Supra Opinions Wanted

[MZDA5274]

Hey Guys,

I'm a new member obviously and was just looking for some info and opinions on how you guys would handle this.

So I see this MKIII Supra on the side of the road, no plates or anything. I call this guy up and it turns out he wants $500 give or take.

I go and look at this thing today and $500 seems a bit much for me, but then again I drive a chevy with a 350.

I pull in there and start to look around. It looks like it was in a little fender bender, NBD I'm not expecting much for $500. Then I start to really look.

No Frame rot, sounds good! The hood is popped so I look. This guy told me he starts this thing every day, YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH Right. First off there's no coolant resevoir hooked up. The hose coming off the top of the radiator broke off and the resevoir is just hanging out there.

I start to check around the valve covers, yeah there's a leak in the corner for sure, it looks like some oil has piled up there. Then I notice the exhaust sagging, yep, it rotted out.

The engine looked good though, but I'm no supra expert which is why I'm here.

It's an 86 MKIII, automatic turbo V6. 86,000 on her. I'm thinking of offering this guy $300 for it.

What do you guys think?
