2nd hand Celicas (94-99) - Common errors? Options

[rasta]

Hi guys really appreciate your help. I am about to buy a 1998/1999 celica and just wanted to know what i should look out for, in terms of expected manufacturing errors eg certain faults (if there is any major one reported).

I have seen many celicas that state in their advert that they have had NEW BRAKE CALIPERS, but i havnt seen this mentioned on any other toyota cars. Is this a common error taht occurs? Also is their any rust problems, anything to look out for?

Thanks, much appreciated!

They're pretty solid. I had the original calipers on my car with 200k on the clock and they were fine.

Only rust I'd watch for is inside of door on the bottom and under spoilers but this isn't a common issue just something to look out for.

hey dude, thanks for info, so is the 6th gen more solid that the 7th gen? Also how good is the engine and clutch on the 6th gen? I plan to get a 10 year old car with 80k on the clock, and plan to do at least 22k motorway miles each year for work.

Reason i ask is that i dont know much abnout cars and need a reliable car
