A lot better than that last fixer upper. Nice leather drivers seat and custom exhaust. Looks clean. Same thing as 5th gen only different body. Check the miles and see how it drives.

so do ya think its a good buy for 4000? the odometer reads 179,000. i took it out for a test drive and had a mechanic inspect it he said everything was fine it just need new c/v joint boots

Seems a little pricey. It's hard to get $3500 for any car that is more than 5 years old. Although it seems like it's in good shape, but nothing really special about it to warrant $4000 for a 10 year old car with high mileage. Check the blue book or edmunds and I bet it's about $2000.

It's about $185 for each cv joint/axle with a lifetime warranty unless you do it yourself. You can get cheap slip on cv boot but at high speed it will leak or they could just replace the boot the right way for about $100. Seems like a nice car but a lot of mileage. $3300 cash right now?

I have a 96 Celica ST for sale right now that is in perfect condition. It's got brand new paint, new clutch, timing belt, water pump, seals, front axle, and some other stuff. It's stock, 5 speed, 143000 miles. I'm selling for $4000 let me know if you're interested. drives perfectly fine with no problems
