Should I trade in my 2000 GT for a 2003 GTS? #156793 Apr 16, 2:35pm Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 326 CA, USA l2pdrums Member 2000 Toyota Celica GT l2pdrums Member 2000 Toyota Celica GT Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 326 CA, USA What do you all think. I have a GT with 95K miles on it. I saw a yellow GTS with trd kit. I still owe about 2X what its worth and is it worth it to trade it in for a new one? I really wanted a GTS, but stupid me, they didn't have one when I went, so I got the GT. Everybody from Ecelica ROCKS!!!

In the meantime, I will buy mods that I can later take away and put in GTS, if I get it. Everybody from Ecelica ROCKS!!!

Performance mods cant be taken from gt to gts. there different. get gts if you want lift, and 6 spd. if you want speed, then Turbo ur car. or else swap the engine. turboing a gt will be faster than gts and it is more Turbo friendly cz it got low compression

I wish I had a GTS too. I did the same thing you did and got hastey with the buy and took the GT because they didnt have a GTS. You can still make the GT fast and if you keep it, it will be easier to do that from a financial point of view.

So no GTS for me. i think you made the best decision. it would be different if you had gobs of $$, but if you did..why would you be driving a 4-banger in the first place? there isn't enough difference between the gt and gts to justify losing that much money.

Not really. The GT S/C from TRD puts out less HP, more torque. It's nearly identical to the GTS. Except, no lift or 8000rpms To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation To know even one life has breathed easier This is to have succeeded.
