Other than that one glaring problem, I think the car is great.

Can I talk about your pics?
#1 The pics are GREAT. Many times, noonday pictures are TERRIBLE because they are washed out due to the son. Not these two. Especially the one on the shadow side of the car, that is cool.
#2 I have to scroll to see the whole thing. Can you size it down to a normal screen? Me, I prefer 1024x768. Someone running at 800x600 might still have the same complaint. But my biased opinion is that nowadays, when so many have advanced video cards, 1024 is fair game.
#3 Do you remember your camera settings? Looks like you used low speed film (100?) because the image is PERFECTLY clear. I'm just curious also about the settings. I'd guess F16/1/125. Close?
#4 Who makes the wheels? They are excellent.
I scrolled back and didn't see you mention them.
I see my ambiguity on dash protectants. I accidentally found the warning in my glove box, which said not to spray these things directly on the dash. I made an incorrect mental note from that.
You were right previously: I cannot believe how many people look and gaze at this car! Mine is red also.
Anyone know: I have to run an extra power wire for an electric antenna, right? Any opinions on the reception of the rubber one versus a long electric one? The stock one is long, but reception is average. Poor for my taste, actually, since I like several stations that are 60 miles away.
I toke the photos in a hurry with my Sony Digital Mavica which uses floppy disc's. I plan to take more photos after I have it waxed and detailed Saturday, and I will adjust my camera settings too.
Yeah, the power antenna needs power wire from the radio. The universal power ones run $60. Not sure about reception comparison, but I would think the power one would have the advantage. The rubber ones are a easy install, so you could try it out, and take it back if ya didn't like.

Anybody out there want a blue spoiler?
Personally, and this is just my opinion, I don't give a damn if someone else can see ME in the car while I'm driving or not. But I CERTAINLY want to be able to see what's behind me, beside me, etc.
Are you one of those guys who reclines the seat so far back that you are looking THROUGH the steering wheel while you drive?

Brenda - I doubt my wife would appreciate a big blue spoiler in with her tulips and whatever else she's got in there. Probably clash with the little garden gnomes and pick flamingos....

Are you in Canada?
BTW - sawing a brand new Eclispe yesterday with a rear spoiler that looked like it came off of an F1 car: huge wing supported in the center (not ends, the center) by a pair of 24" high pylons. The car was a GS (not even a GT) and the driver was poking along at 57 in a 55, trying his best to pretend I wasn't there. What a goober.
Realize, if you haven't already, red paint is difficult, if impossible to match!
You realize, of course, that spectra blue is the BEST color for the Celica......8^)
my point was, noone is gonna pay $800 for a used spoiler, but that they do retail for that.
you should be able to get around $400 if it's in good shape.
Unfortunately, many of us are in the same scenario. They loaded up my GTS, and many others I'm sure, with stupid options. Oh well. I was happy I got a good deal, and a car with 40 miles on it.
Roadroach, you realize, I constantly get comments like, "Boy is that red." Yep, absolutely red :P
coupe2001 - when I get around to yanking the spoiler off (and paying a body shop an inordinate amount of money to fill the holes and paint rear deck), I'll probably stick the spoiler on e-bay. Would I take $400? Absolutely. But I honestly doubt I'll get much more than $200. Who knows.
Red will not fade if you keep it polished. Any paint will fade including spectra blue if it's not cared for. The owners manual tells ya to wax the car once a month. whew!

If you order from them make sure you ask for a 2000 Celica cover. I made the mistake telling them I had a 2001 and we went round and round about whether it would fit or not. They didn't want to ship it cause they hadn't tried it on a 2K1 yet.
The 2000GTS performs quite well in poor road conditions. I don't know what the key is, but it feels like a perfectly balanced front/rear car, even though it is not. I am very please with the snow handling of this car.
Like all cars with low profile tires, it could use a dedicated set of snow tires. With the high gear ratios it could use better traction for safety overall. But like I said, overall performance is good.
Ummm, wouldn't it be more effective to simply NOT let the kids jump on the roof of the car?
Oh, wait, I see. You meant as a permanent piece of playground equipment, buy an old Ford. OK, gotcha.....
1. Do it yourself.
2. Pay someone to do it for you.
3. Tell your kids not to do it.
Ain't that the truth....
So is it possible to get one without the sunroof ?
Have you located a GT w/o the sunroof to try on for size? It would be a shame if you browbeat a salesman into locating a GTS w/o sunroof for you only to find that it doesn't fit either.
Is it possible to get one without a sunroof and with the leather ?
well thanks for the GT-Tip, I will do that actually tomorrow
Brenda
Did you still get to choose the color ?
BTW - the dealer I saw who had these stripper GTS's is in Austin. That maybe a little out of your area.....
