I"m looking at a 1996 Celica 25th anniversary ST 5spd with 240K miles. Owner says everything works and it runs well, but it needs a release bearing and possibly a new radio antenna. It has, what appears to be, black leather seats? Here it is in the ad:
http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/4128417004.html I can never find a black celica hatchback around here, let alone one with a 5spd and leather seats, and I want something really good on gas. Owner said its mine for $800 Would you guys go for it? What kind of MPG do you guys get in your 1.8 5spd cars? I currently have a 2004 325i auto, and I can NEVER pull more than 23 MPG, with 80% freeway travel under 75MPH This post has been edited by leb_toyota: Oct 17, 2013 - 4:48 PM |

Grab it. I was interested in this one for the seats but couldn't find a way to two it back to Charlotte.
