Should I buy this Supra?

08-20-2005, 09:46 PM

It's NA, never been in an accident, just had the clutch replaced, getting miled out at 240,000 but runs awesome (all highway km)

I'm in Canada, not that many supras for sale, should I just hold up and wait out for a nicer one, or is it not too much $$ for quarter panel repairs and new fenders to buy this one if I can get a good deal on it...
and what is this car worth to you (rust on all wheelwells this is the worst one)

Ouch...quarterpanels aren't even close to easy to replace, not going to be cheap at all... I'd wait for a better one myself, the first one I looked at look about that bad too, now I got my red one

Thanks, I'll look at it in person and try to get the price really low, but I'll probably just have to wait for a different car, I wasn't really set on getting a supra so I'll see what else comes up in my area.

I'm not sure about the rear. But I changed my passenger side fender in like a half hour. I got the fender at the junkyard for $32. But 240,000? DAAAMN! I don't care what kind of miles they were. That engine will not last. If the clutch was the only thing replaced (which it should have about 3 times) you can count on getting a new radiator, hoses, and a new head gasket. So i suggest you wait for another one. Unless you like to work on cars. And you will not regret getting an MKIII Supra.

sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear, 240 k km, that's like 149 k miles

that's still pretty high, there are people on here with about that mileage, and a lot better condition getting a turbo model... keep looking.

oh i thought this was a turbo . thats kinda high
i agree with poodles try to find another one 3k is just too much and odds are as soon as you get it your be working the head or atleast changing the timing belt .

It depends on how muuch it cost. You told us everything except how much it cost. I bought my 86.5 n/a Supra for $100 from a friend. It doesnt run but the interior is in great shape and all electricals work. I dont care about the engine right now. I planned on getting a 7MGTE for it anyway and building it the way I want it to be. The only problem i might have is the wiring but other than that I looked up what all have to do and buy. So far its comes up to no more than $2500 which is $1000 to $2500 cheaper than other Supras I've seen in my area.
