Alright Garage,

My dad is about to purchase a 1991 celica. It's got around 170k miles on it. He's buying it from a guy whose repair shop specializes in toyota (and other imports) repair, so the car is in good working order and up to date on the scheduled maintenance and such (as far as I know.)

Does anyone know of any reliability issues that should be addressed for this thing? good/bad/great car?

make sure this nig will guarantee most of his work.

just because a shop owner had this car doesnt mean its top notch.

get all reciepts for what he has done

^ yeah yeah, getting the receipts is first on my list when I go with pops to check out the car.

It will be reliable as any other 16 year old Toyota. It's a $2500 car, Jesus who cares?

^dont care to join another forum, just wanted some quick knowledge. is the 5sfe the "2.2" that comes in the gt models, or is this a swap you are talking about? it is a manual.
