Try buying the Autotrader or any similar used car sales magazine down there, and see if they have any 01 Rollas and how much they're going for! After converting to Canadian $ it sounds pretty reasonable here, but I don't know how car prices are in the US in general!

I definitely recommend what fgf001 linked...it makes sure you're not getting ripped off.

That and a good mechanic to make sure everything is still intact under the hood.

Yes, you have to bring it to a dealer.. have him check out everything under the hood.. also ask if the car has ever been in an accident.. I don't know about US law, but in canada I believe that if the car has been in an accident, if you ask, they have to respond truthfully.

Not only that, but if they're selling you a CERTIFIED car, they HAVE to provide you with the car's history records from the ministry of transportation.. $20 it will cost you if you buy the car "as is"
