Buying tips fo Celica st205 gt4 import...........PLEASE
Discussion
www.gt4oc.net is all you need, or maybe www.st205.net. Owned one for three years, and there are very little negative things I can tell you apart from.
-They are getting on a bit now, so usual niggling problems associated with that.
-Fig 8's go at between 50-80k miles, can be expensive to fix if you consider £800 expensive.
-Radiators go brown and crack open at about 10yrs old, avoid replacement at your peril (Cracked my block when the rad exploded).
-Diff mount breaks with mileage and hard use but upgrades available, never had this problem myself.
Other than that they are pretty bulletproof without mods. Test drive as many as poss and IMO buy a fresh import as it should be in better nick with lower mileage than a similary priced UK spec. Oh and buy a black one as that is the fastest colour.
