Very cool car. A gem.

Awesome buy. I have 2 Celica GT's and are fun like no other car I've ever drove. Just replace the door actuators and she'll lock up no problem. Enjoy your ride

3k is crazy cheap for aus rn. I'm from NZ, looking at buying one this weekend. If I buy it it'll set me back $9.3k. It does only have 103,000km on it though (64,000 mi), and its an import from Japan so hasn''t had any other owners. If it looks clean I'll probably cop it.

Hey man, Celica looks great, hope your next Celica video will involve' hitting Lift' while in 6th gear..... Go for it....

😂😂😂 I lost it when he said, " I'm a bottom"😂😂😂

That´s a great review. I love these cars

Good price for low miles 👌 I just got me a 01 gts with 207k for 2800 a bit rough on the outside

this thing would be a nutty touge/canyon car especially if you get some coilovers for it

nice car i had one just like this too

Congrats dude! The rubber bump stops on my 2003 GT-S hatch were the source of noise from the trunk when going over bumps. They dry out and break down. Throw a little grease on them until you can source a replacement, or just send it. I’m pretty sure the rev-limiter is set to 8200 RPM, even if the redline is 7800 RPM. Mine is around 8000 in the 2003, even though the tach still shows 7800. Could be wrong. Anyway, sweet ride. Enjoy. These are such fun cars and it’s cool to see one in such great shape and still stock.

Forgot to mention, I had to replace both door actuators within a few months of owning my car. It’s a thing for sure, sadly. The hardest part is sourcing them, but replacing them is easy.

Miss the celicas

Nice score! Your video popped up on my feed, probably because I bought my son an 01 GT-S several months ago. He's really enjoying it and has all kind of plans for it! 😂 I love the 2ZZ engine, as I had one in my old 03 Vibe GT and it was a blast in lift. I swear it sounds like a Japanese bike when driven hard!

I have a white 2001 just like this minus the gold and an autograph transmission. It has a huge rear main seal leak. $1285 engine out repair.

I have a Celica GTS also nice buy. Have to say though when you were revving this car it sounds like an angry cow 😆! Not sure what's going on with that setup

@@thegamingguy1 ahh fair enough haha. Looks like a good example, I've owned mine for 6 years so if you had any questions let me know. Regarding the boot, try to unlock it with the key/fob button. Also the button in the centre console you pressed to try and unlock the boot is a weird button..it stops the passenger window from going up and down whenever you press the button to lower your windows (doesn't do anything to the boot)

I’m thinking about getting a Celica as a graduation present after I finish university (2025). I was wondering if you think it would be smart to still get a Celica when it’s 2025? I currently drive a 2009 Corolla that my dad was fortunate enough to give to me. But I have been very interested in getting a “sports” car but still a daily, so I’ve been entertaining the idea of a Celica

Heck yeah dude! I think for an entry level sporty car these Celicas are great, they're affordable, reliable, easy to work on, not too old not too new, fairly practical for a single person, and it has a fun chassis with high quality materials throughout. I think depending on your budget either a GT or a GTS are both good options for their respective price ranges. Other front wheel drive sportyish cars in this price range I would consider are the Honda Fit and the Mazda Protege 5 wagon, they're both a pretty similar power to weight next to the Celicas, just with a bit more practicality for if you're going to be needing the space. Some other stuff that seems really good but I don't have personal experience with: Acura RSX, Ford Focus SVT, Nissan Sentra SE-R, Mazdaspeed Protege, Subaru Impreza 2.5RS, Acura Integra, Honda CRX, VW Golf GTI 1-4 For rear wheel drive stuff there's not much that's really amazing in the price range, but off the top of my head you can still find 96-04 Mustang GT, 1993-1998 Ford Thunderbirds, Lincoln Mark VIII, 4th gen Camaro and Firebirds, 1984-1996 Corvettes, Lexus SC300-400, Mazda Miatas, Crown Vics, Mazda RX8 (maybe don't get that one), BMW 318ti, BMW 323i etc etc... Some of those you can't get in manual but they're still fun cars. Lol you can tell I really enjoy talking about all the different models available for cheap on the used market right now. Anyway lemme know how it goes hommie!

@@thegamingguy1 Oh my gosh, haha, thank you soso much for the response. I actually appreciate all of the suggestions you have given me, I'm definitely going to look into the other cars that you've mentioned. I've been saving up so my budget is around $15k for a car, but honestly, I'm saving up until my Corolla is not drivable whatsoever-which I do not see that happening in a few years atleast. I'm really excited to finally be able to purchase a car that I will truly enjoy! I will 100000% keep you updated (which might be in 2 years or so LOL). You should definitely make more videos about your thoughts/suggestions/opinions on other car models. It would be super helpful :)

A rust free Celica in NY? TF how? I would get the mileage read with OBD off the body modules to verify it since the console is incorrect. If you bought that from a dealer and it had an odo swap they should be reported.

Honestly I was in a pretty depressed period of my life where I was just habitually checking Facebook marketplace out of boredom every 45 minutes when this popped up lol in my experience deals like this get snatched IMMEDIATELY so checking frequently and messaging them asap is a must. Imo when it comes to buying and selling, the stuff that's hard to teach is recognizing a good ad from a bad ad. Pictures, how many, what quality, what angle... has the person never held a phone before? Description, does the person even know about cars/this car? Could they be withholding info? Is this a sincere seller? Are they trying to flip the car? Is the seller young or old? Private or dealer? Is there incentive for the seller to charge a high price (ex Toyota supra, Honda civic type r) on this car? Older gentlemen and younger early 20s guys specifically will give you the best deals I think since there's not so much to lose or gain for them right. Some more stuff to consider when buying is, where's the market trending? is stuff going up and down? and is the car I'm looking at potentially going to go up or down in value? What is the person's messaging style, are they very descriptive over text or do they seem very anti social? There's just sooo much to go over that you have to learn from experience. Basically how I found this was, I didn't care about Celicas whatsoever, but I was looking for any Toyota with a 2zz because it's basically the cheapest engine with V-tec you can get in a daily driver at a good price. In a way to me, this almost guarantees it to be a future classic cause V-tec in the late 90s and early 2000s was a different experience that you can't get today. This car popped up, I messaged the guy, he was willing to haggle on his price of 5k, and I went to get the car the next day. Meeting up with him, it was a green flag because he was a diesel mechanic in his early 20s who had a f350, and the only reason he got the Celica is cause his friend gave him a good deal on it. You could even tell he didn't really know how to drive it either. So he didn't really know much about the car or care about it at all, he just wanted the money, which is really the goldilocks scenario. Honestly above all I just like looking for deals and learning about cars and their history so it probably comes more naturally to me than other people lol anyways if you read all that, thanks so much!! Feels good to ramble at 4am sometimes haha
