Is this LHD? And how hard is it to take a car from CA and get it registered in the US?

I wish that you lived closer than.... The exact opposite side of the country. That's a good looking car with a lot of potential.

This is in lufkin tx, and the price is just a little higher then his budget. ($300)

Beautiful car. I wish you were closer, it would just cost a fortune to get out to me. GAH!

Great looking car... I'm seeing what i can do to secure funding, maybe a TX trip is in my future...

Nice looking car... Too bad your so far away though...

So here begins the fun... I made a call to the shop to see what time they were open until today so that my dad would be able to test drive the car. I got ahold of a sales rep who was not there any other time i talked to the shop. She indicated she sold the car on Tuesday and just didnt tell anyone. WTF? Also little did the shop owner and other sales rep know... it needed motor mounts as well. As much as i would of enjoyed this car, seems to me that problems were deeper than anyone there knew or could articulate. Glad i didnt have my dad drive the 2 hours through NY traffic to go see it. But i'm still pretty livid.

Thanks garin!! For anyone else wondering, i'll attach a picture of how my bike looks. The only real mod i've done is HID's which are 55w 6k, though being 55 watt there is a 30% color shift making them appear to be 8k.

So far i've already begun the process of talking the guy down if my dad likes the car. If he does i'm off to NY today to go look at it first thing tomorrow. We will see where we stand after that. I was told the tires have 60% tread left. The only real worry i have right now is the fact i didnt ask about the timing belt and i really dont want to get myself into that headache! Lets hope all goes well, i'd like to see that sitting in my driveway asap!

Azian - WOW!! THANK YOU!! I have sent the list to my dad, and we will see whats going to happen tomorrow. That was way more than i expected and gladly appreciated! Thank you again!

Hello Everyone @ 6GC,

This is my first post, but not my first celica. I'm hoping tomorrow to go put an offer on a celica i found on cars.com out of LI, NY. Linky Linky I have had a 5th Gen celica before and i LOVED it, but always thought the 6th gen was nicer.

So here is my problem. I'm sending my dad to go look at it, and as i can tell by the photos the interior needs some work, and it's not the most visually appealing car but! I still love it. I need a car just for the winter and rainy days as i ride a 08 ZX6R Special Edition during the summer every single day. Can someone point me to a resource, or help me identify some key points to look at when looking at the car? I already know the body kit wasnt put on the best and could use some work, and there is a dent in the drivers rear quarter.. But what can i have my dad look at, or check on his test drive to ensure i'm not gonna hate myself for this decision.

THANKS!
