The price and potential for owner induced, but easily fixed issues like overfilled oil warrant taking a look at it for yourself to determine what's going on.

RED Celica > all. Except that one linked. $1800 firm with visible rust and a busted up rear bumper? Erm...

I see areas (internets photos) of possible improvements...

The chambers remind me of a certain Mazda.......

Yeah, guys like that....

Makes me wish we could institute retroactive birth control up to the age of 30. Gene pool would be a lot better off.

Here to wishing you luck, man. Far cry from the leaf, but in a good way.

I can't pick it up until Monday, but it is great. Overfilled with oil by two of three quarts. The oil change is super recent. I am sure the last oil change jockey put in oil and forgot to drain the old stuff out.

It needs hatch struts and the PCv elbow thing. One headlight has a broken low bean wire. I couldn't drive it to check much else.

Nope. Should have. I brought no cash as I was a bit weirded out.

Doesn't look like I can get it until Monday. Hope it's still there.

Good luck on grabbing it, hopefully you were the only one who put up with the guy long enough to check it out.

Good idea, no deposit! Cash and run, after you make sure it has a real title. Guy like that might take three or four deposits. What're you gonna do, sue him? And get what if you win?
