Any one owned a celica gt 4

[silverknight]

Hi

right the dog has been sorted and i am left with around 4k and can save up for a westy over the next few months ready for the spring.

as it is winter i will need something with a roof and heater.

I have been looking at toyota celica st205 GT4 as driven by carlos saintz.

wondered if anyone had owned one and if so what to look for ?

seen some nice examples for around 3-4.5 k

thanks

I owned a Celica wasn't a great car and in the wet it will try and kill you!

doesnt the gt4 share the same engine as a mr2 turbo? if so then go for the mr2 over the gt4 they are both grey imports? (i dont think there was a uk spec gt4)

[wilsonch]

There was a GT4 uk spec but the vast majority are imports. dont know if you are bothered about insurance costs but expect a big bill. The turbos are a weak point unless they have been looked after (but how do you know). part availability could be ticky as its an import.

The GT4 is a nice car if you have the time to stick with it but as a winter toy... no.

Buy something cheap to get you over the winter and use the rest onthe westy

I had a celica st same shape as gt4 very nice car to drive and never had any problems with it, said that the gt4 is a different animal it was sold in the UK for two years so parts are available, why not get a scooby for the winter loads more choice and it will sell on after

Funny isn't it; how some quotes confirm your thoughts.

i feel much better for telling you bets

[silverknight]

thank gents

done the whole scooby thing and not worried about re selling it,

would be a weekend car as i have a van for work also have an mx6 which is coming off the road over winter for some much needed engine work.

I am happy to stick with it, it would be kept till i got bored of it .

Just sold my legnum vr4 estate so that money will be used to fund the replacement which the first on the list was a gt4.

thanks gaz
