The seventh and final generation Celica (T230) was a radical departure from its predecessors. Sold from 2000-2005 in the US, it ditched the previous generation's all-wheel drive turbo option for a sharp, lightweight, front-wheel drive chassis. Base GT models used a 1.8L 1ZZ-FE engine making 140 hp, but the enthusiast's choice has always been the GT-S. It featured a high-revving 1.8L 2ZZ-GE engine, co-developed with Yamaha, that produced 180 hp and had a thrilling dual-profile camshaft system that engaged around 6,000 rpm.
Collectors prize the Celica GT-S, especially with the 6-speed manual transmission. The 2ZZ-GE engine provides a unique and exciting driving experience reminiscent of other high-strung Japanese powerplants from the era. The car's sharp, futuristic styling and excellent handling dynamics make it a fun and accessible entry into modern classics. Factory options like the aggressive 'Action Package' body kit are highly desirable and add a significant premium.
Buying Tips
- The GT-S's 2ZZ-GE engine is the one to get, but check for signs of oil burning, a common issue on pre-2003 models. Also ensure the 'lift' system engages properly around 6,000 rpm; failing lift bolts are a known problem.
- Rust is a major concern, particularly on the rear subframe and strut towers. Inspect these areas thoroughly, especially on cars from wet or snowy climates.
- The optional 'Action Package' body kit is highly sought-after, but it can trap moisture and hide rust. Carefully check the rocker panels and quarter panels beneath the plastic cladding.
- Sun damage is common. Look for peeling clear coat on the roof and hood, and check for hazy or yellowed plastic headlight lenses.
- Most Celicas have been modified. Stock, well-maintained cars are the most valuable. Be wary of poorly executed modifications that may be difficult or expensive to reverse.
