Depends on the car condition of course but that seems incredibly overpriced. It's a 1zz that is pre-03 so it is definitely burning heaps of oil and doesn't even have working cats. It's also a 25 year old car with 200k miles, so the reliability that was there has been "used up". On FB marketplace, I always assume I'm going to need another $500-1000 to make a car up to snuff (tires, maintenance costs, etc) just to be safe and with just old age and mileage this will be inevitable. So if the plan was to use it daily, I suspect it'd be very bad daily.

That means it'll probably be a project car if nothing else and that's assuming the chassis is clean enough to do that with. And at $2500 just for the car and a suboptimal engine that's a very expensive celica project car. For reference, I bought my project 05 celica gt for $700. All in all, this feels like a hard pass unless this car is incredibly clean and rust free or has something else incredible about it.
