Hello all, I am new to these forums and am on a crash course. I have the opportunity to buy a pretty tight 96 with 103,000 miles on it. The only thing not stock is an aftermarket air intake, which I understand hurts miles per gallon so that would be the first thing I take off?
Is there anything in particular I should be looking at on this model while checking it over? I am new to Toyotas but excited to buy one. I've heard gas mileage is really good and they are fun to drive. It is the 2200 motor. Thank you in advance! |

Rust....??? Oh yeah, I always forget that's an issue in other places.
 If you want better mpg you can throw in the 5th gear from a Camry.
