oh and how much are you guys paying for insurance?

time to buy an 03 is right with the 04 coming they will make you some good deal.
i just bought one yesterday and love it, cannot wait the end of the work day to put my bottom on it and drive around. i got the GT 6 cylinders, with the sport package 3 (leather, high spoiler, moonroof, stereo upgrade, 6 speeds, ABS...). it is a great little car. i tradded in my 03 GT mustang, yes my mustang...... althrough i'm not a kid anymore (42) the car is great handling, good stick shift and clutch and it's engine sound come alive as soon as you it the 4000rpm's ranges.
cannot tell you for your insurance as age and record make a difference but for me it is cheaper than the Mustang GT V8 and about $800 a year for full collision and comprehensive coverage with a $250 deductible only.
car has great safety features, alarm , dual front and side air bag from factory, ABS (option), so u can get some discount.
great buy for the price. i tried in that price range the celica GT, matrix, mazda speed,protege 5, and came back with the best quick out of the tib. good luck
