hell yeah.... plus a Celica GT is nothing to rave about.... pretty slow, FWD, pretty cramped inside..... its a chick car.... a kouki with high mileage is still a kouki and 6K isnt too bad. I bought my 95 SE for about 6500 from a dealer, but then again that was in 2004 and it had 98K, a one owner car, and SE model with leather, abs, VLSD, 5spd, sunroof, all the goodies, so I guess being it was a newer car then and it was a dealer I guess my price wasn't too bad.
Or if you really want to find a cheaper model, buy a 95/96 5spd with less miles and convert the front since you plan on swapping over a JDM bumper, grille, etc and those have to be painted regardless. I dunno its all up to you and what you plan to do with the car. Sure a 5spd swap isnt too pricey if you find all the right parts, I was gonna 5spd swap my daily driver S13 til I found a 5spd for half the price of a swap lol $300 bucks. So I bought another S13 and now I have 2 S13s lol. One that was auto and one that is 5psd.
But part wise it ran me about $400 for all the S13 5spd parts,
- 5spd trans with trans mount (hardware aka bolts) ~ 150
- Driveshaft 5spd non abs ~ 50
- Transmission plate~ 25
- Junkyard clutch pedal assembly ~ 25
- Slave cylinder ~ 20
- Clutch Master ~ 30
- OEM Nissan clutch hard line ~ 15
- OEM Nissan throw out bearing ~ 30
- 6 OEM flywheel bolts ~ 30
- Stainless steel clutch line from SPL ~ 25
- Speedbleeder from SPL ~ 10
- Pilot bushing ~ 5
- Flywheel - free from my S14 (upgraded to fidanza)
- Clutch - free from other car.
