Gotcha. I thought that's what it could have been but wasn't for sure. Now that's fancy!

I've noticed in some pictures online there's small black things just underneath all 4 headlights. It seems to be more prominent with European Celicas but not really sure. I've tried to look it up but haven't had any luck and my curiosity is getting to me. I'm sure someone on here would know what they are.

Yeah idk there's like 1.5million 7th gens on the Internet. Of course what I'm looking for is almost no where to be found. I've been using statewidelist.com and it's pretty helpful. Just checking everyday seeing what's new. My biggest concern is traveling 300 miles to find a rust bucket. I understand it won't be immaculate just hope the seller understands why I'm drilling them about their car.

several here for sale in memphis and nashville


Any particular sites to use? I'm using craigslist mostly because that's the only thing I'm having luck with searching abroad and not just locally

I'm starting to see more in the southern states TN AL and some in MO that are in pretty good shape. I've noticed a lot of them have rust issues on the rear quarter panel above the wheel and the kick panel. I know KY and northern states are notorious for eating cars. I'm willing to travel a few hours to find the right one I'm just afraid of making the trip and seeing things I'm not able to with the pictures. So hopefully the seller will be willing to give me a lot of details about the car. I used statewidelist.com and it's really helped me locating some of them.

Jmk91 I like the 5th gen but I love everything about the 6th. I've told myself for years I wanted one, my infatuation with them started with me playing Gran Turismo a long time ago and I finally got the wife on board with it so it's just a matter of finding the right one. Thank you. I'm going focus on the southern states now. If you know of any search engines to help me locate some of them that would help too

Yeah. I had an 05 srt4 a few years ago and I would love to go back to a manual. I did find a nice one in KS with under 100k miles for 4200 but it's an auto. A little more than I would like to spend but it's clean. I am hoping to find one around 2500-3500 dollars. Do you have a link to the one you said was 2500?

They're out there, start looking further south opposed to looking further north. Anything under 200K in good shape should be good, check for the usual used car stuff and that's really about it aside from synchronizer grinding when downshifting to third. If fuel economy is your top concern and you never intend on swapping then you can go for a ST, if you do want to swap to the BEAMS, 1MZ, or 3S-GTE get a GT to make life easier when it comes to swapping. Really the differences in the ST and GT are the motor and transmission and the brakes, the ST has drums in the rear whereas the GT has discs all the way around and they're a little bigger. If you can drive a manual hold out for a manual, it'll be a lot more fun that way.


I would prefer a manual for sure, it seems like most of the ones I see are gts. That sound like the way I would want to go. I'm not too concerned about mpg gas is pretty cheap around here(at least for now). I haven't dove too deep in the engine options and things. Waiting to have one in my possession before really getting into it. I would love to just find an all original one to where the mods and what not are all my vision. Thanks for the insight.

I'm new to the site and unfortunately do not have a 6 gen Celica. I've been looking for one for the last month and I'm not having much luck. The ones I find are rough, really high mileage, a convertible, or across country. I'm hoping maybe someone knows something I don't and could help me. I'm in middle Kentucky and I'm willing to travel to get something but I can only travel so far. I've trolled this site for years just increasing my desire for one of these cars. If anyone knows of one for sale somewhat near me and can help out I would greatly appreciate it. My only desire is that it's a hatchback, beyond that it doesn't matter the color, trim, or trans. And preferably under 200k miles. Any help would be great
