Hi Guys,

My sister is looking to buy a 6th Gen Celica and i'm not too knowledgeable with this car. Has anyone got some tips on what to look for before buying, common problems, etc?

I am from Australia.


Thanks!

Rich

yeah, i got mine, the cv joints clicked to no end, the clutch was wearing and the rear sway bar bushing were worn too - had that nice clinking sound

new axles - $102
new bushings - $6
new clutch, pressure plate & flywheel - $283

while i was in with the clutch i tightened everything up n greased everything up as well - drives like a new car now =)

plus parts, at least around here are cheap - new cyl head - 200 (smoking, valve noise, just get a new head)

i do ALOT of driving, and im downgrading alot in power so my car gets abused with some nice revving and it takes it very well =)

i definitely recommend this car, have shopped for a while, got a great price on mine - after wheels tires and some other goodies still paid less than most ppl pay flat out for 6th gen =)
