Celica Forums General Discussion General 2003 GTS vs 2004 GTS

I was browsing thru a Toyota dealership and I found a 2004 GTS w/action package and leather seats for $26.3K and a 2003 GTS w/action package without leather seats for $25.5K. They are not much different in price, are the leather seats worth it. Also,
Are there much differences between the 03 and 04 models?

They're both the same, nothing has changed. It's up to you if you want leather seats. I personaly don't like them 'cuz they get hot in the summer & cold in the winter. But if you like leather seats, then get the one w/the leather seats 'cuz it'll cost you more to get them upholstered in leather later on.

Just decide whether or not you want leather now

Billy told me this word of advice...sit in each one...you will know which you like best the instant your butt touches it.

That's right...Except for when people take SHITS and JIZZ on it!

lol does this happen to you often or something?
leather

leather is heavier if yuo plan to race later

I'd go with the 04 without doubt. Go look up blue book price on a 2001 vs a 2000, even with the same mileage.

If you buy the 03, you're gonna be losing a ton of cash when you sell the car.

Nah...It was an inside joke

personally i prefer the cloth seats to the leather seats
i do a lot of riding and friends really know how to f... up your sh!t
so i would just save my money and go without leather

04 will have better resale value

Get the 2004, better resale value down the road (like everyone said)

The 03 should be $2-3K less than that

get the 04.

shizzle. Oh and I love the leather. Just get dark tinted windows and you will never notice the heat! yay.

Plus, chicks love leather!

No stains, and smoke smell doesn't stick! WOot! I wish I had leather

Did you actually just start a post with the word "shizzle"?

the leather once look way better but take it with out leather and buy some torino 2 seat`s that match the car. mine leather is all fucked up and it is half real half fake leather i fhink

my leather seats are one of my favorite features of the car

I wish I could get leather added for $800. Katzkins wants $1200 to redo my seats.

Go with leather while you have the option.

get 04 it has way better resale value

and im a cloth fan its easier to maintain and less fragile

i actually prefer cloth over leather...

leather is nice as hell, but cloth is more comfortable imo to the skin and such...

but either way, i wouldn't mind either one, i would take either one.

Maybe try to find a 2004 GTS w/action package without leather seats.. and see how much that is. When I got my car I went to 5 different dealers until I found what I wanted for the right price.. then talked them down a few $k... Always talk them down! One of my friends got a $29k mustang to $22k (after tax and license and everything).

leather is hard to maintain but if you buy good leather conditioner like Malco leather conditioner it'll always smells great and look good. take care of it and it should last I noticed wear on my seats (25000 mi) but nothing major, my celi is black on black and it does get hot with 5% tint. get one of those reflectors to help with the heat

true^^^ burn the hair off your ass

i would go for the 03 if it was untitled then they should knock a ton off the price simply for depreciation tehy can't sell it new because it isn't new anymore simply because it is already a year old.

if they won't chnage the price then get the 04 and live wiht the leather

i prefer cloth cause it holds you in better but couldn't find cloth in a gts when iw as looking
