Scotty is so excited he has another Toyota Celica to work on!!!
Would you sell your cat pillows for that car?
The California Edition 1995 Lexus SC400 is the fully loaded SC400, minus the heated leater seats. I have the original window sticker and it cost $52,995 back in 1995 and that is approximately $95,000 in 2019 dollars.
hey scotty, buy a bmw, I've got an 325i with 266k miles, still runs and drives like new.
The celica all wheel drive turbo is pretty rare
Scotty is so excited he has another Toyota Celica to work on!!!
Nothing to work on except routine oil & filter change.
I saw dribble on his pants
@@markfive3731 Scotty was doing no nut November but then this Celica came along...
Dammit scotty its the first day if november
4:17 Scotty is the only mechanic who offers a free cat scan with every repair.
Lmao
Not me
Good luck finding one in good condition, let alone that's a convertible and reasonably priced.
Shane Fleming right most are on their last legs in poor shape
@@instasingingvids3529 I've seen a few here in California.
@@instasingingvids3529 Exactly. The ones that run and not rusted cost a small fortune. Lol. Saw one for $6000 in Alabama. Too far from me.
JNS TRUCKING INC. He said in the video that the previous pwner replaced the top before he sold it
🙂 true
FWIW the 5th gen 90-93 is nearly identical mechanically. pop up lights are the only added issue. So for anyone looking at this you can do 5th or 6th gen and Scotty's comments still apply.
Thanks! I'm looking at a 92 with 112k on it. Looks like a pretty fun car.
You’re the #1 go to guy on UA-cam to look for help fixing my own car. Saved around $2,000 so far fixing rack and pinion, finding vacuum leaks and other leaks in general along with a ton of other problems on other vehicles. You’re work is highly appreciated from myself and A LOT of others.
FACTUAL INDEED
Scotty's undying love of 90's Celicas always cracks me up!
Scottys love for Toyota is coming back! The apocalypse isn’t as near as I thought it would!
It is not coming back!
He is taking about a 20 year old car.
Carlos Arias that’s not what I was talking about. Recently Scotty has been against Toyota and more for Honda in a love/hate relationship so I’m pointing it out as a funny way that he’s starting to love Toyota again. I know the Celica isn’t coming back.
Vyper hahahha
@@vyper1502 Scotty has always been a Toyota #1, Honda #2 guy. So that means he's gonna show love towards Honda too. Most mechanics feel the same way and there's a reason why used Toyotas have the highest resale value.
😂 😂
Next video: “Why my cat can drive better than you”
Seeing how people drive in the city, i wouldn't be surprised if that were true.
Lol
My cat can drive our tractor. Forward, brakes left and right .
That cat will be the next owner of this channel after Scottys done
VENGE CUH How about "How to repair claw marks in your car's seats"?
What is better than a Celica?
A Celica convertible
Even the cats 🐈 like it!
Finally Scotty cat pillows came to life
4:17 Cat approved!
You haven't seen enough videos if you haven't seen the car until now.
@Vernise: You had me laughing with that one, lol.
That cat is certified vehicle inspecter
@@SamiUddin13: Didn't you know the cat is who tells Scotty whether a vehicle is good or not? I just wish that his 🐈 liked Kias more, lol
You are a great Toyota salesman!
🌚
Whats better than scotty's 94 Celica? A Celica with red paint and a standard transmision
OBD II
3:35
That moment when all your faith in an old Celica goes out the window as you await the rag top crashing down on your head.
I saw that and crack me laughingp
Did seem a bit noisy. Nothing some lubricant won't fix.
Not Telling You just told
Scotty bout poopied himself 😂😂😂
I had a brand new 1976 Celica GT, really a beautiful car IMO.
“ACTUAL GLASS!” I thought Scotty was gonna splooge himself the way he said that.
what does splooge mean
Remember Joe Isuzu? Scotty Toyota!
Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.
Scotty's starting to sound like a used car salesman. He’s fallen in love again with Toyota.
The Toyota mafia paid him a visit.
Toyota muscle: "Hey Scotty. We hear you've been... bad-mouthing the company. You used to be with us, Scotty! You used to be with us. The CEO caught wind of this and let's just say, he is less than pleased with your performance lately. I'm saying this as your friend, Scotty. Back off the company, capeesh?"
Scotty: "Hey, let me make a new video."
He's just telling you the truth.
What you say makes no sense.... used car dealership just sell crap not good cars!
@John C. that's basically what you have to do at any job!
