Celica 190 - NWS
I was offered an unregistered one (but pre the almost un-noticeable facelift) at £17,250.00 at a main dealer and I think was a lot more flexibility on price as well. I was amazed on the test drive to have the salesman urging me to red line it to feel the variable valve timing effect. This was the car he was hoping to sell me - it had 25 miles on it! Quick car but I couldn't help thinking of that Morrisey song - 'hairdresser on fire'

Not a bad deal - best price on a new shape 'T-sport' is £18750 for a metallic....did the dealer have any 'old shape' 140 bhp models?

Predictably - sorry, don't get it?
Are they giving out double chest medallions on Supras then?

Sorry, every other message I post here is "buy a supra"

I'm talking MKIV, MKIII is the medallion man car, a sort of tacky knight rider.

well i think celicas are alright,including celica gt4 or a gt4 carlos sainz, i figure youre going for the newer shape but theres something to be said for the look of the 5th generation models, especially the bonnet scoop.
stick with what you like, supras are way too common these days.

Not much more will get a new RX8 NWS and from what I've seen, I know which I'd rather have. I just wish I could justify buying one !
