1988 Toyota Celica ST review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap, Sweet and Neat sports car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust tip rusted off and needed to be replaced.
Engine leads needed to be replaced -due to the engine 'missing' and timing was off.
Battery wasn't being recharged so old part was replaced.
CV joints replaced.
General comments?
Great car, but had a few problems with it - a total of $800Aus has been spent fixing it in the past year.
Nice handling and sweet looks for an older car.
A bit disappointed with the power - only because it's an auto, if you are interested in buying an 88 celica get a manual!
