Well.. i bought my celica two julys ago and pretty much ever since i bought it, things have been going wrong with it. Up to date now, I've spent about $3500 to keep my car alive and drivable. Wednesday night, i was driving home around 9 PM, my car started to bogg down and idled low and didn't have much acceleration at all. My check engine light also came on and was flashing. By then, i pulled over and called my dad. My car is in the shop now and I'm sorry to say that i will be getting rid of the car if repairs are more than $300. Ive spent too much money on this car to fix it up and it never treats me right. Don't get me wrong, i love the car but i just can't afford to be putting all of this money into it while going to college. I'm just hoping that repairs aren't too expensive this time and I'll consider keeping it. Thanks for letting me rant, This has been on my mind all week and i needed to come out.

funny...im waiting for my car to act like that since a while...to drop a 3sgte in it and having a good excuse to spent all my money biggrin.gif !

good luck with your car man..hope you manage to fix/keep it


Same here... I'm waiting for my engine it cut it so I can have a excuse to do mines to. I still got warranty though for 4 more years and 50,000 miles to go.

Good luck with your next car if you choose to. I was thinking of the new Nissan Altima.