H M right? Like he literally explained how the build quality of Celicas went down the drain 2000 and after. I don’t know what video people these people watched lol
Scotty is the best car youtuber hands down.
Too bad Scotty didn't tell me these were great in 1999.
I would have bought one and would probably still have it.
Do you even see one of these still on the streets anymore? You should be happy you dodged a bullet.
António Margalho no I don’t see these car around the streets anymore....but then when you live where I live they have all rusted away a long time ago. Now if I were in central Texas or Arizona that could be a different tale.
António Margalho I see them quite often around here. Also very clean ones too. Great cars
Antonio Margallo I see quite a few of them, sure they do rust a lot like most Toyotas
Finally, a video telling me something I CAN DO.
Your a great guy Scotty, straight shooter. Enjoy all your videos. Learned a lot from you. Also I’ve had a 1990 Celica with the 2.2 here in Ontario Canada.
I own a 2007 toyota solara convertible and am absolutely in love with it the engine is a a v6 camry but the way it looks the way it corners and the interior is amazing reminds me of this car
I have a '97 Celica GT Limited Edition, 6th gen, convertible, with 40k miles on it. I agree with everything you are saying. Bought it new and have loved it for 22 years.
Man that alternator looks really easy to change! What a great car 👍🏻
They are! But the power steering, oh Dear God... I've contracted out for that one. Still, a great car. Doesn't need to be raised for oil changes. Many good points.
I did an alternator on this engine. Took 5 min
Yeah but when you change it, never get the remanufactured version in local auto parts store. Make sure its rebuilt in USA. The main wiring can also be worn from being right next to the exhaust manifold. I have a 5th gen convertible. This was my main issue with the car.
@@sleepyhollow783 but the power steering rarely breaks on one of these. I’ve seen them 25 years old, still original power steering pump. Good old hydraulic, unlike today’s electric power steering, where it’s a bunch of complex ELECTRICAL to go wrong. Old is gold in this case
4:58 cat behind the wheel: "how this thing starts"
Just bought one yesterday, 1998 Toyota Celica GT Red convertible, one owner 79k miles , garage kept, top works like new, interior has no cracks, man did i get lucky completely stock and we’ll maintained mechanically, for only 4000$ . I can easily flip this car but just the rarity and unique of its condition I can’t picture letting it go . Best 4000$ ever spent
I just bought a '95 black GT convertible. The pictures were really interesting. It's got a Mocha colored leather interior (after market, obviously), a Pioneer 8 speaker hands free stereo, brand new top, nearly new tires, new water pump and timing belt, heater core....etc. I couldn't get a bead on the value. He was asking less than $8k, I offered him @ 7. He took it. I even brought a true Toyota guy with me. He builds MR2s. He was blown away. It's not home yet, I will be able to pick it up soon!
I saw that one for sale. Looked nice but is was an auto unfortunately.
ayy yo scootty i just paid $4,000 for a 2006 grand marques ls with 53,000 miles . IT IS CLEAN just wanted to brag.
Good car but you paid too much for that grand dad car 😴 IDC how many miles it has, too much money
@@andyespinal78 Not too much money if he drives it another 300,000 miles! The low maintenance will more than compensate.
I knabbed a 1990 Oldsmobile Toronado Troféo for $275 2 years ago. Ive been driving it around as a second car ever since. Just have a few issues to take care on it. But it too is clean af. No rust, 111k. Its awesome.
LRulesTheWorld car was high tech for its day
Pro Gamer Go Pramer you’ll never be sorry...best cars ever. Panther last forever
"Cat Approved"
Always works for us!!! LOL
Trish Blassingame *Kilmer Cat 🐈 Approved®️*
got a 98 celica just like this one last week, car is amazing
I must admit, I'd never looked at Toyotas, luxury cars and all other brands of cars the way I do now, after watching your videos lol. however, I've always known Ford to be the best out of America's "Big 3" due to quality and reliability! There's hardly any Fords, just sitting up in used car dealerships like, Chevys and Dodges, because they're still out on the roads, running like they've, just came out of the factory.
I have celica 2000 gts and I've only had to replace the clutch after 100K miles which was last year. other than that, i've had no issues with the Engine. with regular maintenance and it should last a lot more years to come.
Which engine? I think he only mentioned the 1.8 as having problems. Personally I really like the 7th gen with the GT kit on it. The spoiler and skirts are really cool.
@@richardm5664 1.8 2zz-GE I believe. it's the GTS. It's a quick car and gives great gas mileage as long as you take care of it.
