If you don't mind a suggestion, I agree with 97SupraTT - you should consider looking at it a totally different way rather than jumping from "Supra" straight to "less than $14K".

What you need to look for starts within yourself. Really! Please answer the following:
1) Why do you want a Supra and not some other car like a rustang or a silvia. Please be as specific and realistic as possible.
2) Exactly what do you want to do with your Supra after you get it? Daily driver? Chick magnet on weekends? Road race?
3) Do you want to modify your Supra?
3a) If so, what are your goals for the modifications? Something fun to drive, or a 1500rwhp monster? Resell it for quick profits? etc.
3b) What are your goals for your Supra after the modifications? Daily driver? Chick magnet on weekends? Road race?
3c) Do you have another car you can use for transportation while you modify your Supra? If not, how about a bicycle? (Again, not joking around at all - this is a serious question).

To help you, for example, I need to know if you want to look cool in a shiny thing that looks like it might be fast (like an n/a Supra), or do you really want to go fast? However, I'm not looking for an answer to that question - please go through each of those 1,2,3a, 3b, and 3c and answer each one as completely and thoroughly as possible.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
