I've always liked that body style of the 5, but arent running costs on those on the high side? Regardless, I think you have very nice taste

So you're going from a 2 door sporty car with awesome reliabilty, to an ugly sedan with really expensive maintenance/parts? Whatever floats your boat I guess.

How many miles? How much is that cost in USD? They are great cars, I have driven one, handles good for it's size, but not as good as a Celica. Acceleration is faster than 6.6 0-60, and it has nice options, like a heated steering wheel, 4-spd sport mode (holds the revs longer in each gear which makes for a very sporty drive), power everything including every motion of the steering wheel, and more.

i think $7,500 cdn is a great price for a mint 99 GT, at least here in Canada where celis go for upto 10k and sometimes more.
i'm sure you'll find a buyer for your GT. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I agree that it isn't much of a dream car, but a really nice car nonetheless. I'd buy one if I could. My dream car is a Dodge Viper or a Corvette

Sorry, but I would never give up Celica for BMW. Mainly due to the fact that in my homeland they are driven by either rich assholes or "try to be" gangstas. Also, I just don't like the looks of BMW.
But anyway, you make your moves, right? -------------------- '94 ST202 - tuned, highly apprieciated, but sold.
'99 ST205 - imported, legalized, Stage 1 completed. For slow driving: Yamaha XVS650 Drag Star. The most recent addition to the family and for the family: Toyota RAV4 2.0 VVTi Celica-Club Poland - Everything you want to know about your favourite car ... in Polish |
