I am no mechanic, far from it. I like the look and have read reviews on the 6th gen celica and that is why I am interested in buying one.
The car I am looking at is a 1995 GT-S (Canadian) and has 322 000 km on the body and 80 000km on a replaced engine. In Canada the Celica came in ST(1.8L) and GT(2.2L) models. The engine that was put in is a 2.0L JDM engine that the dealer says is from a '95 celica from Japan. Does this sound right? I mean could this cause problems since it isn't the exact same engine it was built to take? Also, what repairs should I expect to have to make with a 6gen celica of this age and mileage? THANKS! |
