You'll never experience a new car or a different car if you're too cheap. Scotty, pry open your wallet and live a little.
I found a right side gas strut for your Celica trunk on eBay for $11.16 just now.
Scotty i love ur car..dont ever sell it
Scotty, you probably should have covered the license plate up... now every other CZcams freak will be knocking at your door!
Scottie I had a 2004 Rav4 and it ran 335,000 until original clutch went out everywhere I went said it was going to be $3,700 to replace the part was only couple hundred but labor was going to be $3,330 or higher had to take engine out to get to clutch and replace it? Lov your auto shows even though i cannot even change oil on car??? lol thanks
*Scotty made this video just in case anyone wasn't sure what his opinion was on the Toyota Celica.* 😂😂
Plus, there were people trolling him a couple days ago about his next video going to be on this.
what does he think ? he didn't make it really clear ....
Honestly I thought he was trying to clear up the rumors that he thinks toyotas are endless money pits
Oh really I never knew he liked his Celica so much....😁
I'm confused about what he's trying to get at 😉
scotty will be reincarnated as a '94 celica
That would make it worth it watching a Cars sequel.
He already has been

With the Yamaha engine, he would be pissed

Reincarnated as a 1994 celica.
Bought by an owner that doesn't make timely oil changes.
Sounds like a special type of hell for scotty.
Most old people will talk to you for hours about their health.
Scotty will talk to you for hours about his Celica's health
It was 8 minutes and he covered more than just health. My Man! :D
Scotty will live forever.
@Brian J Must be my 94' Celica with over 340,000 miles on it with no Stupid car new car payment.
@Brian J 94 to 99 are the Best years. 2000 to 05 are the worst years.
@Brian J You are so welcome. Remember to stay away from the 2000 to 2005 Celicas. They have a Yamaha engine that is a POS.
Scotty’s wife: “Either that Celica goes or I go!

I’ve never seen Scotty happier then when he talks about his Celica. 😂
Scotty daughter's name : Celica Kilmer
Omg XD
Celica Corolla Kilmer
Celica is an old Spanish word that means "Celestial" or "Heavenly".
*Fun Facts*
@@KingJamesIX No sabia
@@villalazalejandro English I don't speak much Spanish. Also I found that out while researching the history of the Toyota Celica. It's 'Old Spanish' as well I do not know if modern Spanish still translates that way.
I never thought I'd be dreaming of owning a $350 car. Why are you getting in my head, Kilmer?
Loool so true
Another alternative if you want a low-end 90's sports coupe is the 95-99 Nissan 200SX. A lot of them are 5-speeds. They're cheap, the engines are usually good and the supply of parts at the self-service wrecking yards is decent. I got on to this production when I recently bought a '96 Nissan Sentra GXE dirt cheap a couple months ago. It's a GXE, man. The 200SX is a Sentra with two doors and maybe a couple of sports features. It could compete with the Celica or the Chevy Cav as low-end project car.
@@anonymike8280 that’s my dream car XD
@@kaydensrailway5594 Mine Sentra GXE is in the wrecking yard now. The transmission was starting to go out and I put in the state vehicle retirement program for $1500. I hope you're talking about the Nissan 200SX 5sp as the dream-mobile. For a project car, I think either a Celica or a Cavalier would be a better choice. The Celica has high reliability and Cav has a lot of aftermarket stuff available, both mechanical and dress-up. As always, if you need to ask, you can't afford it.
@@anonymike8280 what about the 300zx?
Today I was driving in the UK between London and Norfolk and saw a Celica in front of me with a Scotty Kilmer sticker on the bumper.
funny I saw scotty with a sticker of a celica on his back.
@@LawrenceFadalong Everyone knows that Scotty has a Celica tattoo. No need for a sticker.
Stop driving on the wrong side of the road!!!
Very unpredictable. Who knew Scotty likes Celicas?

