2000 Toyota Celica, Nür Spec ZZT231

ar bumper, high-rise TRD spoiler, and rainguards, this ZZT231 is factory fresh and shows just 53k verified and documented miles from new. An optional carbon license plate garnish and 17′′ WEDS Leonis wheels polish off the aesthetic, and save for a few light paint imperfections and a missing antenna, this Celica is in far above average shape compared to your average US market example. Zippy, fun, and backed by a drivetrain that seems to outlast all, this standout Celica would make for a terrific weekend autocross champion, Cars & Coffee cruiser, or a fun and economical daily driver. It has all the makings of a true Japanese Classic, and looks the part too! The interior styling feels ahead of its time, and nothing like other econoboxes Japan was pumping out in the early years of the new millennium. The sculpted dash, ergonomic switchgear, and durable materials made the Celica feel special, and it’s clear this example was well cared for in a prior life. The seats are upholstered in a two-tone sport mesh, and they look dang good for 25 years old, showing no major rips, stains, or significant bolster wear. The cockpit is also safe, thanks to standard Dual SRS airbags, and ABS was spec’d on this model as well. The dash shows no cracks or fading, and the center stack features upgraded Eclipse audio, with touchscreen functionality. Sound quality is decent, and to sweeten the deal, a backup camera is hooked up and fully operable. To dial in some cabin comfort, an adjacent digital automatic climate control unit is easy to operate. The A/C works like a charm for the last few days of summer, and piping hot heat is available for winter motoring. Power windows, locks, and electric folding side mirrors work to ease your daily commute. The rear bench is in good condition and can fold down to allow access into the spacious rear hatch. The headliner and carpets are tidy, and optional Carbon door sills, a TRD shift knob, and carbon steering wheel surround complete the period-correct interior aesthetic. Save for some minor steering wheel wear, the cockpit condition impresses, and to protect your investment, we’ve retained the original carpet mats and OEM trash receptacle! Good enough for a Lotus, the 2ZZ-GE engine powers this Celica and offers an enormous bang for your buck when performance is considered. This one even offers a few extra ponies from a pricey Blitz NurSpec exhaust. Ours is fresh off a recent service here in the States to ensure you get the most out of this fabulous 1.8L! An oil and filter service was performed, and we replaced the leaky old valve cover gasket with a new one. A new engine air filter was also dropped in, and this zingy VVT-i equipped mill is ripe and ready to pound pavement here stateside. It’s linked to a brilliant 6-speed gearbox, featuring close ratios, and power is thrown to the front wheels. The OEM suspesion is compliant and direct, and we flushed the power steering out with fresh fluid to keep things easy to maneuver. The WEDS are wrapped in new all season tires, and after a fresh alignment, this spritely sports coupe runs and drives like a dream!
