All the time, When I bought it rims were dented costed around 500 fix. Then a month later the engine blew I was hella pissed. Last time I ever go buy at that dealership again.
Nope...it brings a large smile to my face each and every time I get into it.
After hitting a dog a year ago (the dog survived, 40MpH), I decided to sell the celica. I needed a car with more room, because I got a daughter. It had to be a toyota at least, so I bought a nearly new Avensis turbo diesel (don't know if you it in the USA). That was the biggest mistake I've made. Nothing wrong with that car, but I couldn't get used to it the way it feld on the road and so on. After nagging and wining for about a year I got "permission" from my wife to sell this car, and this weekend I get my GT. (I'm so happy) biggrin.gif
There have been many times where i have regreded buying my celica in the first place or regreded doing any number of things, but at this point I'm happy with it and glad I have it as I dont owe anything on it at all, its free for me to have (dont run so no issurance,mantinance, tabs etc to pay) its a little more then a rolling statue basicly, some day I it will run again but for now its just as i see it in pictures.

oldest thread ever. laugh.gif


holy crap, this thread is like one of the first threads on this site, I remember posting it to get people to interact with the site a bit more. At the time there wasnt alot of tech talk and although people were joining, not many were posting.

I dont regret it, the celi as a first car is awesome, reliable, slow but enough to drive, very good handing, decent economy (st), since it was my first car and a car to learn i dont regret it, but, now i want to sell it, i dont think it satisfy me anymore, i need a bit more of power and less weight, probably a 180sx
I don't regret it at all, I love the celi. I have an ST but I don't care, my daily commute is me sitting in traffic for an hour, so even if I had a faster car it wouldn't matter, lol. I do wish I had gotten a hatchback though smile.gif
Much goes for Louisville, KY. EVERYONE has s14s and civics here.
The only car I'd buy other than this is a GT-4 or a Supra. Wiki puts it as "supra-esque".
But more often than I not, even though mine is still mostly stock with sideskirts...I get hella looks.
the car just looks great and feels even better.
I'm so glad that I bought my 95 ST.

In my neighborhood I've seen two celicas and that's about it.
I saw the car in a place nearby Leeuwarden (Harlingen for those who live in Holland) and once I could afford it I went over to check it out with my dad and a week later I drove it home.
Since then I haven't had any regret of buying it, besides the lack of power (116 bhp).
i regret it everysingle day... but then i look at it and makes it all worth it
There are things I wish were different about it but overall I love it.

When I get my shop set up I'm gonna get to take her apart and make those changes.

Motor-wise I wish I had more top-end. Any time I used to race cars I would almost always take them from the line, but after some good distance they would step up past me a fender.

(a turbo should help biggrin.gif )

CLOSED on 25 acres!-shop coming soon....
Well I can't really complain about my car, my dad got it for a good deal and I traded my 1976 Ford F100 (FAST, but gas hog) to him for it. I'm actually selling the celi though... I've got my eyes on a Flint Mica '08 tC. And the tC's a 5 speed. no more auto smile.gif But yeah, even though I've only had the celi a month the ST's way too slow and I need something new...

I regret only the engine. I've bought the ST instead of GT or GT4. Haven't find any GT in good condition and GT4 was too expensive and rare here. But I like my Celi and I'm pretty sure it's one of the nicest cars in the neighbourhood tongue.gif
yeah this thread is old i think ive already replied in it b4. I dont regret it at all, it relflects my personality and always turns heads, and i love how peopel go man we dont see those anymore, i liek being unquie, luv the handling and the problem free maintence, only thing it lacks is the power but you can fix that ya know
I dont regret it at all! I wanted this car since i was 13 years old and know its mine! My dream is outside my door and i am very happy!
The only thing i regret is that its not a GT-Four (yet!...)!

Face your fears, Live your dreams!!!
im starting to regret getting the celi i have now (after the one i smashed) havent had it for 6 months and EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND somethign is wrong! sometimes i SERIOUSLY think about just selling it and my ninja turtle and giving up.

















then i slap myself and come to my senses.

I regretted picking up the Yelli Celi for the first month I had it... because money became rediculously tight... then I got paid at the end of the month and it wasn't such a big deal... then I sold my hatchback and now I'm straight ballin'

but she's out of commission right now.... I miss her.

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 tongue.gif . Now once the paint is done it should turn some heads, and hopefully break necks haha smile.gif
I regret selling it :-( and not putting hte TLC and money into it at the first sight of problems and putting it off till it just felt overwhelming.

So nope I dont regret getting my celica but I regret getting rid of it :-(

Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
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! biggrin.gif

JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
the only regret i have is when i have to fill up the gas tank.
have to learn to drive in a coolish way...
the only thing i regret about the 6gc is that i couldn't get the gt4 but that's out of my control. i have loved both of mine.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
i haven't regretted either of the celi's i just wish i had found this forum when i had got my frist one!

my thoughts exactly. i do miss my 97 LE but not enough to trade my 99gt for it. but it woulda been nice to know what parts i shoulda taken off it b4 the insurance company took it away.
