It is funny though that although it is a nice mk3 that you would probably find a dealer asking 8 to 9k for it would be more like 50k if it was only 3 or 4 years newer.

if the car was maintained and driven at the intervals he stated, seals usually arent a huge problem. if the car is left sitting for years at a time, then it becomes an issue.

sounds like his g-pa had a handle on things and took care of his car. id do general upkeep and keep that mint stock. its not as desirable as the mk4, but in 10 years if its only got twice the miles on it or a lil more, it will be worth some dough. not that id ever say to sell it.

personally id drive the piss out of it. thats what cars are meant to do, especially a fun sports car like a supra. if collecting cars and having ppl ooh and aah over it at the local park n show is what gets you going, great! thats what u should do. but if you get a car for the exhiliration and thrill of getting behind the wheel and flogging it, then u should definitely drive that thing like it was meant to be driven: hard and flat out.

just maintain it and im sure no matter what you do, it will give you years of enjoyment. congrats on the inheritance! good luck and enjoy it!
