Need advice: '02 GT or '00 GTS

**Celica** · 09-26-2004, 03:25 PM

Hi guys, I'm new here. There's currently 2 celicas at this auto dealer:

* '02 celica GT (blue) with a full TRD kit $19,000 cad
* '00 celica GTS (black) -stock $23,000 cad

I really don't know which one to get. What is the ultimate difference between a GT and GTS?

thx

the biggest difference is horsepower and ABS brakes.

You should talk to DIGABLE on the board, he is selling his gts. It has a bodykit and a few mods done to it and you can be assured that the car was well taken care of.

first I am willing to bet money the TRD kit is a replica, however, you will have to post the km's on the cars. I would probably go with the 02 GT only because it's newer and probably has less km's and would still have the factory bumper to bumper warranty.

all i have to say is gts stick.before i bought mine i test drove a tip.sad to say u don't feel the 180hp,is more like140hp, almost like buying a civic.so if u don't want to buy a civic gts stick all the way.

a little more info for u.gt and gts are about the same off the line but 2nd gear to 3rd gts is gone.and as for the trd kit don't get it,everyone has a trd celica.not to say that they don't look good its just that so many people have one,unless u want to be like everyone else.

more people have stock celicas so having the trd kit would not make you like everyone else.

Hey thx for the replys

more info: GT => 42,000 km
GTS => 58,000 km

yeah i'm pretty sure the kit is a replica too...

how much can i get for it if i sell it??

**Burrcold** · 09-26-2004, 07:18 PM

if it's wings west (urethane) then probably $800 or so...if it's fiberglass who knows...probaby a little less.

Get the GT sounds like a much better deal

oh and by the way 23k for a 00' GT-S is rediculous...you can buy an 02 Panasonic GT-S for that kinda cash

* '00 celica GTS (black) -stock $23,000 cad

**Celica** · 09-28-2004, 11:38 PM

hey guys, got another car in this mix:

'00 BMW 328ci coupe - black (manual) $24,000

I know this is a celica forum but what u guys think ???

**ack** · 11-29-2004, 08:01 AM

If it's has the newer style front end, go with the BMW. I was looking at some myself but they all had too many km's for the money.

how many km, because that is very important. if its over 50, forget it. once the warranty is up, you will cash out each month for the service. ive been through that.
