Hi all
I just bought a 1995 Celica for my son from ebay. I fly to florida day after tomorrow, then drive back to east tennessee. Obviously, I know little about the car except that the seller just changed the timing belt, otherwise the car is (hopefully) in great shape. It's blue with 117K miles. Any tips on what I should be looking for on the way back as potential trouble spots for an 11 hour drive? Perhaps some sounds or something that you experienced folks might have me listen for. Thanks, I look forward to learning from this and other forums. |

where in florida...i've driven my celica from VA to FL to LA and back again its a great ride!
careful not to fall asleep as the car gets VERY comfortable mentioned things already...shaking at speeds..pulls in either direction..unsteady throttle at cruise..wheel shakes durring braking (pedal could as well)..OIL..engine temperature..bouncy ride...and your gas level.. those are things i normally pay attention to, also tire pressure is a good thing to start with |
