Should i buy it or no?, Seems like a good deal Options

[Serhey]

I am currently saving up for an is300, ive browsed a lot, and i dont have enough for one yet, however i do have enough for this one...

clicky

he's agreed on 4k without the fancy rims, which i dont even like to begin with, i would just buy stock ones off craigslist
i know a guy who paints cars and does body work, he estimated my celica which had like 4 rust spots, rust at bottom of doors, a dent in a quarter panel which had to be cut out and replaced and several other dings, he said to repair all that and put on 2 layers of factory quality coats, and 2 layers of clear coats would cost 15 hundred, this has what i think much less work, but i might want a different color though.
if its mechanically alright, all i need is body work paint and new wheels, i think i could fit under 6 k when im done
should i buy it what do you think?

Just got your PM a few minutes ago. I will say about the IS 300 that you should get the '02+. The '01 was a great car, but still a little rough around the edges. I'd be wary of any car with a rebuilt title. As 95CelicaST and Garin said, there is likely frame damage. You did the right thing by passing on that one. I wouldn't necessarily rush into buying a car and putting down your savings. The IS 300 is indeed a great car, but it's not worth running yourself out of money for. If you were a little farther south in Illinois, you could find a better deal than $9,995 for one, but prices are a little high near Chicago. If you can make it to the Midwest Meet in June, I'll let you take mine for a test drive if you haven't driven one already.
