    Does look fantastic, now I'm waiting for the interior photos and close ups.

    Who was the previous owner ? Was it a mature person who used it to go to the supermarket and back ;)

    Are you going to use it as your everyday car ?

    it might just be the lowest mileage celica in the world...i wouldn't touch the suspension at all. or anything asides from maintenance.

    Thank you! Yeah sure, but on what parts. Photography is not my strong suit!:eek:
    The previous owner, was an old man that just did inspections and serviced it at a garage in his hometown! The rest of the time it just stood in his garage =)

    It's perfect now ;) No, i won't lower it. This car has to stay original! :) Engine photos i will fix for you :cool:

    You think? Yeah maybe, i haven't seen one with lower mileage at least! :wink You are right, no suspension lowering! Just maintenance and repairs! =)

    Just like myself Marten, you like to keep it everything original. Are you going to be using it everyday ?

    It would be sinful to change anything on a car as good as this and I wouldn't be driving it every day either

    Thanks Stig! I didn't realize they were so rare:) The car is a 2.0gti 16v 3SGE Engine, and i believe the model is st162 =) More than that i have no idea! :roll

    I've seen your car CelicaSteve, great car! Yes, no ugly bodykit or rims on this car! ;) Yes because it's my only car at the moment!:eek:

    Won't be changing anything, so you can be calm! ;) Yeah i know, but since it's my only car i have to!:(

    When I bought my Celica 15 years ago, I drove it everyday through wind, rain, snow. It has stood the test of time well and I've always been fortunate enough to keep it in a garage. I now use it 2/3 times a week since I bought a Supra as a daily driver although it's bodywork is not as good as the Celica.

    How did your interest in the Celica came about ?

    On the rear there is usually a sticker saying "GT-R, GT-S, ST, GT, GTS" etc.
    Your car is identical to mine when I found it - barring the sunroof and electronic suspension.

    Unfortunately mine was already on it's way to the scrapyard

    :drool5 Great find !!! With 10 k km its absolutely new car! And I think You are a proud owner of lowest milage ST16x celica :D
    But does exhaust original? I thought all GTi (3sge and 4age) celicas has twin pipe exhaust, but maybe I am wrong.

    Yes, i also have a garbage so that keeps it out of weather and wind most of the time =) You had it for 15years? Amazing!:D
    I am really like rally, like wrc and such :) So i think there the biggest interest came from, and because its so beautiful!:ewink

    Just take care of it and it will look very nice! :) No my says, 2.0 GT-I 16V :) What is electronic suspension? I must have missed something? :)

    It's not new, but in great condition! :) Well thank you! ;) No i have a recite on a new muffler, not original twin pipe, so you are right :ewink

    Thank you! Yeah i am shocked myself, 248miles/year average is not much ;) I havn't seen yours, do you have a picture gallery or something? :)

    Thanks! Yes amazing, but not new! The car needs some touching up, like new carpets and a touch up in the engine bay my friend! :D

    It's not homemade, i think? The "thing" is the cruise control:D Isn't it factory mounted? :scratch

    Well, buy it from me then! But thanks!:rolleyes:

    I believe the factory cruise control thing is placed in the steering wheel!

    Wow, extremely nice car, none of mine have had less than 150K on them when purchased, cherish that car and leave it just as it is and I wouldn't even drive it much!! Hope to see it bringing top dollar on the Barrett-Jackson Auctions one day.....;)
