First to second is a common complaint with most manual transmissions. It's touchy on my MR-2 and terrible on my Accord and wasn't great on any Supra I've ever worked on. Depending on how bad it is just swapping out the gear oil for something like Redline's MT90 may be sufficient.
People almost always take a loss on modified or restored cars. Cars are NOT investments unless it's an old, mint collector's car (protip: the MKIII Supra isn't one). Cars only ever cost you money.... unless you're stealing everything.

What other information do you want? Have a compression test done, check oil and coolant for signs of contamination, check for diagnostics codes AFTER test driving it for a little bit (some people clear them before a buyer arrives but driving around until it warms up will cause most critical codes to show back up)... See the MKIII FAQ section for info on checking diagnostic codes, it's easy and you only need a paperclip.

The more feedback the better. I'm also thankful of course for the extra pointers.

Okay, just checking. I know we had a brief discussion via PM about upgrades, I tried to give you a brief synopsis but I've been a bit too tied up to start a new thread on the matter. If you start one though I'll chime in when I have a chance... Looks like I'm going to be tied up in court for the next day or two though... whoopie...
 I hate testifying in court cases.Also, just so you know.... Sports car forums are rather seasonal. This forum isn't one of the busiest Supra forums so in the fall and winter it can really slow down. Spring and summer always provide a surge of traffic.

Tomorrow: Bonus or bust!
Well tomorrow is two things for me.
First, I turn 39. Second and way more exciting for me I'm going to look over/drive the car that started this all. If all goes well it will be a day of many first times for me. The first time I have ever purchased a vehicle on my birthday. My first time being a Toyota owner. My first time owning a rear wheel drive turbo vehicle. If I seal the deal I'll post pictures of my happy self and the new addition to my family. As an added bonus the current owner is more than happy to continue assisting/working/upgrading/restoring the car after she is sold. Thanks for all of your help everyone.