BEST VEHICLES TOYOTA MADE ARE 1970-1994 TOYOTA PICKUPS🤘 CHANGE MY MIND
I loved my 95, end of the line before tacos started in 95 1/2.
Carlos - My first vehicle was a 1993 Toyota pickup, regular cab 4x4 5 speed with the 22RE 4 cylinder, a very basic little truck but it was tough! No horse power but tons of low end torque , I was in high school and took that truck places some guys wouldn’t take their 4 wheelers! I loved it!
You are so right. Much of it boils down to not only quality but the simplicity of the truck. Less moving parts, less stuff to go wrong. Not to mention, the 1987 Toyota 4x2 truck people paid $1,500 for in 1998, is selling for $2,500 or more today with 300k miles on it! lol
How about the 99 Tacoma with that v6
Camrys?
I just woke up to Scotty and I am so grateful to have found him. I learned a long time ago that there are 3 things hard to find. 1 a good lawyer 2 a good doctor and 3 an good and honest mechanic.
I have had my 95 celica since high school. 6th owner. Bought it with 200k miles now its at 290. Original trans, engine, and timing belt (non interference). The only thing I have touched in the engine since is the oil filter, battery and thermostat. Im at the point of scrolling through rockauto to see what I can replace lol
I knew you wouldn't resist making a show off video of this beauty!!
Scotty: actual glassss. Thought: where is the picture of a glass bong?
i had a 82 Celica with 2.4l . Great car, i drove to Florida and back so comfy. The driver seat had an air pump you squeeze to give lumbar support.
I remember my first job was doing valet and I parked one of these yellow color,I think it was a celica GT... long story short while i was parking it a good looking asain chick said “nice car I love these cars”. This was back in 1998-99
I was like 15 years old. I said thanks as if it was my car. I had no game,I definitely could of got her beeper number or land line number but I was insecure because of my teenage acne lol
I have a 1990 Honda accord with 280,000 and it runs beautiful ..I name her Betsy😎
I named my 2004 Chevy Venture Betsy ......Then the transmission went out at 95k miles
I have a 92 Accord EX in Bordeaux red with 107 on it. I bought it from my aunt, the original owner, when her left knee began to give her trouble and she couldn't drive it daily. It's named Ruby. She can drive it in short bits, but not daily so when she comes to ny to visit, I always let her take it for the few days she's up.
I'd love to have a 90s era Civic or Accord but I live near Tacompton, Wa and it would be stolen within minutes of parking it.
@@Ideo7Z which is sad that one can't leave a car without fear of it being gone upon return
Skodaman2 It runs beautiful I put a new timing belt in it
Scotty: Celicas are the best car they never need repairs
Also Scotty: Has Celica come into his workshop for repairs
/s
It's probably there for maintenance..
I have owned a 1980 RWD Celica, as well as a 1986 and 1989 Celica. All great vehicles. Oh and Scotty's bagging on the 7th gen celica, may have some validity, but I think he overstates the case. I have a 2001 gts and it drives great and I haven't had any trouble with it. More fun to drive than the 6th Gen celica which was just a sporty looking Corolla. If you don't track the 2zz engine or drive it like a maniac, it lasts a long time. I also don't think Scotty is giving Toyota it's due on the work they did on the new Supra. It appears to be a pretty good car which drives different than the Z4.
I I just purchased one for $300. It needs paint as it faded. Manual 5 speed. Runs like a champ. I put new tires. Tune up and oil change. I am in love with it and it’s red in color with 183,000 miles. Was parked for over 15 years . Top works when it wants to but overall it’s a joy to drive.
I need to get a celica 🤔
But don't forget Scotty's wife's lexus, it was only 3 grand! Those are the two main lessons to learn here on Scotty's channel! :)
Only get the 6th or 5th generation.
Got a 7th generation 2002 Celica GT and coming up to 300K. Not sure what Scotty is going on about. Still get compliments about the sporty looks.
if you want a 7th gen that's bulletproof get a Celica GT 2003-2005 with or without Automatic transmission or an Automatic Celica GTS any year. 2000-2002 Celica GT often burns oil and GTS engine blows up because of human error when going over the redline in a manual transmission.
@behexen250 hes talking about Celica Gts with weak oil pumps that break when you over revv it in the manual. blows up due to human error. I got 2004 gt auto Celica with 119000 miles a bit chip on the hood but everything is clean.
Woohoo! I had the same exact car!! 260k when i sold it! By far best car i ever had!! Hmmm
Just bought a '98 convertible for $3,500. No rust, no dents, everything works. I'm a happy camper.
