here is the situation, i found this 95 red celica with 164k selling for $3900

what im thinkin right now is i only have 3k to spend...and im leaning more toward the nissan 240sx
and 164k is somewhat lil high to me

i want the 240sx for its RWD
i dont need a super fast car, just a hatch i can get around places and have some fun with it

good thing about the car is that, the seller is like super close to me, i might go n check the car out later on, mayb next week or w/e, i just saw the ad 2day, so yeah...

tell me why should i get the 6gc over the 240sx

I have a thread in here because I'm looking at a 94 celica...and I've been researching a few sites and user reviews of this car. Overall, devil is right, a lot of people take these things over 200k without major issues (just maybe clutch replacement). Also, yes, it is a toyota and toyotas are damn near impossible to wear out as long as you maintain them right.

I'm going to pay perhaps more than 5,000 on this 94, if other people start bidding, because it's just too good to let get away. If you know the guy and can work out a deal, I would say fight for this car as hard as you can...and I don't even own one yet!

ps: the two big problems I read consistently are that there isn't much room in the car for people over 6 ft, and that there isn't enough power for racing unless you do an engine swap. Good luck!

I hate to say it but I am 6'4" 300 pounds and i fit very nicely in my 94 gt coupe just fine...
and yeah it's not the balls out fastest car i've owned it is the most fun to drive on windy roads.
