The subject line for this one says it all: Beater with a heater. It’s a usable 1997 Toyota Celica ST with 157,000 on the clock. It looks a lot like one that we had in our fleet back in the day.

Always liked the looks of these cars, just a pity that Toyota never saw fit to really give them any love in the US market.
I've never seen a brown sixth gen before. I like it!
My own fifth gen was and still is a great little car, so now I'm wondering about the newer ones.

Speaking of Celicas, I've seen an explosion of older convertible Celicas on CL all of a sudden. I don't know where they all came from.
I will never willingly own a brown car. That color is just not for me.
Except that's red and orange.

Glad I'm not the only one. I looked at it and went "Ummm, that's not brown"
You have to see it in person. Its brown. The wash and sun may be blinding you...

I thought maybe it was going to be the next "Is it black and blue or blue and gold?" thing
Ssshhhhh! I was hoping this would still be around come September. I do keep telling myself sweet deals always show up fairly regularly so good luck in selling the Celica. And I'm also hoping a '98 SE-R is still knocking about then too.
This Celica color is a miracle. You can go a couple of years between washings and never see the dirt.
That's what color my mkiv supra was.
