alex282 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 There are lower mileage ones but you might pay double I couldn't say if you should buy this one or not as it's hard to tell from the ad if it's good, but it is a 55 plate so if it had the service history, things such as the clutch recently changed and was obvious that it had been well looked after then I'd consider it because it will probably last a long time There's no guarantee that any Celica is going to last you another 6-8 years but these cars are holding up well with high mileages so nothing too drastic to worry about. I would go for one that you like and even if it doesn't last 6 years then if need be you can find another one or buy another car. It's not a gamble as it would be with buying a new car where you lose lots on depreciation either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the 140 was very low. They will bang on that mileage isn't important but I know how you feel! I got mine with 56k on 2 years ago. How time and T Sports fly! Now on 69k and prob worth a smidge over £3k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
