You see, my car is not stock. I have put way more than 7.5k on parts. If it was stock, price rage for a GTS I would sell would be from 800 to 2500 depending on how clean the body and interior is.

Funny thing is I got the car for like 800 bucks with a blown 16v .... but parts are expensive. For example, if you are going to get the kouki OEM jdm front bumper (with lip, grill ,brackets, emblem, lights), you are going to be spending 1K more or less depending where you source the parts. If you would have built a car like mine even before initial D, it would have cost you more believe or not. 20v recently came down in price. 3 to 5 years ago you would be spending 2k+ just for the motor with wiring without any labor or parts for rwd conversion. The blacktop 20v B/T was produced from 1995 to 2000. If you got a blacktop back in 2002, you would still have spent more $ then than what you would now simply because back then, the engine was newer and more AE111 on the streets than on the junkyard.


Go source the prices for the things my corolla have. Please dont take this on the bad way but some people dont realize that there is more to a corolla than a trend.
