What do you have to look for in the supras, aka rust, knocks bangs etc

Alreaddy had a look at a nice silver 94 model but it had rust around the rear window and the seats were worn alot...
If it has been well-maintained, and bone-stock, these cars are very reliable. Even that rust around the hatch can easily be cleaned out and repainted, as the metal there is quite thick.

As you know, seats are a regular wear item on any car. You can get the oem seats recovered, or replace them with racing seats (eg. Sparco Milano).

The big thing to look for is maintenance records, and whether or not it has been modified.

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.
