Buying a Supra, Need Help!

yongai27 · 07-10-2010, 03:03 AM

Hey I'm looking at a 90 supra that seems to be in pretty good condition. It has 187,000 miles and he is selling for 2700. it has a fresh coat of paint, an aftermarket exhaust, the block has been replaced, the crank shaft, transmission, cams, etc. have been checked by mechanics, it is automatic =(, interior is in very nice condition. It is rust free and has new tires. It is also N/A. Does this seem like a good deal? Thanks for your help.

you didnt mention if it was a N/A or turbo?

yongai27 · 07-10-2010, 03:45 AM

sorry it is N/A

Well if i were you, i would try to bargain a lower price because there seems to be alot of mantanece to be done on these cars (after buying) and you never know the full extent of the history of the car. Don't blindly purchase, look for leaks just in case

. just my two cents

haha thanks i will be sure to look for leaks. but from the description, does 2700 seem like a fair price? Im not too sure.

well to going rate is around $2100 (good condition) according to KBB (using the description provided) but that's not the best appraisal. Your in tustin CA right cuz i used a Irvine zip, not that it might make a difference. Like i said before, try to lower the price a bit if you can...
