Picking up a relatively low mileage 90’, need some advice
I come from a heavy background in RX-7’s (FD) and 1.8t GTI’s and finally decided to pick up an Celica Alltrac as my new ‘fun’ car. I looked around for a little and came across a 1990’ with 70k on it in PERFECT shape. One owner, PRISTINE paint, never seen snow, only driven in the summer on weekends. All in all a dream alltrac. The car is currently at a dealership and is being sold by the owner of the dealer (he’s the original owner of the car). Car is being sold with a 12 month, 12,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty that includes everything sold with, in and on the car (engine, body, rust, etc).
Now I’ve been looking around online for a while and have decided to buy the car. My question is what should I do to the car as soon as I get it home with regards to reliability. Obviously I’ll need to change the oil, oil filter and coolant flush but what else needs to be done? Timing belt? Any seals? Hosing? Remember, the car only has 70k on it and was rarely driven.
Thanks again!
