I regret it's a convertible in WA weather. and now it seems to need alot of suspension/handling components replaced (i.e. replaced brake pads,two rotors, new tires all around, now needs new struts)

I regret getting my ST now. I had a chance to pick up many different cars, but I was ignorant... especially into thinking that I can make it into a GT4!
A couple of cars passed me such as, 325i, AE92GTS, SC300, and Prizm GSi.. I wish I could have picked up the GSi instead since it was only 1250. Now I regret geting my 2000 Celica GTS, 20 bucks of gas last me 4-5 Days. I plan on getting it set and selling it for an MR2/Spyder, or something RWD in the future.. [after college..] |

Nope, ive always enjoyed it. Its rare to see another one everyday, let alone one that was worked on. It was slow but thats why i swapped . Now once the paint is done it should turn some heads, and hopefully break necks haha

i don't regret buying mine and i also don't regret selling it either haha. when i bought it there was only one gt in the town i live in and no st but in the past year they have neen popping up like weeds there wasn't a day that went by where i didn't see a gt go by it kinda bugged me but i was the only one in town with an st until a kid up the street bought one i was furious. so a week later i went to a mitsubishi dealership that had a 3000gt i was eyeballing for the past month and traded the old girl in for it needless to say the only thing i miss is the gas mileage... haha crazy thing is a friend of mine bought the celi 2 days later so it really hasn't left my life completely i do all the maintenance for him

Sometimes I do with some minor brakedowns/wear and tear signs. But when I start to drive, the Oil is @ the right temp and a push the pedal trough the floor pan is just FUN!

Dude, the Subaru 2.5RS Impreza is SLOW! My boy's Integra type-r all motor kills those. Why would you want to settle for less? A friend of mine bought one a while back and she was enthused becuz it's a Subaru with AWD turbo. Later she hated it cuz it lost to almost everything out there. She missed her old car. All I can say is, if you want to settle for more, go after an LS6 V8 Trans Am (my personal favorite since i was a kid) or atleast a Turbo MR2 or S2000.
But over all, I've had 2 other cars in my life besides the Celica. A H22A (JDM) Vtec Prelude and a 3.0 Vtec Accord. And honestly, the Celica is bar far the most adored by me. No doubt that there is lack of power, but definately more benefitial and RELIABLE than the other two cars. I don't regret getting it at all and probably won't ever sell it. I'll probably pass it down to my children or something. |

Sometimes I wish I had something else with a little balls to it, but what keeps me going is the thought of what will actually happen when I sell my 200sx and boat. 3sgte.
