Is this car worth it? Pics/Link posted (need advice) Options

[supra2k8]

Long time lurker, I just don't post much (hopefully I'm not posting this in the wrong section, If I am, I apologize in advance).

If you don't have time to read my entire post, in short I would like advice on buying a 94 GTS, any known/common issues that I should be worried about or watch for, any parts that should have been repaired/replaced for a 19 year old car or things that I should expect to replace in the near future, ex: catalytic converter, alternator, timing belt etc.

A short background, I live in Ontario Canada, and owned a 94 Celica GTS 5spd, bought it from the original owner (50+ year old lady) in excellent condition in 2007 with 134,000 Km's/ 83,000miles for $3800. I spent $600 to fix some minor rust and regrettably sold it about a year after for approx $5500.

This was the car I bought back in 2007.

Old Celica

So fast forward to present, I currently don't have a vehicle, previous car was in an accident and in the junk yard (98 Integra GS, dad driving it). I found another Celica similar to the above, I just don't know if I should go for it, since a 1994 car is almost 20 years old now I just want a daily driver, that's good on gas, and I love the 6th gen Celica's too much, so that's the main reason I want one again.

This is the one I'm looking to get:
Price: $4490
Pros: Original owner, LOW mileage, Only 70,000miles (112,000km) no accident.

Cons: auto, almost 20 years old, looks like 100% stock (also a good thing) sold by a dealer = 13% tax here.

Auto trader ad





So in conclusion, should I take a look at this car, is the price fair, what should I be checking when checking it out in person, I do live approx 1 hour away so the more I know now, the better.

Any advice/tips will be greatly appreciated, Thank you in advance

$2,800-3,400 maybe. There was a dealership near me selling a low miles 96 GT with an automatic for $3,000 and it had leather and the power moon-roof. They're just not really desirable cars for whatever reason. People would rather have a Civic or some other Honda.
