Hello everyone, I need some advice on getting a 2nd hand car.

I am interested in 2nd generation Eclipse



and 6th generation Celica



Their appearances completlely attracted my attenetion.  However, both cars are around 10 years old, and that menas there could be a lot of problems.  

since I am a complete idlot on fixing cars, may i know any LYK has driven or own these cars before?  And do you have a lot of major/minor problems with them?  And how's the gas consumption?   Please give me some advises!  And does it worth the price to rebuild an engine?

I know the easiest solution is to get a new car, but i don't like any of the recent car's appearnance.  Indeed more and more japanese cars become to look more like American cars.

thank you for all the reply.   May i know what does it mean JDM?  

And indeed, for the 6th generation celica, is that made in Japan or in US?

yes, it's 10 years, but it's the best looking celica for me, perhaps i m a big fan of supra.  But the best thing is Celica does not have turbo, so that it would save a lof fixing trouble.

Also, it seems like there is no reply for eclipse.  I guess.....not many drivers own this car before?

By the way, we would be the best place to look for a high quality 2nd car?  Recently i only use craiglist....but I want to know is there any avenue?  And have anyone tried to finance a 2nd car?

Thank you!

yeah, seems like everyone is recommending the celica instead of the eclipse.  I guess i would go for the celica then..  Thank you everyone.
