I made a topic a couple days ago saying that I was just going to keep my GT, but something kept pushing me to keep on looking for a GTS.
I already have 5 people at my work who want to purchase my GT off of me, and I have found some good deals on GTS's. I found one for 11995, 48k miles, fully loaded. And another for 1000 more with only 37k miles. My dad told me he is going to call insurance and ask them how much it would go up if I get a GTS. Hopefully it will not go up a lot. *crosses fingers*

Well, we just called insurance. I pay 150/month right now for my GT, and they told me with a GTS 6 speed it would ONLY go up to 165/month! AWESOME! GTS HERE I COME!

Make no mistake, the GTS costs a lot to insure. I don't know how the GT compares though. When you find out, please let us know. Good luck!

that 165/month is with a good student discount though. If I didn't have a good student discount, it would be at 185/month. Still not bad considering I'm only 19.

For the mere $20 difference, I say - screw the whole school thing and become a male slut in your NEW GTS!!!

speaking of insurance, heard of deductables? use it! i have so many deductables on my car insurance (dual airbag, "ABS" hahaha, "alarm", sealt belt, traffic school and etc...) funny how my insurance agent believe my GT has an ABS...and yeah they really give you bigger deduction if you have that.  but what the heck I got away with it so i'm not complaining

read and learn my son...if you're under 5 years and 60K then you're good. but if they don't honor the warranty then the dealer will charge you at least 6.5 hours of work (which can amount to 70/85 per hour of labor...that around $450-$500+). https://celicahobby.com/tech/tsb2/TSB_liftbolts.pdfbut checking and replacing just a WORN bolt is easy. just open the engine cover

I bought my GT at 40k miles and they never told me anything about still having a warranty... And I clicked on that link you gave me, and you have to remove a lot of stuff to see if the lift bolts are broken/worn. Is there any other way to know if they are broken or worn without taking off all that stuff? I'm not going to go to the dealer and spend an hour taking off all that stuff just to check for lift bolts.

LOL ...it's not hard. remember when you were freaking out about the intake install...this is much easier... there is NO way to tell if a bolt is broken. you may experience irregular lift power delivery, but since you never owned a gts you never know what irregular or regular is...it's simple, if they are worn just replace them (the two bolts cost only $1.50)...if they are broken then have the dealer do it under warranty...if the car you bought is out of warranty...then you better find yourself a cheap and reliable mechanic.
