Pff bought the 1998 Celica ST for about €3500,- in 2012 with only 160.000 km (about 100.000 mls), bought some other rims € 400, did a complete rebuild and swap of a 4AGE 20V € 3500,- (did most things myself), some little parts € 500,-, thing i forgot € 200,-+) so that's well over € 8.000,- ($11000).

But i have a great car now, a new engine (9000 km since the rebuild) and still only 190.000 km on the car. No rust and the paint looks awesome and almost no dents/scratches or whatsoever.

Happy to read i'm not the one that spend most on his car biggrin.gif. But prices over here are WAY higher then in the US.

An genuine Euro ST205 GT4 will cost between € 14.000 and € 20.000,-! Some imported JDM GT-4 are offered from €5.000,-.

Godgloeiende... redface.gif redface.gif redface.gif

Because the Euro market was sparse, and the JDM market saturated with cars? I don't understand the high price.
