Absolutely in love with 7gen celicas
I used to have a midnight blue celica GT but it got totaled in an accident back in 2010 due to black ice thank God we didn't die it got hit twice got rear ended by a sedan then a truck crashed into it on the right passenger door I really really liked that car and I always got compliments
@@KL-ot1vt die to how light the car is they suck in the winter. New tires with great tread... Black ice or very slick snow doesn't discriminate. But add wind to the mess and it's not safe taking it out. I was headed on my way home back home during a blizzard going 50 on a 60 mph zone as everyone was. Just took a gust of wind and a bulk patch of snow to cause me to lose control. I spun 360 3 times till I was finally able to get it under control just missing the wall. I also had a semi 50 feet behind me but he was able to slow down. Not a scratch cause I some how missed the semi and the wall... Not to mention two other cars.
I'm glad that you made it out alive. Not many people survive a crash like that. Was this on a highway as well?
same
i like the 6th gen slightly better just b3couse the headlights
@@edmuenster2436better have proper winter tires with studs
Purchased my 2005 Celica in 2008 still run strong. Daughter drove it four years during her college years. After she bought her new Corolla she gave it back to me.
One : Reliablity
Two: Gas Economy
Three: Appearance
Bonus: Low insurance Rates
Uno no corre dos poca fiabilidad 3 no tiene autoblocante,turbo ect entonces para que sirve pues claramente es un deportivo chino para niñas
2024, i'm still dreaming that 1 day i'll own a 7th generation toyota celica, i want it to be my 1st car to own.
Same here
Got my Toyota Celica 2000 a few weeks ago, I am so fucking happy with it!
Also loving your ride man! Hope she is still going well :)
Hey man hows it running now? Thinking of getting a 02 model! any issues with yours?
My 2000 GTS also grinds when downshifting from 5 to 4. From what I heard the GTS had a TSB from Toyota. Later models have the updated the transmission.
Mine does that too
Great info my guy. Just got myself a 2000 Celica GT with 200k miles with manual transmission. Tons of fun and zippy lil car!
I just bought a 2002 GT in May. Like it, but it sure could use more power. I’ve heard good and bad about the GTS (potential reliability issues), but after researching it, all the potential problems can be remedied with a few important upgrades. Kinda makes me wonder if I should have held out for a GTS instead of my GT. Don’t get me wrong, I do love my GT, and love the reliability.
How do you like it a year later? May be getting one tomorrow.
Thank you for a great video! I’ve been looking for a seventh gen celica the last month and you’re videos have been a great help! Keep it up👌🏻
what state your in I have a 05 black one with 117,000 miles and runs great
This celica slaps, its so clean and stunning. Props.
Great video I daily drive a Celica TRD Sports M I was recently parked beside a new BMW M5 and some people where taking pictures of the Celica and ignoring the BMW the BMW driver wasn't happy😂
Legendary car! Sports M is So Special! I want one!
Im in my 30’s and absolutely enjoy my gts! A blast to drive!
Seriously contemplating selling my NC MX5 Sport Black and changing to one of these, I'm in the UK so for us the Celica GT has the 2zz engine. Really good buyers guide, can be applied to basically all cars and I 100% agree that you should rev a car you are interested in buying especially if it has any form of variable valve timing.
Big fan of the Toyota 86 wheels, very OEM+ looking!
Great video, I have a 2001 gt auto. Still driving it. I got it in 2004. It was the only celica they had in my city.bought it used at Toyota .
i just bought my first car and it’s a 2002 selica GT and i’m so excited
How does it do?
just some pointers. get a lav mic and try to avoid recording on windy days. and when you cut and change takes make sure you leave some extra time at the beginning and end so you don't cut off your audio and you can transition smoother between clips. and possibly a handheld gimble for extra fluidity for those walk around shots. for driving shots maybe mount the camera inside the cabin or a couple go pros to capture everything from a better perspective. Absolutely love the Celica. I've got a 5th gen with a 3sgte swap and its a beast.
