as for mileage.. it's all about how lucky you are...
I got my '98 SR in 2001, it cost me £10k with 29k on it.
I got my '99 GT this ear with 23K on it for £8.5K.. both were mint.
I did have a look around for a friend of mine to try and find him a decent GT or SR (not just the plain ST) - lots of SR's are available (considering there was only 250 of each colour) but very few GT's.. it might just be the time of year ?
happy hunting - I'd suggest that you may want to travel further to get a good car if needs be. - I travelled about 100 miles to get the GT from the Leeds.
As for servicing - I just travel to the Celica Clubs 'pet' toyota dealership techie..
it's an 80 mile round trip but i know my pride and joy is looked after.
