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? |

It was the first like it that I've ever seen come up for sale locally, and I think I've seen one other like it up for sale nationally in the three years or so I was on and off looking at them. Though at least his father drove it from time to time so it kept things from seizing, but it still needed tires, fluids, and shocks. Which honestly are things I'd replace on any used car anyway unless they were recently replaced with what I'd use, which I doubt since most people throw on the cheapest stuff before selling a car. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Box will be available for wrenching time. In all seriousness,since you never posted again. What did you end up deciding? -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...