You're killing me, Scotty! Watched your video on the 2012 Camry, now there's one in the driveway (36K miles, pristine condition). My wife would LOVE this Celica....I'm scared to show her the one I found for $3500.....
I personally love the design of the 7th gen Celica. Also, I sold my Celica gt for a gts and that 2zz engine is awesome. As long as you don't rev it too much over the redline and don't try to take corners at 100+mph, it's a really fun, nice looking, cheap, reliable car with good gas mileage.
Scotty! I own this car in the '96 model. Same car with the same Barcelona red, only difference is it's a 4-speed manual transmission. Got it for $2800 -- think I got a good deal!
@I'm David Hasselhoff and possibly more expensive as it got older, since 6 has more parts that could wear out.
That 5th gear really saved cylinder heads. Drive it 70+ on the interstate long enough in 4th gear, and the head gasket will eventually start leaking.
@@gg5115 Good to know
1) One of my mechanics at work has that exact Celica drop top, and he can’t say enough good things about it either
And 2) omg Scotty I just love your cat, her walk-ons are my favorite part of your driveway videos
Although they technically did kill off the Celica, many say that the next gen Celica was the Scion tC. Alot of people thought the TC stood for Toyota Celica even though it stood for touring coupe.
My family owned two 90's Celica convertibles growing up, a 92' and 96'. I learned to drive on the 92'... That generation with the pop up headlights is still one of my favorite cars of all time. Try and find an AWD All-Track to review!
Hi Scotty!
Regardless that this is the earliest I've ever been to watch your video, I was actually unsure of your advice for the first time...until you said "even the cat likes it!"
Thanks for another great video, yes 99 Celica convertible is good buy!
Have a great weekend Scotty!
I just bought one of these and It has absolutely no rust with only 188,000 miles I think I got a hell of a good deal
Yet again Scotty talks sense !!!!!!! Here in the uk these have started to really really increase in price so I am about to go and get one !!!!!!!!!!!
Got me a 94 celica, its a great car!
3:37 LOL Celica Gave you quite a scare there huh Scotty
I have a 1997 celica convertible with 50,000 miles on it, I love it
Scotty is in love! The best way to Scotty's heart is a red 6th gen Celica with manual transmission.
get that cat off my car LOL
Austin Wilson If you are really the owner, then nice find at 3.5k for sure 👍
I am allergic to cats, so i hope that the owner of that car isn't, lol
It seems Toyota resumed mailing cheque to Scotty Killme...........
Somehow Scotty's definition of fun to drive and my fun to drive is very different. I much prefer my BMW M4 over any crappy Celica.
Take car to scotty to get quality work done on it and get cat hair on seats and claw scratches in the paint as a bonus.. YES!!!!
The cat is just finding a nice place to pee on it :D
He smelled rat most probably ...
Nice video! The cat stole the show 🤷♂️
I just got me a 1998 Celica Convertible with 138,000 original miles 👍🏽 Got it for $3,000 and I’m located in San Francisco.
Next: cats from Scotty K. and Louis R. are debating about how bad repair shops influence good repair shop's reputation :-))
At 6:01 some is revving their engine
Thanks Scotty 😎
I wanna see Toyota bring back the Celica with a sunroof as standard or an optional convertible top. I think it'd be great with the new Corolla engine and some more modern bells and whistles on the inside. I had a Gen7 Celica and loved every day of whipping it around town. I had to modify it to hell and back to get it just right tho. Haha.
Wow $3500? Smokin deal, new top and looks like fairly new paint 👍🏻
Scotty: "This '99 Celica may be the best one Toyota ever made."
Sad '94 Celica: "Do I mean nothing to you?"
Relationship in a nutshell lol
Miata: Am I a joke to you ☹️💔
Yes
Derek Flynn I swear, it’s not because they’re reliable cars. They only hold value because there is a generation of short dudes and women Who would rather drive them over something like an MR2, which I completely understand. Also track racing.
Drove my sister in law's miata, 6'3", people were pointing and laughing.
Paid $5000 Beverskins for my '97 Miata, drove it from Toronto to AB..... 160kmhp the whole way.
Sold it for $6000, 4yrs later.
I just bought one for $2500
Only 129.500 miles I’m so happy with my purchase I always wanted a convertible. And now I have one to keep for years to come
( I watched this video before making my purchase) it has the same engine as the Camry!!!!
Do you still have it? Trouble free? There is a 91 convertible for sale nearby asking $2900. What are your thoughts?
