Hello,
My son has fallen into the trap of the Celica Gen6 and we are going to look at one soon,
its a low mileage (Show Car) 1996 GT, Dry stored for the last 3 years only being driven for shows and to keep
everything moving and working well, bills for over £3k in that time, Good MOT history online,
full service history? seems to be a much loved motor, owned by a older gent as well..

He wants strong money for it but if its as good as he says then it should last for a good long while..

I have no experience with this car make or model, but I do know my way around a car, is there
any specifics that will need to be carefully looked at, and is there anything I need to listen for as well
as look for, any advice would be gratefully received..

Thanks,
GT..

Maybe you can tell me what you think,
Looks to be in great condition, maybe you will spot something I am missing?









It all looks to have been undersealed, a great thing with our weather in the Uk
But for me the the best part is it all looks to be standard, except for maybe the exhaust?

What do you guys think of it?
