Celica Forums General Discussion General Looking to own, need advice...

Hello everyone,

I'm currently stationed in Japan, and I leave in less than 2 months. I'll be returning to the United States and am looking at getting a set of wheels possibly lined up for when I get there. I found a 2001 Toyota Celica (Red/Black - 4 cylinders/Automatic - RWD) with 79k miles on Craigslist for about $5,000.

I am not a car guy (more computers/technology), and this will be the first car I am purchasing. I didn't really need a car throughout High School/College, nor did I while I was stationed here. So, this is going to be the first car I am purchasing for myself. The guy has had it listed for about 30 days now, and I foresee it being listed another 2 months until I get there.

I'm just looking for thoughts and verification from current Celica owners on this possible purchase. Attached are some photos from the ad.

Thanks!
