1st Supra- '87 Turbo Targa 5 speed. Blown engine solid body with some minor dents and dings, 89 taillights and climate control. $800

2nd Supra- '89 Supra Targa N/A Auto. Missing engine and engine harness and chassis harness for the front. Engine caught fire and burned everything. Mint blue interior, rusty rear wheels wells, also had been hit in the front and the frame was repaired but looked like shit. Ended up using everything good off this car and put it on my 87 and junked the body. Think I payed like $650.

3rd Supra- '87 Turbo Auto dealer installed sunroof. Pretty solid body with some major dents on rear quarters, good interior. Ran good for about a week then ended up pulling the engine and parting it out then junking it. Think I paid about $800 for that one.

4th Supra- '91 N/A 5 Speed factory sunroof. Basically mint condition but missing some interior stuff. Had shadow gray interior. Dude started parting it out thats why it was missing some interior. Paid $300 for it because it didn't have a title. Ended up selling it last summer for $300 after doing some mods to it.


5th Supra- 1988 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa 5-speed. Few minor dings a little bit of surface rust around rear wheel wells. Descent condition leather interior, engine had very bad rod knock. Also came with a brand new aluminum racing radiator and dual fan kit. All for $1200.

Supra 2- $150.00 and my 37" LCD TV: 87 Turbo, 5 Spd, Targa, ABS. Was running like crap (previous owner did NOT know supra's), ran great for a week, it broke down and had to park it in a turnout. I was gettin the money for a tow (we're talkin 3 days) someone pushed it off a small cliff

Supra 3- Traded an ignitor for an 85 Celica GT-S Coupe for it: 88 N/A, 5 Spd, damaged front end, bad motor, everything else is cherry

Fully built 7mgte (only motor) with forged pistons, bored .20, arp supporting hardware, redone head, front facing intake, everything to asemble back together other than gaskets and arp head studs, And an 89 na completely stock with the best body I have ever seen.


3rd Supra: Junked/Parts car-380.00!!-88 7mgte- hole the size of a dollar coin in block, no rear end, almost complete interior, I got the complete working turbo system off it (worth the 380.00 I spent on whole car) Targa top.

I think the real question should be not what you paid for the car but what you put into it after you bought it?

Tsk Tsk on me. I paid $5000 for mine. I have a 91 single turbo JZE. It was owned by an old man and sat in his garage for 6 years. It has 70k on it and everything looks mint. The issue being after 6 years in a garage things started to dry-rot. Drove great for one year now my turbo is billowing smoke. I have been thinking of fixing it for 3 years but I really dont know where to bring it or how much it would cost. For now it sits waiting for the day we hit the road again. Im stuck driving my damn accord V-tec 6 with no power stearing, reverse or 4rth gear.

$300 and I'm not going to admit just how much I spent to end up with a car I could have bought for $5,000....


I intend not to make that same mistake with my next car.
