looking at getting a supra

Grandavi · 06-28-2010, 04:08 PM

I would also recommend Turbo with a tiny caveat. People are more likely to "drive" a turbo a bit harder because its a ton of fun. That doesn't mean they will up the maintenance. Also, depending on where you live, the car can have various levels of rust issues. Mine was a very straight car until 2 years after I bought it when the demons popped out. If I had read a lot here, I would have been more prepared.

I have not driven a N/A Supra, so I can't comment on them, but I notice that there are more of them for sale that seem to be better maintained. Thats not necessarily a truth, but thats what I have noticed lately. Perhaps the people who upgrade and mod the heck out of them are slowly eating up all the turbo donor cars?

Coming from someone that bought an N/a, buy a turbo if you have the chance, all the turbo cars around my area were 4000+ for one in decent shape. So, 2000 for a turbo car is a good buy.
