Kick ASS. I found it and its not far away from me. Price is few grand below the PRIVATE party Kelly blue book value. Amazing. Seller says in the description that they'd be happy to email certified carfax report. I'm asking for the email now, and If that all goes well I think I got a new car folks.

This may happen soon..... I can see a few of you logged on Please help. What did you check when you got your 6gc? If the report goes good, I'm going to go there and test drive it. I'll probably bring my dad and his friends but they're not mechanics. I need to know specific problems that usually happen to 6gcs. Any horror stories, anything will be helpful.

Wow I feel giddy. I'm even listening to sad music and I still feel adrenaline.

If it's a manual, make sure all the gears engage smoothly. The synchros go bad too easily in Toyota gearboxes.
Look at the welds on the sides of the strut towers in the engine bay(don't know about anyone else, but mine was starting to crack).
Since it's a convertible, make sure it still goes up and down properly(do it twice, make sure it doesn't 'stumble' trying to go up and down).
Make sure the timing belt was changed at the last 60k interval.

That's all I can think of right now.
