Celica Forums General Discussion General I'M KEEPING THE GT!

I'm so f*cking indecisive. My dad told me that my payment cannot go over what I pay now (225) if I get a GTS, but that is nearly impossible with no down payment and a possible trade in. So I'm keeping my GT, unless some out of this world deal comes by me. The only GTS's that I would be able to afford right now are ones with high miles, and I don't want to do that.

I was thinking about it also, and I can just keep modding my GT. I know it's not as fast as the GTS, but it's still damn fun to drive. Then after school I will be able to get something better then a GTS.

What do you guys think of my decision? I know I've made plenty of posts about my sitution, but I got really excited after it was a possibility that I would get a GTS, now I'm just sticking with the GT.

well..just stick with ur GT..make it look good..go for look instead of go..

Good. You'll save money and won't piss your parents off.

Well if you want the GTS so bad I have a idea for you, have your dad pay $225 and you pay what ever else. so if it will cost $300/month you only have to pay $75 which is not bad at all.

keep your gt and turbo it.

Hmm...seems like you got the impression that my parents pay for my payments right now? HAHA Yeah right! I pay for every cent of my insurance and car payments, he just doesn't want me to have a higher payment because he wants me to have money for other things I need, etc.

haha make up your damn mind!

keep it

^^^okay sorry I figured since you said ur dad doesnt want a payment over $225 i was taking a guess that he was making the payments. my bad , oh well. Jsut tying to help you out.

Well if you really want the car, cut out spending money on stuff you DONT need. Like eating out, buying stuff for the car. Making sacrifices sucks but if it gets you where you wanna be than it doesn't hurt to slow down on the spending.

keep your money and the gt and just save for a car thats nicer and faster than a gts.

nothign wrong at all with having a gt. i have a gts and hell id be more than happy with one. to me, its still a celica. fun as hell to drive like you said..

*cough* evo MR *cough*

gts... no gts... evo?

go for the evo!

hey man everything happens for a reason.

Yeah what's wrong with a GT? It's still a Celica, good enough for me...

omgggggggggggggggggggg GREATTTTTTTTT IDEA ill get my dad to pay the 24o he pays monthly.. upgrade to a 2oo5 gts and pay the difference... how much do you guys think it will up the payments?

Good for you!

How old are you, and are you in school, or planning to start, and what job are you working, what are your future plans, if you don't mind sharing?

If your parents control what you pay for, then you have no business getting a faster car.

Enjoy what you have.

yeah buddy...get a evo, which is higher insurance...i say screw it...get a STI and rule the world

I had a 2000 GT, and I traded it in for a 2001 GTS. I'm really happy with it, but I plan on keeping my GTS for a long time. Yes the payments went up from 225 to almost 300. Its just something that you have to decide on and see if its worth it to you. For me it was, but that might not be the case for you. Good luck man!

i pay $250 for car and $285 for insurance (its a gts).. .. if you can pay for a better car nor a faster car then i say go for it..

ipay just as much as you hehe

i c you live down the street from me... i'm from central vally..

yeah, just keep it.

sound advice... purchase something more worthwhile when you have the funds to do so. Don't settle

just keep the car... go with some suspension upgrades so that you can waste stock gts's in the turns

im not trying to sound mean... so dont take me wrong... i wouldnt by a gt

buy*



but also to add that just like buy a integra ls instead of a gsr...
who wants a prelude if its not a h22

Josh, how's it going? Anywhere closer to a decision?

Just keep it and be happy with it man. As long as it is a Celi, you can't go wrong.

Now get to modding.

I have a GTS hehehehehe...

Keep the GT. The GT is a great car. I love my MR2...but some days I really really miss my Celica GT.

Dont let the GTS guys bother you...I get to smoke a GTS on a daily basis where I live...and I'm just driving the plain old 1.8 VVTi engine, same as in your Celica...turbo'd of course.

Jokes aside...enjoy your GT. If you want something with a little more kick, invest in a nice turbo kit. I promise you'll have a LOT more fun in with a nice turbo on your GT than you would just driving the GTS.

Peace,...

^^ yup

true that, i was about to trade mine in for an 00 Carbon Blue GTS but decided with the extra patient and money i save, i can turbo my GT before summer hits next year
