The biggest difference between the two is that the ST has the 3S-FE motor, while the SX has the 3S-GE. The 3S-FE had 88kW and the 3S-GE had 103kW, which should pretty much sum it up! The 3S-FE motor was also used in the SV21 Camry of the same time period. I believe the FE desgination refers to a narrow angle cylinder head, and the GE means a wide angle cylinder head (ie higher performance). The GE also had the T-VIS (Toyota Variable Induction System or some such) on the intake, which makes for a very easy way to tell the two apart. Off the top of my head, other differences include: - 14" wheels on a 5 stud bolt pattern on SX, 13" wheels (of a different design) on a 4 bolt pattern on ST - SX has rear discs, ST has rear drums (front brakes may be different too, not sure) - SX only available as liftback, ST available as both liftback and coupe (so if you see a coupe then it's definitely an ST) - SX has power windows (although some had manual), ST has manual windows - Cruise control and sunroof were available as options on SX, not on ST I'm sure there's other minor differences but these are the main ones. The ST was definitely the cost cutting poverty pack version of the car, intended no doubt to lure buyers into the showroom with an attractive starting price. I have an original sales brochure for the 4th gen (which I picked up from a motor show back in highschool - wow I'm showing my age here!) so if you want to know anything else just ask! As for the price difference between the two, I'm not sure. I only looked at SX's when I was shopping around, but I would expect that an ST should be significantly cheaper than an SX in similar condition. Cheers man, hope that helps.
