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.

This guy was just on Alltrac.net and trying to fool the members there and got caught. He tried to present himself a buyer and was actually the seller. This car is illegal ans has a usdm celica st (not GT) VIN. He swap the vin to the JDM GT-four, this is illegal. I would be very careful on purchasing this, do your homework!!!