Everything You Need to Know About Buying a Car

#1 - Look for a 94 Toyota Celica
#2 - Buy it

Scotty's car has had 240k miles on it for the last 5 years.
And it's also been 26 years old for the past 5 years. Lol. 🇬🇧 👍
Are you the same person that makes this comment each video?
@@samsmith3025 pretty sure he is...dude is angry hes gotta take the bus everywhere.
I was JUST about to say that...
Still runs!
prices of 1994 celica prices shoot up 100000000000%
So next time I find a way over priced 94 Celica for sale I'm going to say, can I get a discount? Scotty got his for $350.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I got mine for 300$ with brand new tires 7 years later still running like a champ 😏😏
you can find 2000-2005 celica for well under 10000
Axi0m $10000? How about under $1000
For real-in Europe a well conditioned one starts from 2 300$ but you can get a lil beat up for 8-900$ which is a great deal if it has under 200 k kilometres
Александър Иванов $8900 for a Celica? Wtf
My Celica was the best car I ever owned. Oil changes, new tires, 1 new battery, and I replaced the spark plugs a few times; that's it. It was 12 years old when I bought it and it had 280k miles on it the day my husband totalled it, and it ran like the day it came off the assembly line.
...I still miss that car. 😔
you have no husdband lol
you have no man
Scotty and his '94 Celica is a marriage made in heaven.💑
Probably loves it more than his wife, LOL
A stylish pair, too: the car's and Scotty's faded exteriors kind of match!
Me: what do you think about the new Tacoma
Scotty: buy a silver 1994 Celica
Don't recommend they have this injector system that make the truck sound like if it had bad valve's
Me: but I'm looking for a truck
Scotty: Have you considered a 1994 Celica?
Lol I still have my 98' tacoma, I've taken that thing all the way to hell and back, its got 374,000 miles.
😂😂😂
Make sure it's the S version
Scotty, I certainly appreciate the fact that others feel the same way about their Celica as you and I do. I happen to own a white 1999 Celica GT with the more powerful 2.2 liter dual overhead cam engine, that looks identical to yours. I bought it for my daughter years ago and inherited it when she struck out to make her own life happen. I've been driving it ever since...and as far as parts and repair...I have only replaced the timing belt and water pump assembly twice in 237,000 miles, along with tires, of course. I also, for fun, bought and installed springs and struts to lower the car to make it look really cool!! I certainly expect to drive it for another 10 years...and I love my little baby!! I'm as old as dirt,, as you are and when I'm driving it, even the young guys stare and point at my Celica...cause they love the sporty looks...well also maybe because my hair is as white as my Celica is!! I love Celicas so much that l also bought a 1997 Celica convertible...and drive it with the top down when I'm trying to impress the babes!! Thanks so much for this video.
Regards, Bill
When he showed us his wheel setup, i almost chocked on my coffee
Hahaha
Scotty you know you wanna just make this channel about that celica.
Scotty: "I'm not biased"
Also Scotty: "my car is the best car in the world"
110 hp
James White I heard his cat was chasing after him and actually beat him to his destination! 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈
Lol
I look at it differently. If I'd been a mechanic for 51 years, had worked on thousands of different models, and had had the chance to own more or less any car out there, I'd probably own the best car in the world.
But what if is the truth? Experienced mechanic most likely knows which cars are good and which ones are bad and can make a buying decision based on that
Had a 95 corolla with the 1.8. Had 250k miles on it. Amazing car! Only thing that killed it was an old dude in a Cadillac crossover. :(

Hey he says the emgine changed in 2002 but Google says they still had the 1.8 l4 in 2002
Great video I have a 1996 Toyota Corolla and it's still running.
Still running? Must have broken the ignition switch, typical Toyota
I got a 1986 Corolla, it’s kinda falling apart but it was a gift from my grandpa
@@CasenFerg sheesh ill buy it off you if you don't want it

The reason I got my Silver 1998 Celica SX-R was because of you Scotty and I cant thank you enough.

U got that right Hahahaaaa!!!
Good thing Scotty posted this. I would have never known he loved 94 celicas
We are all shocked!
@@mublikbublik7911 they dont look like a almost 30yr old car
Lollll
I bought a 95 celica with 250k on it for $700. I normally wouldn't buy anything with that many miles but scotty obsessing about them convinced me. Its at 270+k now and still runs great. The only thing wrong with it was the fuel gauge didn't work because the floating bar thing in the tank was rusted stuck from where it had been parked for so long with no gas in it
The internet has been waiting for this video for years
Imagine being Scotty’s neighbor and having to listen to him yell in the driveway every single day 😂
I would join him and watch all his nice cars
Now imagine if that neighbor owned a 94 Celica 😂
@@Canucks164eva lol
I would take a peak, I would definately learn things from him
Oh id be calling noise control on him , also Police and animal control . Hes totally lost it mentally!!!
I feel like Scotty’s Celica is going to end up in the Larz Anderson car museum, at some point.
Nobody:
Scotty: *slaps roof of car* "let me tell you about my '94 Celica"
The way he feels about that Celica, that's how I feel about DC Acura Integras.
Integras is one of the best car ever made they r great
If a celica was a person Scotty would marry her in a sec
He's already taken by a gorgeous Celica.
Scott's friend: Why is there a gold ring around your Celica's tail pipe?
Scott: We're engaged.
Given the chance, Scotty would get buried in his celica
Did you just assume that Celica's personhood?
You guys are trolls. This is the extent of your intellectual contribution? The guy has over 50 years of experience that he is imparting for free and this is all you can come up with?
It finally happened: Scotty admits he loves his 1994 Celica (sarcasm).
Rev up your 1.8 liter engines.
My 94' Celica with the 1.8 Liter engine has over 340,000 miles on it. Rev up your " No car payments" and a car that will last the rest of your life.

