should i buy 6gc? Options

[xinyu]

Hi I'm new here, and i need some opinions from you guys please. I'm thinking of getting a 6gc for my first car so I've been reading about them. I know a little bit about engines and stuff but i want to learn so im taking classes in the summer. Is it a good car to start with? I'm not really looking into speed (turbo and stuff) but I will still try to improve it since right now I'm only 16 going on 17. Where does the celica stand in all the cars out there? thanks everyone!

any year model u guys prefer? i need it by the end of summer so i can wait. you guys are really nice for helping me, especially since i dont really know much.

The above pic of the '96-'99 front bumper doesn't do it justice. Look around on here and find a better pic. Also bear in mind that most of the later year ones have skirts and the 3 post wing. The '98-'99 GT's [5S-FE engine] got a few engine upgrades from the factory like metal headgasket tat are worth getting. All of these things are aesthetic choices you are gonna have to make for yourself.
The difference between the GT and ST are pretty noticeable as is the diff between auto and manual. Again this all up to you - it's gonna be your car after al and you are the one who has to love it.
IMO - save your money and get a '98-'99 low mileage GT with sideskirts and you'll have a great first car.
