Hi all, I'm going to view a 94 st202 2.0 this weekend. I'm new to celicas is there any common issues to look out for?

It's been sitting up for 8 years. So a full service and new fuel would be a good starting point. Anything else before I started it up?

Also inside is a bit damp, do they have any common issues as far as leaking into the cabin?

If it was garaged and moved around occasionally it'll be fine, so finding out how and where it was sitting would determine rather or not it should be gotten. Also why, sometimes cars get parked and the car is perfectly fine when it happens due to various life stuff. Either way new tires and fluids is a given, also struts. Possibly brakes. If it runs out ok just be ready to replace all wear and tear items right off the bat. Even then unless it's a model and colour combo you're just dying to get it there might be better options out there.

Oh 3rd gear synchro likes to grind on downshifts is a common problem, so that. Outside of that it's usual old used car stuff.
