Hi,
Just wanted to say hello, and thanks for running the 6G Forum, I'm pretty sure you'll hear from me quite a bit. I bought my Gen 6 1.8ST AT200 from ebay for <£200. What a risk. Took a 1 way ticket 180 miles to the seller, drove the car 50 yards, and just knew it was a winner. However, upon waiting for the registration document from VOSA/DVLA, got a letter to say it needed to go in for a Vehicle Identity Check and therefore it couldn't be put in my name and taxed, so it wasn't driveable. Took it in today, and although it appeared to have been involved in a Category C (very serious) crash, the repairs had been carried out correctly and so here I am, finally 4 months later, proud as hell.

That's why I was a bit nervous. It has been to the moon though (186000 miles so far) but my wife has a 4 year old fiat with 70000 on the clock, and the Celica feels more like my Mums new BMW! Very impressed with Build Quality. To be honest, When looking for a cheap runabout, I'd been buying all kindsa nonsense, but then a light came on in my head! what have I always bought that always works? Toyotas! So it led me to this one. The only thing not working is the windscreen washer jets... there's power going to the motor, but don't know what's either making the pump work, or blocking the screenwash... Other than that, and a bit of tidying up on the 17 year old fron bumper (paint peeling) it's in A1 condition. Staggering really. Thanks everyone for the nice welcomes. |
