Any experience on buying cars in USA?

Hello everyone, I have been looking for a 6th gen celica, 5th gen prelude or 2nd gen eclispe, in red colour, at the range of $5k to $7k, manuel.  However, I don't have any luck in the search for half a year.

Therefore, I am thinking getting a car in USA.  Does anyone have any experience or where to look at?  The only place I can think of is ebay, but i am not sure is it reliable.

thank you.

Thank you for all the replies here.

Yes,has to be red.  I love that colour.

I tried on finding cars on Craiglist, but since most of the eclispe and celica before 1999 are from USA, why don't I get the car from USA instead?  It makes sense, isn't it?  

Sunshine2009, thank you for your article!

I am looking for 2nd hand, not first hand, so I would not have worry on the warranty part.  I just wonder does anyone know any good 2nd store or dealer at USA....preferred in Seatlee or somewhere close to Vancovuer .  If so, pleaes PM me.  

thank you all!

Thank you for the reply.  yeah, if it is imported from outside of North America, then yes, maybe 15 years.  The car i really want is celica GT4 generation 6.  it's only for Japanese market, but some are being produced in USA, and absolutely zero in Canada.  But personally I think it's the best looking Celica in all generations.  The last generation looks so ugly, cannot match with gen 6.



An used gen 6 Celica is usually importted from USA and then being totally abused along with high mileage, and the disappointing thing is that the current market  only has gen 7 or before gen 5.   Somehow there is almost no gen 6 here!  Not that I am not willing to take an abused car and fixed it, but there is no car for me to take!

Hey Gianttama, how do you find a reliable 2nd hand dealer in USA?  That's the key problem I am having.
