is it an import... ?? you can tell by the fact that the headlights don't have washer jets and the square rear no.plate...
its a UK car.

not a bad price i suppose... as an example I got my '99 GT for £8.5k, with 23k on the clock.. in April this year..

it depends on the full history and condition... i suppose.
There's a list of things to chekc - you should be able to view the lists on the uk site - even i you haven;t joined as a member yet (to post in forums other than the newbies/for sale you need to be a paid up member) you can read al the threads in any forum.
is that site ceclia-club.co.uk
???

yup.. www.celica-club.co.uk we're a friendly bunch.. a few of us are on here as well.
IMHO I'd think it may be a little over priced, I bought my 94 GT from a garage nearly 2 years ago, it's a UK and had 57K miles with a full Toyota history for 6k. It was (and is) completely standard and the only thing that went against it at the time were the tyres were worse than useless.

Have a look on the autotrader website at dealers and remember a set of new 17"s are 600 squid and a reasonable cd head unit it 150 squid, btw stock celica speakers are quite good.

I've seen a few GT4's for 6.5k on the trader, fresh imports, the GT should be cheaper now. www.parkers.co.uk give a price guide, paste this link to your browser but oly accounts for a standard vehicle...

£6000's not too bad especially when it's a UK car. You get penalised over
here when the cars an import, so your making a saving there!
i think that it's a bit expensive - i got my 98 GT for less in march. Personally id rather get a standard car and kit it up myself. (I got mine from an old woman)

1996 UK white ST2051998 UK silver ST202Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool!!!
oh - and i forgot to say - that kindof mileage for a 94 seems suspicious - normally jap imports have mileage that low - or its been clocked - just my opinion.

[QUOTE]the downside of the SS1, SS2 models is they are lower powered than the UK cars... if i was importing it would have to be a GT4 but 2 celicas is enough for now...

the ss1, ss2 & ss3 are 177bhp thats about the same as the uk GTs.
unless you have the Beams engine. 200bhp

I got my 1996 imprt ss2 back in August with 45,000 miles on it and I paid £4000 so I would expect that the car your looking at is a bit over priced.

ss1 is 138bhp >wink.gif>


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.
