Hello Guys,
I am looking to buy a 1998 Celica GT Convertible that a local private seller has listed. I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers on what to look out for when I go review the car. I am a mechanic so I have the basics covered in that area. TIA |

if it was drving in the snow check the wheel bearings.. also the brake calipers.. the rear suspension has a problem of rusting and bolts and nuts getting stripped .. rust is the car wasn't well taken care of is a big problem.. engine should be fine.. those egnies can take a good amount of abuse.. other then that normal ware and tare.. but your a mechanic so you should be able to find all the trouble signs easy..
