Wtb Celica Hatchback, Needing help finding one Options

[Dwreck27]

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

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.
