I’m looking at getting a 2004 Celica GT manual as my first car and I found one near me with 150.000 miles on it for 5,500 I know that I’ll have to get it checked by a mechanic but it has no engine lights on right now and runs and drives great what would y’all do
If you really like the car and it has no issues, then go ahead! They are very reliable cars, and it is a GREAT first car in my opinion. For a first car, you want something that is reliable, easy to maintain, and fairly easy to work on (if you want to become mechanically-inclined and learn how to fix/replace things).
Before buying it, especially since it is going to be your first car, I would have a mechanic check it out for you.
Good luck!
Negotiate the price.
The price is a bit high for a 17th years old Toyota.
