Right now there is a 205 on ebay for sale in California. To be frank, im not trying to incite a debate on legalities but instead would like to know, who would jump the gun and try to buy this thing?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Celi...c#ht_506wt_1165 Its vin-swapped, the real deal, and supposedly clean as a whistle....Personally i wouldnt but it, but im sure some of you on this site would. -------------------- (\__/)

I think the biggest problem would be IF the car was ever totaled, the insurance co would deny the claim because they would find out the vin was wrong.
Other than that, you can take the plates off any celica of the same color, put them on a gt4, and daily drive it without any issues. Its not like cops pull people over and verify their vin matches. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
