Hi, I just had my car totalled by some stupid ass in a giant box truck, full of furniture, who ran a stop sign and blasted me going 50. His words were "There was a stop sign there?" What an idiot, huh? He told the cop that his air brakes went out. People are messed up, huh?
 Even though I have stitches in my head and my knee is shattered, I was more pissed about my car which (athough you wouldn't recognize it) was a silver, manual Mazda 626 LX 2.5LV6. I am lookin at a gold (kinda champagne colored) 1996 Celica ST coupe with 47k miles on it selling at $8000. It has an alarm, keyless entry, Cd player... He says it is worth $11,000 according to blue book Now I do want a sporty car, should I wait for a hatchback GT in a color I like better, or is this a good deal, and should I get this one and soup it up? here is a link to the carsoup listing, with stats and a picture: '96 Celica ST on carsoup |

I would hold out for the GT. I mean, the ST still has the same great looks but it's performance can only be described as adequate where the GT is fast enough for most.
-------------------- Facelift bumper-foglights-clear indicators, clear side repeaters, 16in O.Z alloys, stainless steel grill. JDM facelift tail lights. clear sidelights. Retro-fit A/C conversion. APEX performance springs. Remus exhaust. K&N performance filter. KYB excel G shocks.
Hyundai coupe Mk 3 (US Tiburon) leather seats. Gen 7 s/wheel. SR black vinyl door cards. Late spec spoiler-less tailgate with 3rd brake light. |
