    F**KERR

    ... he told me 4wd i look its fwd told me its 5 spd auto which i knew was bs right away.. plus told me it runs... doesnt even start.. seems like the battery no sound at all when i turn the ignition trunks jammed (anyone else have this problem??) and he doesnt have the keys to the door (is it usualy diff key for doors and ignition?? or did he replace the doors or something??) so i told him get it running and get the keys and ill pay 350 not 400..

    some back ground this guy was first asking for 500 and i was interested but went to look at it hes an ass hole plus this deal is going on in philladelphia (hood/ghetto) so what more can you expect but i look on craigs list and the cheapest celica is 500 (st 200k 89) but im getting st 141k 88

    PLUS BIGG QUESTION the title says ODOM READING EXEMPT

    then on middle of title it says

    ODOM READING EXEMPT BY FEDERAL LAW
    WTF!!!?!?!?!

    Hahha, that's the owner's manual; it has All_track printed on the cover so ppl automatically think their ST is an All-Trac. Wouldn't be the first time some noobie got fooled. Besides, The 165 was hatchback only, not coupe.

    sorry dude i believe exempt means that they do no want to know how many miles on dis bitch. looks like she has some front end issues, but it could be the pictures. is his name on the title? do the plate numbers match the title? in all honesty a cheap car is not the best thing to buy. if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck then its probably a piece of shit. shoot did he smog it? tell him you are doing him a favor by taking the thing from him. and am i wrong or did he take both plates off the car? any engine shots? if possible i would hold out a little longer. you can most assuradly find something in running, clean condition for 6-1200 bux. no offense to our community, but these cars arent really sought after. keep checking around. shoot if you see someone driving one on the strret, ask them if they want to sell it. i had a few buddies do that. the hardest part is to not get too excited about the deal. you will end up kicking ourself. just some freindly advice

    All honsestly Mate, I would walk away, they key thing for one, its either had a new ignition barrel or new door locks at one time, not a prob in its self, but when the cars history is so blank, soundsalarm bells.

    It is ceap I am sure because the seller know that car has issues, save up and as said you will find a better one for a little for folding.

    why not buy a different car, like an older civic or something, then when yor funds allow you to, buy one of these. as i said before, these are not in high demand. no offense to our little gang here, but these cars are still on the road and wont be going anywhere any time soon

    Odometer reading exempt, means the cluster was replaced or tampered with. Perhaps it was disconnected and the guy drove it another 200k miles.....thats why that's there.

    This sounds like a BAD deal and you'll end up with a lot more trouble than it's worth.

    sounds to me like this car is going to soak up every penny you make/have. i would be very careful. if you like you can call me and i will give you the low down.
    one more thing, look under the car and check for rust everywhere.
