point you can pick to lower the price a bit  Make sure you test drive it well though, and inspect everything you physically can prior to even offering a price, if you pick anything use it to lower the price When buying any car, just be patient and the right one WILL come up eventually
