Being 24 and knowing how life works a little more than when I was younger..I would say no, specially if its going to "skint" you badly.

i can assure you that the majority of the population will tell you to spring for it, but i'll try to be impartial.
your current celica is pretty ace, about the only thing better would be a 4. if you think you would spend as much time or more thinking about how much it's costing you as you would enjoying it, it's probably not the right time. i skipped out on a sweet deal for an srt-4 when i found out how much insurance was going to cost. it wasn't worth that much to me. i've never driven a gt-4, but i hope to someday, and i hope it exceeds my expectations. they're beautiful cars, and seeing your skill for making the one you have so unique, i wager you'd could make a 4 even more beautiful before long. if things go pear shaped you can always sell it! -------------------- ![]() do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

Id have to say no. At the end of the day its just a car, and once you own one youll find yourself needing to mod it which means more money. In my opinion is not worth it just use the money to have a good quality of life. The novelty wears off pretty quickly- and gt4's will only become cheeper

As mentioned earlier I can always sell it if I end up too poor. My loan for this one finishes this month so its only fair to start a new one haha. Will keep an eye out for a good gt4 and let you all know how it goes. |

haha, don't you think you've bought enough cars lately mate?
Nah after your fiasco with that white one then I'm gonna stick to ones already imported. Did you get it sorted out? Was it really 66000? |

Hi, hows it going.
A more expensive option but Andy is selling his WRC replica - awesome car, standard engine wise but otherwise a full replica of Juha Kankkunens rally car from it's debut rally - pure Celica porn - he want £8k for it though but to be fair it has cost him nearly £10k to get it into this state. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-TOYOTA-CELICA-W...1QQcmdZViewItem This post has been edited by BigAl_UK: Mar 9, 2007 - 4:29 AM |

To be honest GT-4 Was meant to be rally driven meaning that you should drive the living hell out of it. Buying it for non sport situations is a plus but could be done without it.
If you do buy the car I would recommend investing into making it more durable and cpecifically concentrate on handling and suspension. Then go out back and drive 140km per hour over bumps, over pools of water, sand, dirt, jump off small hills just to see how far you can fly before killing youe suspension.. you know the usual he he -------------------- Captain Pessimist