Wow this is great!! As a 16 yr old High School Junior, the Toyota Celica was my dream car. Well the Supra was, but the Celica was more attainable. I absolutely fell in love with 4 beautiful headlights staring back at me. I miss the 90s and the age of the Japanese sports cars like the Celica, Eclipse, 240 SX, Supra, 3000 GT, 300 ZX etc....
*I bet when Scotty bought this car , he figured out it's undercover transformer and now they are best buddies*
And, if Scotty had a daughter . . . what would he name her? . . . . . . Celica!
It's a nice name
Leonard Daneman in my experience girls named Mercedes are constant money pits
Hot!
@@deadhorse1391 Whatever happened to 'Porsche'?
@1234 lmao!!
The old Toyotas were brilliant. A guy in new Zealand clocked 2 million kilometres on a 1993 corolla a little while ago. And you would be amazed how original the car still is.
Very little needed to be replaced at all. Just the general maintenance, ,,and all wheel bearings were changed.
Amazing!
Who has followed Scotty for years? I remember his first videos and what a transformation he has done to his channel. Videos everyday I mean he is better than all those stupid kids driving/ fixing Lambos, Bentleys etc I will continue to watch your videos Scotty keep going!

Lmao i got a 91 for 300 bucks. Gotta find em sitting in people's backyard, prolly just needs a battery and drive away lmao.
*english has left the chat*
I think Scotty is trying to inflate the value of the celica so that he can sell his on eBay.
*edit: so he can buy a BMW M5 V10.
How many years has Scotty's Celica been at 240k?
Many many wonderful years! :D It probably drives 500 miles a year
I thinks the odometer is broke.
Its hard for them to break if they dont get used
my car has 500 thousand miles - honda accord 2005 2.2 icdti
Will Jeff Scotty’s defense : It’s cheaper to leave it broken
320k miles on my 94 ST coupe. I put rings in it at 300k, didn't need them. But I wanted to freshen it up. And I just put a transmission in it this year. 3rd gear synchro came apart. $150 for a used trans from a scrap yard. And a few hours with my buddy. Car is awesome. Fuel efficient. Reliable.
When I have to leave this beautiful life I want to be buried in my beautiful '99 Alpine Silver Celica.
I just sold my '94, Iris Pearl Blue, Celica, which there will never be another.
im almost 100% positive that scotty says this in his sleep. Im surprised that this wasn't his first video.
Everyone been waiting for this video😂😂. Time to read the comments😂😂. That 240k will be on that odometer for another 25 years🤣🤣🤣
Scotty time machine
What I want to know is does he drive the matrix mainly or the Celica mainly? I know the Lexus is his wife's, and the matrix is her old car. So who's is it now?
@@robitaill3 I think he drive the matrix. That celica won't ever make it to 245k😂😂😂😂
Thats so true. He probably puts less than 3000 miles on it every year. lol
Scotty kilmer will love my 2003 toyota celica gt-s. Already running 123k miles on it and still running like a champ
I just acquired one of these cars for a days work. I was going to sell it.. then i drove it.. and in a way, scottys right, it's one of the best cars ever considering all factors. Now it's my favorite car ive ever had. You'd have to drive one to see
Scotty: NEVER buy a rebuilt salvage car
Also Scotty: Every car I’ve ever owned was mismatched from being in previous accidents
😆
Ryan S Well he was the one who rebuilt it, so he’s not going to get scammed
He’s a mechanic that can fix it, most people aren’t mechanics.
I don't mind cars with rebuilt titles. But don't expect me to pay book for them either lol
Rebuilt salvage is different than a repaired vehicle..... -_-
@P. Spit
1. You can't drive a salvage car legally. You would need to repair it first and have it inspected by the government.
2. A rebuilt salvage title should still have the same liability only insurance rate.
It's basically a Ferrari, but better looking and faster
Lol
Um 110 horspower ferari has atleast lik 400 but idk celica is lite so mabe its faster
@@randomuser1687 It's faster because the Ferrari is on the back of a tow truck headed for the nearest shop.

