So I'm looking to get into this whole Celica Scene for a commuter vehicle and had a couple of questions.....
First I'm looking to buy a 1994 Toyota Celica St with 215k on the body and about 115k on the motor which I'm told is the 4A-Fe and stock 5 speed Tranny. Now down to the business of everything Celica related, What kind of gas mileage should I be pulling? Also what would you think is a proper price? The body is in good shape and clear is faded but not too bad. And are there any problem areas I should be made aware of when I go to look at it like popular rust spots or weak parts? Sorry for all these questions but I've always been a Camaro man and I know little to none about imports and 4 bangers. Thanks for any and all input no matter how small or simple. I need all the help I can get haha |

Anyway. I have the 7A FE on my 97 Celi. And I have donesome calculations and found my car in the mid to upper 30's in fuel economy. Not the only reason that makes me love the car so much but this certainly helps.....
 Ps. Welcome to the Forum
