Possible Newbie Here (Buying a Supra)

brandonsupra · 01-23-2007, 08:21 PM

I'll tell you everything that has gone wrong or is going wrong with my car. I bought this biggest rat bag piece of shit supra around. I paid 4500$ for it. The previous owner paid 9000$.

Transmission - needs a complete rebuild (automatic) - $2500 quote
Power steering - rack and pinion is shot, leaking fluid fairly quickly. - $950 quote
Shocks - leaking everywhere!!! - bought them for $500, not installed yet
Tires -bald as hell, not really a defect all cars lose tread. - $1000 total bill
Exhaust - leak in the exhaust causing weird noise - haven't been quoted
Torque Converter - not positive this is the issue, car makes weird noises
Calipers/Brake Pads/Rotors - all replaced because of wear. $1000, installed free
Valve Cover Gaskets - leaking oil everywhere! not quoted

I'm sure there are more things waiting to bite me in the ass soon. This car is cursed! Well, let's be honest...it's 17 years old and was probably driven to hell and back. I love my car, but boy do I get sick of having no money!