Been eyeing getting a celica and this video is perfect! THANK YOU
Very tasteful body kit, have seen some horrendous bumpers and spoilers on these but yours is pretty excellent.
my 2zz short shifter grinded on the 2nd and 3d gear sometimes depending on whether you go up or down, and from where, and most importantly based on rpm. After driving it for 2 months, I got to learn it and it learned me. I noticed that If I tried to suddenly shift from 5th or 6th to second, especially on high rpm, it would definitely grind. But if I downed gears 1 by 1 eg. 5,4,3,2 or 5,4,2 it would be way better (still would grind sometimes, but maybe like 1/10 compared to 5,2). Finally, if you have low rpm, or ideal rpm for each gear, then it would never grind. eg. if I lock 2nd gear while at 3k or below, it would never grind, no matter where I'm coming from.
Just my experience, I know it might be a faulty transmission (new clutch), but I come to realize that old manual cars are like women, you can't have one without it's character, and what appears to be issues, but it's a flair, a hint of the car's spirit that you either deal with it, in a mutual way that the car has to deal with you, or you can't.
Lol. The rpm`s are to high to go from 6th to second. That's a drivers error.
The boot is bust on mine too 😂 respect to the celica man dem 😂
I use the ghetto stick, so I don't loose brain cels (or my head).
I actually replaced the struts on my Celica it wasn’t that hard.
I just bought a 03 gts for 3500 and got the guy to take 1700 of because of the paint but the rest of the car is pretty clean
I bought a 2005 Celica GT at 85,000 miles garage kept in great condition for $5,000. Bought it off a old lady whose son would occasionally drive her places with it and would maintenance it.
It is now at 101,000 miles.
I wanted to swap out the engine for a GTS engine but found out that a GTS engine will not fit into a GT model. 😥
But I LOVE this car. I hope they bring it back some day. Apparently toyota in January were discussing and entertaining bringing back both the MR2 and the Celica but feel like they can't justify making more sports models.
GTS engine does fit, very common swap.
@@TheGuyWho3415 really? Then I just have been misinformed. I tried looking it up but always got unrelated results. The only related result I got was saying that the engine wouldn't fit. I'll have to look up the source but I'll take your word for it and do some more digging. I would like a gts engine still.
I owned 5th 6th and 7th gen. I love them all. But my opinion 7th is better overall. Fuel economy, comfort, looks and working on them for me is easier and 1zz-fe is a good engine as long as you change oil and check it once a week at least. I miss 3s-ge engine though because of crazy reliability. I once drove 35miles without coolant and I only screwed headgasket but for someone who is a mechanic and loves working on them it was as holiday. I'm not sure if 1zz-ge could take it though.
Thanks I am always grateful for buyers guides from actual owners. Coolant should be coolant and not dirty water, and I’d never buy a car that has any obvious history of overheating to letting the car idle after warming up for at least 10 mins with air con and lights on as this adds load to the engine. If that temp goes above middle then I won’t buy, also listen for the electric fan kicking in and turning off. Oil in coolant is more likely than coolant in oil, both indicate bad car. Knocking down 100 or even 500 for a bad gearbox ? Not me, I’d walk away unless it was advertised honestly. Check engine light can be lots of things, some serious so if check engine light is on the it needs investigation before buying. I’m looking for honesty from the seller, and I’m looking for evidence of proper maintenance. Hacked wiring or rounded nuts are a no-no, check brand of tyres, if they are the cheapest brand then you know the owner is cheap. It’s ALWAYS worth paying a bit more for a really good one, it’s cheaper in the end.
Update the celica is somewhat going in price especially the gts 😒 I want another on
Is this a good first car? I'm looking at one with a body kit and spoiler put it on, it looks insane.
I think it’s a great first platform. Just make sure it’s something you like, and something that you won’t look back on pictures 5 years from now and think “Yeah, I was cringe back then.”
Its a great first car and low insurance rates.
Just got one since yesterday as my first car, gotta love it
ive watched this video idk 50 times now, going onto buy my second celica, gts, so might as well watch this again, brought good luck with my last celica lets do it again lol
I’ve the 2003 in Silver. Love it!