Wafiq Essop yeah I saw that comment too 😂😂😂
I bought a 1977 Toyota Celica GT Liftback brand new & that was the BEST car ever!!! Drove that car in the blizzard of 1978!!! That rear wheel drive car would take me anywhere I wanted to go!!! Loved it!! One day, my Dad told me to get rid of it because one day I'd be driving down the road & my butt would be dragging the road. The engine outlasted the body. And I had the undercover rustproofed when purchased. I loved that car.
Take a shot every time he says: but hey it’s my work car!!!
This video should’ve been out 10 yrs ago
I should have seen this 6 years ago when I was looking for a car
@@jose151348 It would not help You much. Yours would brake if You are not mechanic :)
My mate had an '89 Camry wagon 2.2 litre, 5 speed manual with over 500,000 km's on it - original engine and gearbox. That thing was bullet proof!
Toyota and Honda have been rivals for a long time and it shows. This car looks like the 1994-01 Acura Integra. Compare this to the 1994 170 hp Integra GSR and it's no comparison. I have 353k on mine and it still runs perfect.
An Integra is also as reliable but 10x more fun. Celica ain´t a bad car tho
Its Scotty's enthusiasm about the celica that encouraged me to buy my 95 celica 2 years ago...
FINALLY! I was waiting for this video so bad.
Now we just have to wait for a part 2
I bought a 98 as my daily thanks to Scotty, car runs like new and still feels tight as a drum. A good all round bargain buy that was made during Toyota's bomb proof years. Love the Celica!
Glad to see someone as enthusiastic about their (im)perfect 90s car as I am about my old Civic
My 94 Celica has got 335,000 on it and runs like a clock. Scotty, you and AirBorne are da man!
Look at Scotty, bragging about his baby. Why am I not surprised. Lol!
I thought the very same thing. Haha
Hey scotty! I have a honda accord 2003 with 330,000 still with the original parts!!
Because THEY are actually the best car ever made. Shhh don't tell Scotty 😂
alexander bonilla my 2003 has 16,400 I just changed the oil today
Ya but it’s still NOT a Toyota Celica 😝
I have 05 Honda accord 232k.Same engine and body style as the 03.I swear it runs like almost new!
@@jamieh825 07 here. 206000k. Yep runs like new. 👍
The 2zz engine was cool. The Lotus Elise/Exige, and the Toyota Matrix XRS have the 2zz engine. Both models typically have no reliability issues.😤
I think it's a matter of relativity. They did have some issues with catalytic converters which could lead to catastrophic failure. It was also somewhat of a mistiming of a motor. It was a decent competitor to a b series that was released and was quickly overshadowed by the k-series. As far as legendary Toyotas for longevity I think the '90s Camrys and Corollas probably earn some of the top spots ever. I don't think the ZZ engines would be on anyone's top 10.
@@jinxtacy which celicas have the same emgine as a corlla
@@missouripatriot6926 if you’re talking abt the zz engines than the 2000-2005 celicas have the 1zz and the celica gts have the 2zz which is the same as the lotus elise
@@jinxtacy I have a base 2006 Matrix, 1ZZ-FE 1.8L 4 cylinder, it's great, I'm very confident in it, because it's still a baby with just 150K miles, and I've seen 4 on Craigslist with 700,000 km, up here in Canada. Bulletproof. My mechanic friend only sold his 440,000 km 03 Corolla because he got bored of owning a car that never needed fixing. That really shows the indestructibility of old Corolla. Anything made post-2020, is NEVER going to be able to do that.
I had an 82 Accord hatchback back in college in the 90s. I cut a stick to length to hold up the hatch. Worked great. I also found some louvres in a junkyard that turned out to be awesome for keeping heat and ice from the back window. This was important because the air conditioner made the horsepower go from 75 to 10 when you turned it on.
Lol, I used a handle from a toilet plunger to prop up the hatch on my old '91 Escort I had in college 🪠🪠🪠😂
Scotty revs up our hearts and minds ! Thank you Scotty!
Hi Scotty, if your 94 Celica is great because of its Corolla engine and Corolla parts you made me feel good about owning my 94 Corolla.
I've got a 94 Corolla too😂. My one needs a new engine because people in our country run their car on CNG
@@zraiyan5 just a myth...
Your Corolla is the best car ever
I got a 93 corolla and yes everything still works.. will start every time you turn the keys ♥
