Hey Everyone. I found a '96 GT I really like and I have my dad going to check it out tomorrow. I would like to know what you guys think...

Sorry, the URL feature wasnt working.

Anyway, What are the specs for these things? I cant find 0-60 or 1/4 mile anywhere!

Thanks for the help

Michael

See, I'm 15 and I turn 16 in may and get my license in june. I will need a car by the end of the summer because starting my junior year, I am going into the apprenticeship program which is where you leave school every day at 2:30 and go to a job...blah blah. I am a huge car enthusiast and my dad works for Toyota, so I get lots of extra benefits if I buy a Toyota product. For example, I might buy the car now and then have him give it to some of his guys and have them look it over. I'd pay dealer cost for the car and dealer cost for parts, and nothing for labor. So, If i buy the car now and let my dad have it for two months- who knows, might need a new timing belt or something- then it wil be ready by the time I turn 16. Now, I don't plan to own the car for a terribly long ass time, maybe 2-3 years, but at that point I need RWD and more than 4 cylinders. So I think the IS300 will be a nice car for a 18-20 year old guy. I decided on the Celica because I have to have a stick...driving an automatic seems like a handicap, and I wanted something nimble and fun to drive. I also like the way the car looks. I was originally looking at getting an '03 'Rolla S, but I think the Celica is more what I want as far as price/ performance is concerned.

Thanks for all the help, and keep the questions coming biggrin.gif
