    @Jamezzy
    That's what I've been doing for the past week...
    Just test drove this car earlier today. Then as soon as I got home, I drove my '162...

    Still can't decide yet... This car I'm looking at is at a very good price, it actually runs reliably, and has more power, but I don't wanna get rid of my car.
    (Can't afford to keep two cars)

    -dad is original owner
    -white (favorite car color)
    -known history
    -clean title
    -relatively clean interior
    -sentimental value
    -It's already in my driveway. XD

    Cons:
    -rust
    -overheating
    -water leaking
    -240K miles
    -130hp

    -clean title
    -new radiator

    Selling your Celica is against ST162.net rules. You will be breaking the law and therefore face the consequences which I am unable to disclose :evil :hehe

    I'm an unemployed college student.
    That, and my parents don't have room at the house for another car.
    (I have to park my car in front of the house. There's no room in the driveway, and no more room in front of my house.)

    Also, whatever car I get will be my daily. I won't have the time to drive or enjoy the old car.

    We'll see how this goes... So far my Facebook buddies are getting me to lean towered keeping my car.
    (add me!!! thaiboy92@yahoo.com)

    That'll always be the problem, being young and keeping maintenance of a sports car. It would be a shame if you had to sell it because of peer pressure and no money to keep it going :sad
