We all know now this is the end of an era, and I've not seen any
special deals in the UK to encourage purchase of the last stocks....

Would it be a bad (financial) move to buy a new car that's not being
continued?

If you're thinking of purchasing the car as an investment, then the answer
to your question is probably yes, unless you intend to keep the car for 20+
years, and even then, there are better financial investments out there. If
you are asking whether you will have difficulty getting parts and service,
then the answer is no.

The modern celicas (gen7s) arent really that interesting a car. Not like
some of the late 90's supras and the GT4's/Alltracs which are becoming
classics and sought after, so i cant see them being that sought after in a
few years time. Find a better investment IMO.

It's basically a Camry with a cool body.

Of course, it started out it's long life and a Corona with a cool body. In
the mid-80's it became the sports car it had the veneer of. I think in the
late 80's it lapsed again, going back to the basic Camry platform. (Of
course, the mid-80's had a TRUCK motor!!!)

I've spent a great deal of money on Whiskey, Women and Fast Cars

The rest I've squandered.
