I have a 1995 Celica ST 5-speed that I bought 5 years ago with 53,000 miles on it....i have it up to 102,000 now and have not had any issues with it......one thing I do like about mine is the fuel efficiency...I put $120 under the hood to replace plugs, plug wires, and the air filter and I consistently hit 33-35 combined city/highway miles and recently hit 40mpg highway driving.

I am planning on tuning mine up for a little more performance, but for what it is, I love it....I paid $7k for mine 5 years ago in good condition (but i also bought it from the dealership i was working for)

the big thing that kept me off of the GT at the time was insurance.....3x as much for the GT as the ST.....
