Toyota Celica.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Toyota Celica is a sports coupe that ran through seven generations until 2006, with the final model offering sharp handling and Toyota's renowned reliability. Most used examples on the market are either late-model front-wheel-drive coupes with the 1.8 VVTL-i engine or older rear-drive versions that attract enthusiasts. Buyers should pay close attention to service history and modifications, as many have been modified or driven hard. Rust on older models and oil consumption on high-revving engines are worth investigating before any purchase.
