Sorry but 19% is crazy, like flushing $115 every month down the crapper..

As for a list of what can go wrong with a 15+yr old car, the list is endless. I would save and buy with cash or a personal loan at say 6% interest max.

Look on this website for local cars if your area, maybe a fixer upper.

I agree that the price for the car is way out of reasonable range for a Stock turbo Sup'

I wouldnt pay more than 4....TOPS! and that would have to be one nice 89. a more reasonable price would be in the neighborhood of 2500-3500. I paid 2k for my N/A Targa

it all depends on how the car has been taken care of. by just looking at the car you can tell if you are goinna have some problems. if you see a lot that you dont like (as in problems)than dont buy it cuz there will always b something to fix. i know that my car isnt that hard to maintain except for minor things...i also know some supras that there is a ton wrong and everything needs fixed because it wasnt maintained.


go take a good lookthru and testdrive of the car and that will basically tell you how it was treated and if your gonna have problems

by the way that price is way too much for the car IMO (but if it is that much than it must be nice and take less money to maintain)

that sounds like a lot of money man....

I know how it feels to have the need for speed, but you can acomplish the same with a $1500 nissan 240 or any other sportscar ,but spending that amount of money is just ridiculous to me......but then again,thats just my personal opinion..... maybe you should just reconsider your priorities.... but then again....... i dunno nothin..!!!

i suppose your right... but the car looks mint on the outside and under the hood, the seats need a lot of work... but all in all its a very well taken care of car, theres a site i know where i can buy a new engine for it also $800 well fairly new 20-35km on her... that a good price?

this way you wont have any regretts in the future.......no matter what everybody else says... buying a car is like falling in love with a girl, you will want her even if all your friends tell you she's a ho'....

...and then you will waste all your money on her, buying expensive trinkets and bobbles. But it wont matter anyways, you wont be man enough for her. And after she has taken what little self respect you had left, she will let you down and leave you a broken, useless wretch of a human being, too disheartened to even admit to your friends that they were right about her...
