Hey guys. I'm looking for a first car and I love the angular look of the early 90s cars. I have the opportunity to buy a Celica from 93 at 2500$.
It has 170k miles and the owner claims to have new tires and battery in place for it.
It's stick shift.
Would this be a good vehicle for a starter?

Picture related (it should be the exact model)
>>
Only if it has a 3SGE.

What is the 3SGE? i should add I'm not interested in racing or being fast

Celica convertables had a design flaw in the cloth of the convertible tops that made them have to be replaced all the time. My dads old girlfriend had one, it used to spit out staples from the cloth top. I would steer clear of any convertible car actually. Its just more to go wrong with and it makes you look like a super gay.

Buy a civic.
>>
>>17287890
One of the engines.

It is important to know cuz it basically tells you if the owner was smart or if the engine has reliability issues.
>>
OP here thanks for the intel. I'll stay away from converts.
>>17288042
Any models that look similar to this? Would a late 80s Civic be usable today?
>>
>>17288088
any car is usable today, just depends on how much time and money you are willing to spend on it.

keep in mind that the older the car the more youre gonna have to work to maintain it, which is not necessarily a bad thing if you like to do your own work but can get a little frustrating

>>17288088
No. Get something with obd2.

Celicas have high insurance for like no reason. I wanted one too but this really turned me off. Also at 170k miles you might start running into problems, celicas are reliable but not that reliable.

The faggot OP is back again.
Is a Toyota Paseo a better choice?
>>
>>17290137
Do you want a small, impractical and decidedly cheap feeling Toyota Tercel?
>>
>>17290267
is the tercel more expensive?
>>
>>17290361
I apologize that's a stupid question .
I actually don't mind a smaller car. I don't plan on taking anyone else along with me
>>
>a Toyota

scumbag cars

get Nissan instead.
>>
>>17290367
You'd be surprised how handy having the extra space will be.

Even if it's just back seats, you'll find a use for it.

>>17290369
Nissans are shit, get a Mazda instead.
>>
>>17290369
Niggersan is more scummy than toyota.
How can it not be when its always packed with monkeys puffin on menthols.
