Default Should I buy this Celica

Hey guys, I'm a new member here and I'm looking to buy my first 2dr-car. This morning I checked out a 2002 Celica GT auto trans with 121+k miles on it with 2 previous owner and clean tittle. The car has intake, strut bar, wheels, spoiler, etc... It's a base GT, so no power window and no sunroof, and I forgot to check if it has cruise control
The guy (owns a local auto sale) is asking for $6500 + tax, and tag initially. I make an offer of $5000, and he comes back at $6500 OTD. What do you guys think? Should I wait a couple of days to buy it at $6250 or should I continue looking for another car? Thanks for your input/opinions
P.S: He told me that the timing belt has already replaced.

You can probably find a much better deal. I would check craigslist I've seen GTS's on there with about the same miles for $5600. Also definitely get a standard

Nice looking car , but...... Autos are limited to what you can do with them and are very sluggish....period.You will end up spending big bucks to get any power out of it. Look around like mentioned above there are lots of sweet deals out there you just have to look....good luck

Pass on this one and find something with more power and/or a lower price tag.

Thanks for all the input, guys. I've heard the same input from newcelica forum as well. And I've learnt that Celica doesn't need timing belt, that lying ******* told me the car has the belt changed
So I'm back to car hunting lol