Hi Scotty. I had both a 82 & 84 Celica, loved them both. I wasn't a great fan of the look of the one you're showing, but you've convinced me, if I can find one I'm getting one!
Paint job is so glossy!
He took it out of gear and the emergency brake wasn't set 🤣
Barr-Nunn Tech Scotty can Handle Turmoil!
Damn, my mother would love that car.
Personally I'm sad we never got the 4WD Twin Turbo version.
In the 7th generation's defense... looks are subjective, but many people did like the new "angular" look. The 1zz was a great engine that could last well over 200k, but even the 2zz could last a long time if ran on the proper fuel and with an upgraded oil pan. It really came down to the owners not taking care of them, causing the engines to blow. But neither of these things were what took away from the Celicas sales and caused it to die, it was simply the market at the time wasn't interested in small coupe sports cars. From around '97 to '04 a lot of Japanese sports cars were axed, like the supra and many Honda models. Not because they were bad, but because of the market at the time.
I think the 1993 celica was the best.
Love mine💚
416k
Q plus 2020 Drive it to 1 million and they might make a commercial out of it! 416k is awesome though
@@webdevnoobie I hope it makes it to the big roll over. I'll never get rid of it. I love it. It's the 2nd car I've ever owned and my favorite.
that really is a nice looking car a great choice!
I got that exact same engine in my 1995 4 cylinder Toyota Camry with 212,000 miles on it. Those engines are bulletproof.
Cat says “Man this is nice large litter box”
I remember my girl wrecked hers!!! I loved it
AZ Battle School She could have fixed it with implants!
Easy answer the Celica. Best car ever made in history
I have a 1989 Celica convertible. It's an automatic with 192,000 miles. Paid $1600 last year and it runs like a watch. Rust free and Immaculate, I put a battery and tires on it. That's it
I gotta argue with Scotty, the '92 Celica was the best. My main argument is POP UP, UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS and it didn't have those meth head looking circles like in the '93 and on models.
The gt-four is my second argument and I don't think much more needs to be said about that.
Finally, I think it was more reliable than the other Celicas. I drove my '92 like it was a rally car and the only thing to ever go bad was the fuel pump after 25 years. I don't recall it burning oil either. The was a small issue with the top leaking, but that was after a branch fell on it during a storm.
What killed it was me not knowing much about cars at the time. Not knowing that it was a stupid fuel pump and not the injectors or spark plugs or anything except the fuel pump. Parents convinced me to scrap it for fecking 200 bucks. Worst decision I've ever made.
'92 Toyota Cressida the best car ever made !! Along with '95 Acura Legend cars built way before their times cars today can't even compete
Cressida was a legendary car in the whole world
Yes @ Cressida and 1995 Legend coupe and sedan will be classics as time goes by
@@no1biker80 yup it was epic
Damn near bullet proof.
I actually liked the look of the 7th Gen better. (shrug)
Scotty you should do a video on the Celica GT4 All Trac Turbo from the 90s, it was a rare but cool car.
My father had a 97 celica before my brother wrecked it in 2016, it had 230,000 miles on it and still ran like a champ
Hey Scotty, I afraid if the cat went inside the car doing a stinky business! Please double check
🤣
I had a 76 Celica with hatchback hand crank sunroof and 20R motor and was the most fun car I ever drove. If Toyota would make a decent Celica now I would buy one.
I had a 1984 1/2 Celica GTS+ or something like that. I paid $300.00 cash for it in 1999 with 130k. That car was awesome. I gave it a tune-up, and did basic maintenance on it, and I only had to replace the thermostat, and one fuse. That car flew down the road, and I could beat most Detroit 8s, because of the power to weight ratio. It had a sunroof, power mirrors, windows, locks, flip up headlights, and I think a power driver's seat. I am 6'3, and I had no problem sitting in it. However, the radio sounded like crap, because the equalizer was blown. The only reason why I got rid of it was because someone smashed it up. That was the best car that I ever owned.
I saw this video and went online and bought a Celica Convertible! I want to cash in on my $1Mil one day!
I just bought a Celica G-Type at only 80,000 kms... so excited to work on it
I love Toyotas. In 2017 I bought a 2006 Toyota Solara SLE Convertible with 10k miles for $10,000.00. Now it has 15k miles. I love this car and love driving it.
As a mechanic, i agree about 7th gen mechanical , but like they say beauty in eye of beholder. To me 7th gen by far the best looking celica.
I bought my very first brand new car off the dealer lot for $6,500 ... a Maroon 1977 Celica GT. A really fun toy it was.
