bought mine in August 2011, remember seeing a gt4 gen 6 and loving it early in 2011, then saw a gt in lymington, then knew I really really wanted one ! Surprised then at how cheap they were, couldn't believe it ! If only I had the 1.5k then to get a gt4 rather than the 5k needed now !
4 1/2 years later still love it , still jobs I haven't got round to doing. Spent far too much - it's had replaced;
Doors
Boot
Bonnet
Bumpers
Seats
Engine
Gearbox
Wheels
Drive shafts
Brakes
So just the shell left lol and that had rust which I am sure will return to haunt me one day.
Remember going to japfest , looking at all the cars thinking which one do I really prefer, then walking back to my car at the end of the day and thinking DEF the Celica!
no plans on ever selling it, may end in a lockup somewhere at some point but would love to keep it till it (or I!) dies !
Also done 31k miles, so just under 7k a year