My Toyota, Sienna is only 19 years old, but I would describe mine nearly identical to yours. The shocked look on people's faces as they dissect it is priceless, "Is that original; that looks original?" as they look at different parts, lol.
Most cars can be super reliable when properly driven and maintained. I currently daily a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500hd with a Vortec 6.0 and 4l80e trans, and it currently sits at an all original 462k miles and starts right up and runs like a champ every day.
1:19 “I change the oil every 3000 miles.”
Funny since its mileage has been within that threshold for as long as I’ve been watching your vids
Odometer broken
@@danieltolic3029 If it´s broken how does he know when 3000 miles is?
Arteljus reset the trip mileage every time you change it
He never drives this car and if you run an autocheck by getting his plate number, you'll see that he hasn't even registered this car since 2017. Something is fishy with Scotty.
@@helivesonforever You can clearly see ten seconds into the video that the sticker shows 02/19. That means you are wrong. Why make such a stupid comment?
I have a 2007 Honda manual Civic coupe EX! With over 298,000 miles!!!!!! Everything still works like new!!!
Yea but its not a Toyota.....haha
Yea and that toyota will be jealous of that honda's new valve adjustment.
Hondas are the way to go man👍 my brother has an Ex with 360k on the clock.. They just run lmao
The engine space is more limited on the 07 Civic than the Toyota Celica.
I had a 2006 Honda Accord after owning a 1990 Toyota Camry. The Honda was a lot more powerful (160hp vs 100hp) but wasn't as fuel efficient (27mpg vs 30mpg hwy). Way more fun to drive and much easier to merge onto the freeway lol. The Accord had to have its catalytic converter replaced and the clutch went out at 200,000 miles (manual transmission). But 200,000 miles for a clutch is really not bad at all. CD player died but the A/C still worked. Anyways Honda makes great cars from my experience.
I bought a 1978 Celica, brand new. Next style after this. Had a 2.2 engine. Owned it many years. Very reliable!
In Australia, I'm quite sure that this model Celica came with a 2.2 litre (Camry) engine. The Mid 90's was a golden period for Toyota designing and making simple, long lasting cars.
I had an 84 celica GTS with the 22RE. I put 190k on it. Got it new, had it 11 years. Fricken awesome car! I should have never sold it! 😢
Rev up your underpowered 25-year old beater Toyota Celicas!
110 HP is more than enough for a car. If you want speed, get yourself a motorbike.
@@chesshooligan1282 110bhp is barely enough to keep up with modern traffic.
@@theCinator
I don't know what kind of traffic you drive in. 110 HP can take a car to 200 km/h, which is an illegal speed in more than 99% of the world.
@@chesshooligan1282 Well, not maybe quite 200 km/h unless it's downhill. But 170-180 is perfectly doable
@@chesshooligan1282 yes but what about the acceleration
I’ve never come across a man who is more passionate about the celica more than Scotty
imagine if scotty made a hollywood movie about a road trip around america with his 94 Celica fixing cars while traveling and the stories that happen along the way
That celica is always broken because it is always in the back of the driveway with the hood open
Naw, he's just stealing parts off the Celica to keep all the other cars running.
Matt G no it's not! Its hardly ever driven and Damned it looks great for its age! No dents, rust, faded paint... But so what! He should get a good professional Detail on her... Bet she'd come out looking great!👍👍
got a 1990 just turned 300,000 miles and it's the only one of 4 vehicles with the hood down.
It has no dents because he fixed it
If you noticed my comment, it said THAT celica, not anyone else's celica.
I had a '95 Celica, GT, with a 5-Speed Manual Transmission, and a powered Moon-Roof. Should never have let that one go; people don't value vehicles like I do...
Second Stance still you let it go
Man I wish people appreciated their cars as much as me * handing keys for my car to it's new owner *
Sounds very appreciative lol
@@tavernofaesthetics8706 : My Friend needed a Car. Do you have any Friends???
That invention to hold the hatch up is genius
That swing arm is frickin genius easy fix
I was thinking the same thing. Is there a patent for that thing?
