Yup. Was the first year.

5 speed or automatic? I have a 5 speed, and the only thing I don't like is
the seats. I'm looking for some seats from a Celica.

27,000, what's the asking price, and is it from a private seller or a
dealer?

If it's from a dealer, is it Certified Used?

Now, for the crusher: it seems the 2.4L engine they used has a nasty habit
of kicking out a couple of the head bolts. I think there is a TSB (Tech
Service Bulletin) on this, but I don't know how Toyota is handling this. I
was at a Toyota dealer today and meant to ask, but forgot...

BTW, they seemed to have resolved the issue by 2007 or 2008. I think the
fix is to install a Heli-Coil, but that involves removing the head, and I
don't know if they pay for this.

For the good points:

it looks cool.

it handles like it's on rails.

it goes like a raped simian

it is a blast to drive.

it will do 125 MPH, and probably more. I was afraid of the ticket.

It has a "J" vin.
