Which in today's money is about $5100 difference.

Couldn't tell you the difference between a GT-S and a 4-door Corolla DX, or something. Never really cared what those cars (4-doors) were worth new.

Its one of the reasons you see WAYYYY more SR-5's than GT-S', people didn't want to spend that much money on a sports 'Corolla'....thats really a marketing blunder, imo.
