if it's not an ST202 Group-A GT-Four, forget it... just buy the FTO instead (and that is my completely unbiased opinion )

I was also busy after that! If that was all I had to do, it could have waited until today!
It does make you realise just how far cars have come - even from '86 to '94 there is such a big difference. Of course, they are not exactly in the same category of car, but you know what I mean.
On the other hand, driving old cars does have a certain charm too it. And yes, I think that 18 years (nearly 19) is old enough! It is probably older than some people on these forums, but I remember when they came out! How badly did I want one!
And to apease the gods - don't buy the Celica unless it is a GT4, then toss a coin.

A mate of mine actually picked up an 89 model GT4 (early nineties rounded shape, ala Carlos Sainz Castrol Celica) for $2.5k (less than $6k landed in Aust) at a Japanese auction and is importing it under the 15 year rule. No visible mods except a set of 18in alloys.
Looks quite clean and the auction report was quite good for the age of the car. (auction grade 3.5?)
Spend another $10k on such a care with wise modifications and it would crap all over any FTO in the performance stakes for the same money.
But wouldn't look anywhere near as good.

3. He went & brought a Skyline GTst instead