I just bought a 01 celeca for 2,700$. Paint is not great but has barely 100,000 miles. Gt model.
Appreciate the video bro I’m looking at one now
I prefer the pre facelift (00-02) appearance wise. Front bumper, instrument cluster, tail lights, and especially fog lights. (Pre facelift have glass projector fog lights that not only look better but never fade and turn yellow, while facelift fog lights are plastic and reflectors, so they look ugly and after a while, they turn yellow and faded.)
facelift tail lights look so much better though, have you seen some in person? updates the rear so much
@@arcanevoid9199 I used to hateme pre facelift tail lights but they kinda grew on me.
11:34 I've been ghetto with that for about 10 years👍🏼
lol me too. Costco grocery shopping and always got my stick in the trunk.
I did that for about a month and the hatch almost came down on my neck like a guillotine. Decided to bite the bullet and spend the 30 bucks to get some new hatch struts
@@Weebwhacker bruh same
Purchases - 2 New Rear Hatch Gas Lift Supports Strut Prop Rod Dampers Shocks
Pays - $500 to install them
LOL
"usually only get check engine light for catalytic converter" what my check engine light is on for now lmao
What cats?
Hey i own a 00 gts 6speed i dont know where to look for the transmission fluid level
Upcoming Video soon!
A big one on these cars in that the REAR CONTROL ARMS RUST BADLY.
ALL OWNERS: CHECK YOUR REAR CONTROL ARMS!
What brand spoiler is that? Looks amazing
It's an OEM spoiler. Came with the Tsunami edition
Great video man, I couldn't agree more with everything you said. The only thing I'll add is when your in the trunk bay lift and check the spare and pulls those side access panels and look for any rust or holes. I live in northern PA and they can rust up underneath and it isn't visible anywhere but your trunk will get wet when you drive in the rain. Not an awful fix but something to be aware of.
Terbaik dan mantap. Orang putih memang tahu menjaga dan menghargai kereta lama. Teruskan dengan video untuk tontonan kami.
Nah man it was insanely easy to replace back hatch struts and they were 30$
Love the vids man keep it up I do car edits myself but do you think a 7th gen is a good first car for a young enthusiast?
Absolutely! Affordable! Easy to mod! Definitely gets lots of attention when done up! Thank you the Comment my friend!
Thanks would u think it could be good in the snow since It’ll be the daily ?
@@formula.street just sayin that you better be ready to lay down good money for a clean and low mile celica because I would NOT recommend a clapped out high mileage celica, especially if it’s gt-s model,
My Toyota Celica GTS made me real happy until it got taken out by a tornado LOL may she forever rest in pieces and 😂😢😢😢😢
The spoiler looks absolutely godly
What bodyklit do you have exactly, one of the best I've seen so far!
Thank you!
This is the toyota oem Tsunami Edition body kit for the 7th gem celica
@@MitchDore Thanks alot for your reply m8! Enjoy you Celica!
Love the video but why do you cut every scene just a second too early? It happens so often it can’t be a coincidence
lol I thought that too, not the best editing
I 💓 my Celica VVTi 2002 😎
For the hatchback if your wanting to get a trd wind I had to replace my hydraulics to hold it up but it honestly wasn't that hard just don't put to much force or you will end up bending the part where it's bolted down on
is $9k for an 05' GTS overpriced? sitting at 102k miles
If it's a TRD model or Tsunami, no that's fair. But base with no action package I would offer $8k
Celica 7gen gts is a classic car in Greece where I live.We love very much Japan cars in my country(wrx,evo,celica,type r)It's very difficult to find a good condition gts like mine and mitch with less money.My opinion is the same with mitch.But at first look theese things mitch say to his video.Maybe a simple edition gts is better than a trd or tsunami edition if the condition of the car is very good!It's a little difficult in my country to find a good one with less money.
