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

I was in the same boat you are... I live in Ohio and Ohio is just as rusty as Kentucky... I ended up buying my first rust free super clean celica in Tennessee, my 2nd rust free (besides underneath it was kinda rusty) was in Illinois. Ohio and Kentucky never have any clean 15+ year old cars. I'd advise you go look south it's worth the few extra dollars in gas... Working with rust or rusty suspension isn't fun at all. My step dad has a super clean 1990 gts 103k miles or so it's red. Zero rust anywhere... Clear coat is pealing but other than that it's super clean. Idk if he'd sell it or not but I can ask but I know he won't go under 3k. Sounds like a lot but there isn't many good shape 5th gens around anymore let alone one with low miles and zero rust anywhere. He's 2nd owner his mother bought it new in 1990 she was an old lady so I don't even think the car has ever seen 80mph lol.
