cars like this are grey imports. Toyota won't bring them officially (not worth the shelf time / after sales for them)

passenger cars / saloons = volume = $$$ after sales.

The problem with grey imports is the dealers will sell you these cars but after sales are :rolleyes:

you are much pretty left on you own. If you are a newbie, i suggest to stop by the nearest forum (toyota celica malaysia) and upload yourself with info.

wah so lucky of you a would be celica owner.

the present one in 1.8 VVTI form with 6 speed is already 6 years old (since 1998 together with MR-S). expect new model coming anytime now.

u can get almost new celica (declared as used upon entering Malaysia) and for what it is..reasonably cheap.

prepare to lose a lot when time come to re-sell, or upon repairs either mechanical or bodywork. ask UMW whether u could purchase parts from them or not? its not cheap though...

no, they are from september of 1999 (japan launch) and 2000 (march) onwards for the rest of the world. Info can be verified the international VIN listings. And yes Toyota officially canned the celica & MRS in the US market from 2005 and officially too from europe & rest of the world from 2006.

::The company is moving to reduce the number of models and making more cars in the markets where they are sold. To this end, Toyota is ending European sales of the Celica, MR2 and Previa next year. Toyota has an established record of revolutionising production and quality in the car industry. The VI project could help it pull further ahead of ailing rivals Ford and General Motors.::

purchasing parts arent a problem as you can purchase via Vision bangsar or Win hin, (Loke yew). and yes, there are some mechanical parts that the toyotas share with altis, so UMW isnt a problem once you know th part number.

consider this; a brand new 2003 headlamp per side for MRS is under 1K, a brand new Nissan S15 headlamp from Tan chong is 9K!! but pararell import alone cost RM4K.

The 'reason' why 'some' celicas is declared at 1998 (is the murky reasons to underdeclaring it) ~ This loop hole was already questioned by the customs a few years ago when the fiasco of imported cars (like the BMWX5's brought in by grey importers) being declared EVEN before the launched year!!!

no problem, just enlightening misinformation so that toyota gems can be much appreciated.

::As far as the United States was concerned, the Mid-engined Runabout (MR) from Toyota was discontinued in 1995.* Sales numbers of the Mark II were going down as the price was going up.* By the end of 1995, partly due to the Yen's risen value, the MR2 Mk II had ballooned to a price of nearly US$40,000.* Instead, Toyota began concentrating on providing passenger cars, light trucks, and, especially, sport-utility vehicles to feed the appetite of the world's largest consumer market for vehicles.* For years, anyone who wanted a decently-priced sports car had to either chose the Mazda Miata, or try to track down a used MR2.* Most manufacturers were introducing sporty coupes to satisfy "sports-minded" drivers.* These were dark days, indeed...
Mark 1

Mark II
http://www.spyderchat.com/pics/colgan.jpg

Suddenly, a glimmer of light emerged from the horizon with the introduction of the MR-S Concept vehicle, first shown to the public at the 1999 Tokyo International Motor Show.* However, there was something very different about this car.* There was no roof!* The designer, Tadashi Nakagawa, wanted to create an uncomplicated car that was more about how fun it is to drive and not how fast it can go. The result is a small open top sports car that is as exciting to look at as it is to drive.* Toyota had decided to enter the mid-priced sports car segment again, but this time,* their new car was designed to compete directly against the Number One selling ragtop in history - the Mazda Miata.* Toyota also found their concentration of sedans and "sport-utes" elevated the average age of their customer.* The new Toyota MR2 Spyder, as it was called in the US, was the first product to lighten up Toyota's stodgy image and recapture market share among younger drivers.* The Celica was redesigned and a new product, the Echo, was introduced, as well.

As the third generation vehicle in the MR-series (Mark III), the new MR-S (as it's known in Japan) shared the mid-engined, rear drive configuration as the Mark I and Mark II.** The weight was pared down to just under 2,200 pounds and the car was given the engine of the new 6th generation Celica GT, rated at 138 hp.** The MR-S began it's release in Japan in the latter part of the summer of 1999, and hit US shores in March of 2000.* The car was only available in one model only (designated a "monospec" configuration) in the US and Europe, while the Japanese vehicle had 3 different versions - the "B", "Standard", and the "S" (equipped the same as the US version).* The "V" was introduced in 2001.

will forward the link on the celica later or debut on the celica can be found at the 1999 Tokyo International Motor Show link. a googgle will lead one there