Kinda hefty price assuming its fully stock, try to negotiate for 6-8k
When he opened the hood and sprayed straight into engine 😬
Toyota should orange them back but yo the 7th gen is my fave they can look so clean and sporty like yeah and the 6th gen is classic too.
Very informative 👍
I have the exact same car. I've had it since 2009.
Just bought 2002 Gts 2zz... my transmission bushes all messed up still pulling hard
Love the celicas😊
The front angle gave me c5 vibes cause of the headlights
As a first car do you think this would be good ?
I'll be shopping these thanks to your video 🤩 #Spaceship #CleanLines #VTech
What wheels size is best. I have a 03 celica being used as a daily driver. Looking for wheels that have good performance and look good as well. Plus I also live in buffalo so lots of snow in the winter
Ah, that damn Cadillac converter. Lmao
So, I found a ‘01 celica in mint looking condition and I’m thinking of buying it. While browsing celica videos I came across your video, I’ve listened to all the things you said, but there’s one think I want to know, how can I tell if the car had a terrible accident in the past? I mean like it might have got involved in an accident and got its chasis bent or its top crushed, it might even have its chasis rewelded. How can I tell if it’s safe?
Look at the doors if the doors are not aligned perfectly for example if a door is too close to the door frame the car might of had a terrible accident
Looking at 01 gt-s for 4200 with 185k miles. Should I got for it?
Get it for 4k even if the body is in good condition and a 6 speed manual!
My 2000 gt is a gem🥰 but needs an engine swap...anyone have any luck with that? 🤞🏽
Beautiful Ride!!!!
I just bought a gts I love it
Blew up my 02 gt. Loved the 7th gen soo much that I upgraded to the gts... gotta make a video on it
May I ask, How did you blow up your GT? What happened? That 1zz engine is usually bulletproof.
I like to go hit redline just for the knock
what’s a good gas mileages range to look at if you’re looking for have it for a while
How do I tell if I have a tsunami edition Toyota Celica
Excellent video. I’m shopping for one of these. What would you pay for one? Are there mods for the base GT that can increase performance without hurting reliability?
Recently bought a 02 Celica GTS with 173000 for $4300. Negotiated the price down from $5000. I paid the amount because it's well garage kept, nice paint and engine and interior is clean.
@@rayvillalobos5730 The high mileage doesn’t bother you on this car? Anything I should be looking for maintenance wise?
@@treeskier802 I bought this car because I used to have an 03 Gt I bought from a salvage auction. Was never perfect but it ran great. This car is a gts (learning to drive shift stick). The engines on these cars are built well. The only reason I bought it was the price, 1 previous owner, it was not run/race through like young racers do and everything on it is OEM parts, original paint with some tiny chip, OEM wheels. Some say these cars last to 250,000-300,000 other say it can go longer if properly taken care off. My decision was pure nostalgic and lightly using it that and I don't want to go the EV route
Beautiful car
Where did u get the side skirts? Is that a default kit with the tsunami?
Invaluable video.
😘😘😘
Dude the only celicas I can find are ones that don’t even run or ones that just barely run, the only one I found close to me is one that’s stuck in third gear....
I like the color bro, nice car.
I want it. How to bring it to Cambodia ?
Just sold it my friend!
I have an auto Celica 7th gen and I’m so tempted to make it Manuel but I’m scared. Anything I should do specifically? Keep it up with the great vids though👍
Manual*
Specifically do ALOT of research and even write down and bookmark websites with super important info
Were can you get parts for a Toyota Celica
Pressure washing your engine bay can be dangerous kids. Do your research, I’m sure this guy knows what’s up though
I'm getting a 2005 today :)
Thank you for the video,but please try to cut your words a bit later after you say them... Not before
Thank you for the feedback, I will work on this!
Just found an 03 gt with 25k km for 3500 CAD. Good buy?
I have a 2001 gts 6 speed manual that I am looking to sell. 110k, silver minor chips. Interior great minus driver seat worn out.
Im 22 and I am about to buy one (there is only 1 in my area and it needs a bit of work)
Did everything work out?
