Traded in a 2005 Toyota Celica GT about two weeks ago.

I have currently debadged, tinted, new grills and installed extra gauges on this bad girl.

How big a financial hit did you take when you traded in a 2005 for a 2005?


i did this same thing.

i traded a g35 coupe for a tsx after 10 months . yes the nissan fan boys will come out and roast me, probably most of the rest of you guys too but i had good reasons.

the financial hit is pretty huge, but if you buy an end of year 2005 it isnt so bad since you'll get a huge discount on it too.

a lot of the hit is having to pay tax and license again.

Werd, tax and license got me good. But I love love love this car. Enthusiasts we are, when you get the car you really want.
