Question Used Car websites for Canada?

Hey guys, im looking to buy an 04/05 echo hatchback from Canada and import it to the USA.

I would rather buy a used one from a dealer to make the process easier, since after I purchase the car...I have to wait 5 days for Toyota Canada to send me some letter stating the car meets all the safety/emissions for US. I would feel safer knowing after spending the money, that the car would be safe, sitting for up to a week until I get the papers I need for import.

What are some used car sites or some dealers that would have these cars for sale up in Ontario and Quebec areas?

Im not looking to spend more then $5000 on the car...if you happen to know of one for sale. ( 5dr hatch )

any help would be greatly appreciated.

lol yea those 3 sites were the only ones I came across so far. I also found some site that listed every used car dealer, but its a pain to find the dealers site and then go thru and look for the echo. wish there was an easier way.

thanks for you help tho so far

5dr (im trying to consider 3dr...not sure yet)
any model
max miles(125,000 miles or about 200,000km)
manual transmission
prefer white, blue, silver color
could be located in Ontario or Quebec- closer to border the better but doesnt have to be(im in NJ and was going to hopefully have it shipped to NY or pick the car up in NY near border)

Not really sure what other options were available for the car since we never got them. I noticed some seem to have AC and some dont?

pics of what you mean would help

as far as i know, all the models have the same bumper. the RS model has aluminum rims (14"), side skirts, spoiler, etc

models can/do come without air conditioning

also, base 3drs don't have power steering....so its something to keep an eye out for if you look at 3drs...