@@Edv74390 Kinda, I bought one and the engine got a rattle noise after 1000miles of driving. Bought some new Big Brakes and a new exhaust.
and i cannot really drive it long distances
but i still have mine and i would never sell it
@@DragonslayerDarkfireNr1 Alr, thanks!
The Sam top plat
found a 2000 celica gt s with 150k miles för 4k, thats a fair price right?
I've owned my 2002 gts manual for 18 years now with 394k+ miles and counting. I wouldn't sell my car even if I had a $10k offer.😁
@@abuelb I fully agree with u bro.I got a t-sport 6years ago and I love this car.I have good upgrades to my gts and is better car from my ex Lexus is200.The only I miss from Lexus is the rwd.7gen celica gts Ιt's a clever(to fuel economy)and fast car(192hp) with very good handling if you put good suspension on it.I have 190.000klm now and vvtl-I sounds and kicks amazing!My car don't burn oil at all.The only problem I have with my celica is the a/c.I"ll fix it soon.
Do they sell these in automatic transmission as well as heated seats?
Yes and yes
Looking at a 2000 celica GT
160k miles
Driver side fender looks like someone kicked it lol
Needs to be repainted
Asking $6,500
What’s a realistic price in your opinion
I’m thinking I can at least knock it down a couple thousand
I have an 01 gts 6 speed in good condition I'd sell for that price. 110k miles
Is that Camp Smith HI
where would you go to even start looking for this car?
Facebook market
Where can you buy the 7th gen automatic Toyota celica
Is it worth taking the rear seats out if I don't need them? Or does it feel nippy enough as the gts edition
no not really, they dont weigh much at all and unless you have something to cover it the bare floor pan is pretty ugly
I own both a a gt and gts 7th gen, have had my gt for two years and need to replace the transmission, so alas it's a different build route with my gts that I got for 350
Do you really need premium gas for the gts ? I might be purchasing a 2004 Toyota Celtics gts
@@youngbloods8935 truly if you want it to run right yes
What bumper and side skirts are those?
what year is that toyota?
2004 my friend
@@MitchDore Thank you bro
Avensis front brake straight swap is a must; standard Celica brakes are absolute rubbish for such an agile car.
If you live in an area where salt is spread on the roads, keep an eye on the rear subframe.
How much are these in the US ? I recently bought Celica T-sport 2005 version in the UK and damn it is rusty. I bought for £ 1000 and hence didn't check it much, but I am now paying 500 quid for rust repair and other parts for suspension and all to avoid noises. Overall so far spent 1000 extra. Not sure if i got a good deal there or not.... It is VVTLi version by the way with 135k mileage
You got a good deal on the T-sport for £1000. Even spending the extra £1000 your still good. Seen them sold for £2-3k. The T-sport is the top spec gen 7 celica in the UK bar the GT (UK GT having the 190bhp VVT-Li engine). It's starting to appreciate now so prices are on the up. I've got a '04 T-sport in thunder grey with 137k on it. Great car and it'll easily do 100k more. 👍
@@squareblueorange yes. it is a great car. i am trying to enjoy it now and not think about it financially. just have fun and see where it goes
Name side kits and back ??
Hello man
Can you get me one to own, please?
Does the stereo have bluetooth or a cord socket for personal music?
just get an aftermarket headunit
Why does the video cut out
How much did you get yours for
Do you have a 1zz or a 2zz? My 1zz Burns motor oil and I'm told that's normal, but your input would be so appreciated
They’re notorious for piston ring wear.. yes they’ll burn a helluva lot of oil and it only gets worse.. mines been like that for more than 10 years but I love it, keep up on the oil, keep some in the trunk and check it every time you put gas you’ll thank yourself when your shit last forever like mine does..
The early 1ZZ oil rings lose their integrity after 40k miles/65k km. The ring design was reputedly rectified from the '04 model year. I was constantly topping up my early '04 model until eventually it failed its emissions test at about 165k miles/265 km. Car was scrapped because the ring upgrade is obviously quite a costly job.
Im 16 looking for my first car for when I get my P's soon and this has me hooked
