what did you pay for your mk3?

I just spent $4100 for an '89 Turbo Sport Roof, 146K with no rust, nearly perfect body (except that the front bumper was repainted by an ape) and almost flawless interior. Of course there are a few cosmetic blemishes inside and out, but still incredible for a 23 year-old car. Engine runs really smooth and has a few nice upgrades (HKS BOV, 3" Magnaflow exhaust, GReddy turbo timer, etc.) It was a California car, where I picked it up and drove it over 700 miles in two days with absolutely no issues. I'm thrilled with my new toy!

If you have a rust free MKIII, with no huge bangs, ripples or dents.. the rest is just fluff. : ) Nice find!

Haha! Pics coming very soon. I need to wax and detail it first though. All the bugs and grime from a major road trip don't make for a great first impression.

1st 87 turbo supra I paid $1,640 with leaky body.

I paid $300 for my 2nd 87 n/a "twopra".

1st- 1987 Maroon int/ext

NA-5speed T-top-All stock under 100K miles- $1200.

Original Paint was fading on hood but the rest was pretty shiny after a nice buff. Spent about $200 on pacesetter catback w/ flowmaster (magnaflow?) catalytic converter came with it. Sold it.

2nd-1991 blue int/ white exterior 7mgte-5speed. $1400

Front end damage. Had Mines ECU, 57 trim Ct26, rebuilt engine with stock components, Cometic HG, Ksport coilovers, cusco sway/tower strut stuffs, 3" full exhaust setup, Hyper ground kit, bunch of gauges...i deleted most of them as was kinda cluttered. Came with RSS rims-

3rd-1991 Blue int/white exterior 7mge-5speed $300

Swapped everything I could from my 2nd supra to 3rd. Spent $400 on new brakes (premium crossdrilled/slotted) and pads from R1concepts. Damn good shit. Would highly recommend getting them if you have a tight budget. Would post up pics but only the engine compartment looks good...the rest...
